    New Vaquero, question about possible future value

    I picked up a Vaquero 4 5/8 inch 357mag over the weekend. It was new in the box from about 1997-99, I think. It’s one of the engraved ones with the simulated gold fill on the cylinders. My question is: Shoot it, or keep it new unfired condition? My personal opinion is it’s not going to be a...

    11-87 question

    I have an 11-87 with a short barrel and scope that I have used once in 15 years for deer hunting. It's a beautiful shotgun and I want to make it more useful for my purposes. 11-87 barrels are expensive but so are new shotguns, so I will bite the bullet and purchase a 28 inch vent rib barrel...

I almost ordered a stock and trigger for it but have held off based on some other issues. I don’t believe these issues have anything to...

    38 special/special

    Many years ago I took some 38 special cases and drilled and C-bored the heads to be press fit for a shotgun primer. I could pop them out with an ink pen and press new ones in with my fingers. I then set up a turret lathe to make some nylon hollow base bullets that were a slip fit into a sized...
