This morning I stopped by my local trading post to pick up a few pair of Carhart jeans. No jeans in my size. They had a nice old Winchester 94 with 26-inch barrel in 38-55. Somebody attempted a rebluing job and failed miserably! It had the Win. logo on the tang, so pre-1940. Ser.# was just over 1 mi...

I'm very comfortable with a pump action shotgun next to my nightstand. I also have my Colt 1911 in the nightstand drawer.
Around here it's critters with 4 legs more that the two-legged type that go bump in the night.

These days a good quality beer in moderation is about it for me! 5 or 6 pints of Guinness is all I need on a weekend evening! When I was younger, I've overindulged quite a bit. Now I'm pushing into my late 50's I'm wiser! I generally stay away from strong drink. Every then and again I'll indulge in ...

The rarity of the pre 64 Winchester these days is one reason I personally shoot the later AE models, along with my 40+ year old Marlins. You just don't see many pre 64 for sale anymore! When you do the prices are crazy! I'll always take out the oldies a few times a year for some fun. Pre WW1 models ...

Wow Six, you're a clairvoyant! After blowing up the engine in my Gremlin drag racing against Miguel Fernandez and his boss souped up Ford pinto! It was quite a blow to my ego throwing a rod in the heat of battle! We were racing for pink slips. After losing I had to give him my favorite piece of ling...

If it's a Winny, it has to have a half cock. Years ago, I had a color cased Winchester 94 in 45 Colt. It had that dang rebounding hammer and the tang safety. I couldn't get used to it and traded it off for something or another. I hope all is well up north! The snow is near gone here on the south end...

Dam Jay you sure sniff out some nice Colt's!
Congratulations!

Winchesters 94 AE post 1982 all steel receivers are good shooters! At least the two that I once owned. I'm sorry Six, but my twin globes are just as important as some rifle's! I much rather have a scratch in a 94 stock than lose lefty in a freak fall! With a rare vintage 86, it's a tossup! I'm seein...

Hey Jay, Thats good work on the Winchester! Remember when nobody wanted them 25 years ago. Now there bringing $750 to $800 in great shape!
Wow that jeweled lifter looks like the hub caps on Sixguns apple green 1972 Coop DeVille!

I stopped by my local shop this afternoon. They had 15 different brands of 308 ammo, along with overpriced 9mm. 500 round boxes of Winchester 22 cal. for $45.00 bucks!! Wow! They had a few nice S&W in stock including a nice 17-4 with I think was a 6-inch barrel for $725.00. I had to walk away wi...

My local shop had a 92 Rossi on the shelf last week. Stainless 92, pre safety in 45 Colt for $750.00! Condition was very good. One year ago, they were in the 400 range. Personally, I'll stick with Winchesters and Marlins. If Rossi 92 are that high, what will a pre safety Marlin or pre 64 Winchester ...

I recently had my first colonoscopy just last week. The fasting really didn't bother me much. Drinking that crappy tasting powdered laxative was gross! I think I drank 5 gallons of water in two days. Afterwords the nurse brought me coffee and an English muffin. The doctor keeps asking me if I want t...

JOG

Very nice find indeed! I have a 66-2 4 inch that made its way into my occasional carry rotation.
Good luck with the S&W.

I've incorporated a potato into my breakfast the last few years.
It sticks to your ribs. Mostly just potato onion and eggs.
Sometimes ham or bacon on a weekend.
Just like grandma use to make!

Welcome to the forum! That's a good looking 94. I found a 1937 model this past summer. Mine is a 32 spl. The following week my shop had a 1941 94 in 30-30. Unfortunately, I had to pay for a S&W I had on a 60-day hold! It still ticks me off that I didn't get the 1941 Winchester. Good luck with th...

The trigger guard looks a little strange to me. I guess it's for us northern boys for shooting with gloves on.
I wish Colt would make a few more of their revolvers in blue.

I occasionally lug my Ruger Flattop Blackhawk in 44 spl. with the Duke holster that El Paso Saddelry made for me a decade ago.
The other Flattop is Ruger's Anniversary

I checked out a new King Cobra last month. I think they wanted $850.00.
It felt pretty good in my hand.
If I didn't see the mint 1967 S&W model 10-5 behind the glass, I probably would have picked up the Colt.

We're getting rain, freezing rain, then snow and back to freezing rain again. Southern costal Maine is a piece of cake compared to OldWin up north. although I'd take that cold weather and fluffy snow over this! Dangerous travel in this weather!

I'm sure you enjoyed yourself, even with the wind!
It's 11 degrees here, the blizzard is beginning.
12 to 20+ inches for my area of costal Maine.
I'm getting the place ready for when we lose electric.
It's almost a guarantee with high winds expected throughout the area!

JOG

Personally, I would send it off to a competent gunsmith to have it straightened out.
A good old 92 deserves to be fixed correctly. Even if it's been re blued.
Good luck with it!

Thank you fellas! JOG, Yes, they are real stags. I have a few nice sets. One more on another 1911, and a nice set on a 1st gen SAA. I looked briefly for some for the Detective Special. Boy! They aren't cheap. Like an idiot, I figured since they were so small, maybe......... :D Scott, Good shooting....

I like your collection of carry hardware! I really like the grips on your Springfield. Are they real horn grips or the plastic imitation grips?

I would have jumped on that Vaquero for the barrel length alone!
The early large frame Vaquero are nice for us guy with X large hands.
I foolishly let a large frame Bisley Vaquero 45 colt go a few years back.
I'm still kicking myself for that! It shot lights out!

Saturday supposed to be a few degrees below zero!
-25 to 35 with the wind chill!
I'm not looking forward to it.

That's a very nice Smith pre-10!
What length barrel is that?

Thank you, gentleman! I seem to be acquiring a few Smith &Wesson's revolvers as of lately. If I had the funds, I could probably buy two vintage Smiths in high condition a week. Since no pre safety Marlins or pre 64 Winchester have been in stock for quite a while! Brutal cold headed this way for ...

Thank you, gentleman! I'm looking forward to many rounds of 38 spl heading down range! I found a new Bianchi #5 bhl snap holster for it. My local gun shop happened to have one in lefty. It will work for my model 66-2 also. Anybody have an opinion on the grip adaptor? Rather than replacing the origin...

Good evening gentleman, I stopped by my local gun shop yesterday afternoon in hopes of finding something made of steel and walnut. The shop had several more S&W revolvers behind the glass! A few nice Smiths that I took a look at. A few beaters that I had no interest in. Then I saw a super nice K...

I would like to respond, but I'm pretty drunk right now! I'm kidding gentleman! As we age, I think quality over quantity is important! In my younger days I drank too much for sure! We live and learn. On the weekends I may have 6 or 8 pints of Guinness. Then I'll go 3 weeks without anything! I don't ...

For the first time in month my local gun shop has a fair amount of ammo in stock!
With the exception of 22 cal. and 38 spl, along with 357.
I was surprised to see 30-30, 45-70,9mm,45acp,45 Colt,223.243,308,30-06.
I didn't see any 35-caliber ether.
Nothing but black rifles and polymer pistols!

I've tried two Colt officers models in the past 20 years. Just too small for me. Then to the Colt Commander steel frame. It was fairly easy to carry. Then I got my hands on a new Colt lightweight Commander! That was it for me. I still rotate with my Sig P228 also. I would like a Colt Commander in 9m...

That's a great story! I've never shot a python before. My preference is a S&W. I could by two Smiths for the price of one Python! When it comes to 1911's, I'm Colt all the way! Years ago, I owned a S&W 1911 Scandium frame commander. I didn't shoot it to well. I didn't like the external extra...
