Congratulations to the youngun! He skunked me this year.

Oldncrusty

Excellent! I need one.

Oldncrusty

Awesome reading. Thanks!

Happy ammo to you to!

I'm hopeful that Ruger/Marlin will turn out a nice levergun in this caliber.

Amen to both. Brought home 150 rds of .327 Fed 85gr SP today for .80 per round so I do have some brass now.

Oldncrusty

I can find about any standard ammo, but like Blaine said, its 50-100 percent more than say 2019. I dont expect it to come down ever simply because of hyperinflation.

Oldncrusty

Cool story. Reminded me that my New Year's resolution is to own a Colt SAA this year.

Oldncrusty

I also had one of those 8-shot SP101s in .22LR. I think I traded it to Blaine.. It was a great little shooter but too heavy to tote for long. Ended up finding a 317 Smith that is much lighter. Not nearly as accurate, though. The 327 is a great little gun. Can shoot 327, 32S & 32L, and .32 ACP i...

Oldncrusty

Nice pair!

Oldncrusty

Ooh yea. My first choice was a single action, but I decided I should take the first one I could get.

Oldncrusty

This one has been back to the factory once also for some timing issues. I'll be shooting mostly H&R Mag in it so the blast shouldn't be as bad.

Oldncrusty

Helluba combination. A nice way to start a new year.

Oldncrusty

About 3 weeks ago I was at a lgs about 40 miles from home for a browse. Before leaving, I reminded the owner that I was still searching for a Ruger revolver in .327. A fellow customer overheard me and volunteered that he had one he was thinking of selling. Turned out, he lived about 4 miles from me....

Oldncrusty

Love it!

Oldncrusty

Congrats on the score. Love them Bowie's even though I have no clue how to fight with one. Midway says they are overdue, but who knows what that means. Glad I snagged mine several years ago.

Thank you sir for the heads up. Been needing some for quite a while for my Rem. 12CS. Love those 1890's too.

Oldncrusty

I had peach pie a la mode after dinner yesterday. And a sliver after breakfast today. Dont know if that counts. Cushaw pie in the oven.

Oldncrusty

WOW is right! Christmas dont get much better than that.

Oldncrusty

Nice one. Still kicking myself for trading away my 28 ga Skeet ,

Oldncrusty

Thank you sir. Wishing you safe travels to and from the hills.

Oldncrusty

A good watch. Thanks!

Oldncrusty

AWESOME.

Oldncrusty

Nice job for a pocket pea shooter.

Oldncrusty

Impatiently waiting to see the finished project.

Mine's an SRC.

I was hoping for an SRC, but this one happened by first. Still carries wonderfully. Balances just behind rear sight.

Thats a great pic. Looks like someone took a little nap, but never woke up. Thanks for the good advice.

Oldncrusty

Had a blast packin some old iron this season. Let a little six point pass by to grow up, but he must have ratted me out. Its blackpowder season now, but all I have is smokeless.

Oldncrusty

Nice pick up. I need a couple more myself.

Oldncrusty

Another Model 12 lover. My favorite pump shotgun. Also inherited from my grandfather a 1928 nickel steel model in 12ga. But grandpa bought it in 1940 with money made playing the fiddle for the local square dance. Other Winchester pumps include a 1912 numbered 16 guage, and a Model 1893 from the firs...

Depending on how much material needs to be removed, I would start with either a smooth file for shaping, or some sandpaper, say 180-220 grit, on a stick if you dont need much taken off. A Scotch brite pad in the finest grade, the gray ones, should bring the polish back.

Oldncrusty

Hmmm. I was looking for some testimony too. Glad to here it's great for .38. I grabbed 2 or 3 lbs this summer.

Oldncrusty

Thanks for the tip!

Oldncrusty

Nice shootin. No way I could take one that far without a scope.

Oldncrusty

Just like the one I kept waiting on but never showed

Nice job and nice rifle. Been wantin to customize one of those myself.

Oldncrusty

Dibs on the rags. I need some patches.

Oldncrusty

That's real eye candy for sure. I'm only a couple notches under 60, but got a late start in the blue steel and walnut investment plan.

Oldncrusty

The other issue is, 44 is now a custom shop chambering. By the time you get one, it will be 2 years and between 3k and 3500. These facts are reflected in the prices of 2nd and 3rd gen 44s. I recently bought a new 4.75 SAA. I kind of wanted a 44.....but not that bad. I got another 45. For me, if I w...

Oldncrusty

It's a third gen made in '80....hard to find in that barrel length and finish but.....it's still a third gen.....looks like it's NIB..... I'd say it's top dollar but top dollar don't mean nothing when you want something......as an investment you would have to keep it unfired which means you could l...

Oldncrusty

Trying pics again

Oldncrusty

Saw this in a lgs this week at $2995. I know the buck is worth less every day, but still experienced sticker shock. Just wondering what the real market is bearing these days. I didnt confirm NIB, just assumed.

Oldncrusty

I want it! Dreaming of one similar in 38-40.

Oldncrusty

I had the new Colt King Cobra 3" for a short time last year. Had to trade it in on something I needed worse (an antique Winchester) before I shot it. Sure loved the way it handled though. Hope to get another one.

Oldncrusty

Oooh. Aaaah. Someday maybe.

Oldncrusty

Lovin it! Congrats on the groceries too.

Oldncrusty

Niiiice! Great to see one out and about.

Oldncrusty

Gorgeous huntin rifles there! Great to see antiques still doing their duty. Hoping to draw blood any day now with my '73.

Oldncrusty

Lovin it! I missed this first time around. Glad you did an update.

Oldncrusty

Love it. Need one to keep my 30-30 Texan company.
