Whoa Nellie! Grail,grail,grail. Gotta go wipe.

I hope to come with my first SAA this year. Also on a tight budget, but I do need to sell some stock. I've been window shopping and this one is about what I will probably end up with. https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/revolvers/colt-revolvers-bisley/1903-lettered-1st-gen-colt-b...

Nice finds. Hope some of your luck rolls my way

Oldncrusty

Glad you brought this back. I need to study.

Did the Marlin Marauder have a "Marauder only" serial number prefix? A few years ago, one was at a local gun shop and the dealers said it was a fake as it did not have the Y,Z, or W prefix. According to him a few others the barrel was cut down to either 16.25" or 16.50", but did...

Oldncrusty

Thanks for the good news. Let's hope they survive.

Oldncrusty

Yep. That's me. Or a taped on cheap flashlight for long guns.

Oldncrusty

I'm drooling just thinking of one. I've got my fingers crossed for you. Some of the 336 Texans from the 80's have 18.5 inch bbls, so barrel length and serial number lookup would be key identifiers.

Oldncrusty

Put some new handles on my .327 SP101. Much, much better.

A new Double Nine? Sign me up.

Thanks for the reminder.

Neato man. You got me thinkin now that I know the safety can be ditched.

Oldncrusty

Should be required reading in all high schools. Read it probably around early 80's. Sure changed my outlook. Along with Orwell.

Oldncrusty

Nice one. I bought a new small frame this week, but I still would prefer an old model.

Oldncrusty

Nice one. That long bbl is kinda scarce on those I think.

Oldncrusty

Nice job! Always wanted to try out a Bulldog.

Oldncrusty

Oldncrusty

Wow. That's a lot of bang for the buck. Nice catch. My '49 model ain't much to look at, but I still enjoy it.

Oldncrusty

Thanks a bunch!

Oldncrusty

Very neat. Thanks a ton for your help. Can I still surmise that the Danish furniture was cobbled on by an importer or such here in the U.S.?

Thanks for the input. Did yours handle +P OK? I'm sure there are "lemons" that slip through the cracks from most companies. I've been reading of quite a few Rugers that have had to be returned for more fitting. Its dang hard to fi nd good help these days. They are not rated for +P or +P+ ...

That's a neat story. I was wondering what the bore dia. was on the 11.7.

That guy is just cool!

Fir sure.

Oldncrusty

Since he was using a standard micrometer, I assumed he was measuring max OD, which would be groove diameter. That's assuming a symmetrical arrangement (even number) of lands and grooves. I am going from memory, but I'm bout 90% sure the dia. was .439.

Oldncrusty

"It will kill". And nice lookin.

Oldncrusty

Betting it's not actually a .44-90, unless somebody reamed out the chamber. The gun appears to likely be a Husqvarna, and the early ones had their actions built by Remington, and then Husqvarna assembled the rest of the guns. I believe that was the first 10,000 actions Sweden purchased? More than l...

Oldncrusty

Vall, my guess would be that it was chambered in .43 Spanish and then reamed to .44-90. Or it could be that the smith who did the chamber cast was unfamiliar with the very long throat in many of the rolling blocks chambered in .43 Spanish. Crusty, have you slugged the bore? If it is .439, you very ...

Thanks folks for your kind assistance!

I picked this up a couple years ago for a song but I still havent been able to figure out what story it's trying to tell me. The barreled action is Remington stamped with no martial markings or foreign proofmarks that I can find. Havent removed the forestock however. AFAIK, the furniture is Danish m...

Oldncrusty

I say nay to a stripping. I prefer that a gun look its age. Other than the belly area of the buttstock, I dont think it looks too bad. But I'm not holding it either. That said, it appears that the red toner or stain that Winchester used in their finishes has leached out of some areas and settled int...

I too am a lightweight compared to the olden days. Still love a good ale in the porter/stout range. I learned how to sip bourbon a few years ago and enjoy tasting my collection. Barrel proofs are my favorites.

Oldncrusty

Great info. Thanks Jack. I mean No.7.

Oldncrusty

Nice keepers. I havent quite accepted it yet, but I should do the same.

I suspected that. Thanks for the help!

I bought one years ago for my son, know here as Y2K, when he was a button. It was his first centerfire handgun, and perfectly sized for him. Now he's 23 and addicted to recoil. Shoots the big stuff. Me, I like the softer-shooting stuff now! :oops: Thanks y'all. Glad to know there at least two out t...

I just discovered these the other day. A Single Six sized Colt clone. Also available in .38 Spl., an .22. Wondering if anyone has seen or handled one of these. Like most guns, no one has them in stock. Thinkin that .38 would be really sweet. https://www.cimarron-firearms.com/model-p-jr-32-20-32-h-an...

Love it. Congrats.

I guess every once in a while Google screws up and lets something good through its filters.

Oldncrusty

Howdy and welcome aboard. Glad to have ya'll.

Oldncrusty

Congrats. I like those too cheap to pass up deals. I'm a sucker for 16s too.

Oldncrusty

Nice ole gun. Thanks for the link. Curious to see if I overpaid for mine.
