Uncle Mac, I've been looking for you for years! I'll send you the address of my FFL so that you can ship me that Outdoorsman!
If you're not going to shoot it then your heirs will sell it anyway. If you don't need the money, you should shoot it and have fun with it. Old folks are allowed to have fun with guns, especially in Dallas, Texas. And I should know......
Is it missing the roll mark here, or is it just because I'm looking at it on my phone ?

I had a Jan 47, S14627x, and it was a wonderful shooter. For occasional shooting it is a treat. I 'd have to keep it and shoot it occasionally. Those are the original numbered grips.
Here's one I had.

Could you please post a closeup photo of the top of the barrel ?

DallasMac doesn't have it anymore as he graciously accepted my offer, but that's a good question you've posed. And yes, it is one of the few assembled with pre war 357 Magnum barrels, although I didn't know that when I bought it.

I was just about to ask that very question for that very reason.

Hey Jeff how about some more pictures? And congrats on your acquisition.
Here's one, I've moved the "cokes" to await a more appropriate, period wise, model. If anyone has an extra set of transitional magnas, I need some.

Ha I’m having difficulty finding some transitional Magnas too.
Thank you Jeff for the photos and information. I asked about the barrel
because one of the two RM barreled Outdoorsman I have has a serial number just five off from yours.
I know of nine examples that have the RM barrels and would love to hear from anyone that has one.

Sorry for the very old photo.

In reference to the length difference, I have measured near a dozen and a half sets and the largest difference observed was .042. The majority were between.032 and .038. Would love to have a transition Outdoorsman someday. Very cool guns in this thread.
Jeff:
Of the nine I am aware of the lowest is S69368 and the highest is S69860.

When I measured the difference between the 2 on my HDs, the difference was .040".
Also, is your shop still closed to new orders? I'm interested in some of your Ropers.

Hugh, still open, but semi retired or part time employed ! After wife retirement this past March. In Michigan at the moment after a week in LA, I much prefer Michigan! Happy to have your order but no firm time line for completion due to my new life!
