    Blue Light Special at the Fun Store, need date of mfg check

    27-2 with 4 inch barrel, plane black ramped front sight, P&R Ser # N6336** It's on consignment for right at 400 dollars with case, case isn't presentation grade(has plastic tray for gun with foamy lid covering that has degraded/disolved). So few marks on this gun that I'd judge it to be in...

    Neat Build it yourself AR15, gets A+ for being original

    http://www.geocities.com/elmgrove1765/project6/project6.html Don't know if it's ever been posted here or not nor how many folks from here make it over to AR15.com's "build it yourself" section. I saw this thing as it was just getting off the ground back about a year ago then lost track of...

    Your most comfortable and natural "pointing" revolver?

    Granted there's gonna be some personal opinion shining through and personal taste based upon the exposure/experience people have had towards certain designs. But I'm just curious what some people to think of being a good comfortable "pointer". For me N-frames just line up naturally and it...

    FINALLY, found a NICE 27-2 here in Ca. on consignment

    AND I DON"T FEEL RIPPED OFF EITHER! There's this nice little shop here in town that regularly gets nice consignment guns in there. If I don't make it down every other week then I usually call to check on things. Today I had a break between my college courses so I drove on down the hill to...

    Neat little Model 53 at local shop

    22Jet chambered revolver, always wanted a hotrod handgun for zapping close in varmints while out shooting and this little gun almost looks like it is just the ticket. Down at the local gunshop sits an almost NIB(box is a bit worse for wear but it's still the orig. box) model 53 with what looks...

    What gives with the DOJ site showing expiration dates?

    Are they trying to suggest that the guns have to be reapproved at some set date? I'm curious just how much money the DOJ is gonna soak gun makers for, do the gun makers have to pay a listing fee every year? Do the guns have to be re-evaluated every so often. The stupidity of it all...

    Pop is gonna get a 22lr. revolver, 4in 617 opinions

    That's likely the revolver he's gonna be most interested in, the 617 10 shot with a 4 inch barrel. Was wondering what people's opinions were of the actual gun itself, not of S&W. Actual needs for the gun is that it be corrosion resistant as this gun will see occasional use as a "boat...

    Spitting lead I'm used to, but spitting jacket material? 44Mag newbie

    Okay, just took ownership of a 29-3 with a 4 inch barrel. Lockup isn't the tighest I've ever seen on a revolver but it's what most would say is typical for S&W revolvers. Fired about 60 rounds through the gun over the weekend and brought it home to clean it, looking at the cylinder face I...

    Picked up my new 25-3 Long Colt today.

    Drove 4 hours through the damned rain today to go pick this gun up, yes I was that excited that I drove down to pick the thing up on a weekday rather than wait till the weekend. http://home.bak.rr.com/varmintcong/smith25.html Remember, I live in California so finding deals on S&W revolvers...

    who other than hogue makes decent wood grips for S&W N-frames?

    Looking to spend some money on a set or two of nice wood grips to replace the rather bland S&W factory wood grips on two N-framed Smiths I've got. Hogue's grips don't really do it for me and I'm looking for other options, preferably not one piece designs similar to the Hogue grips I see so...

    Looking for some data on reloading 45LC for 185grain bullets

    will be picking up a 45LongColt S&W N-frame soon and was wondering if anyone could point me to some data for reloading 185grain jacketed hollow points. My Speer book only lists the 200s and on up, I'd like to make a few 185s for the gun as well. With 200s being listed right up around...

    Okay, Smith&Wesson fanatics read this and tell me how I did.

    Bought two guns here in California today, I think I did pretty darned well considering that old N-framed S&W revolvers are going to become RARE! First off, I'm buying old guns because I like the classic blued N-frames. The new stainless guns of S&W really kinda turn my stomach and they just...
