I ordered the parts and installed them. It was as easy as you said. Thank you again for the helpful info and pictures! I also took a look at the grips and they are numbers matching, so it appears the revolver is numbers matching minus the screw and plunger/spring that I had to install...

Thank you so much Driftwood. I cannot express enough how helpful all of this is! I ordered the parts you recommended this morning. I will update as I make progress and learn more from S&W when I’m able to call them. Thank you again!

I can’t thank you enough. That is extremely helpful! So this would be an “N” frame, and officially a model 1917, but postwar production? Did they go by any other name I should be aware of? I’m ordering the parts right now. Would these parts have any effect on the “tab” that advances the...

I believe it is, however from what digging I’ve tried to do, it seems to have been manufactured post war (1960 is my best guess based on trying to decide the serial number and the “S” stamped in the butt. But I’m entirely unfamiliar with these. I don’t know what the proper model is called...

hello! I’m wondering if anyone out there has any wisdom they could share about a revolver I just picked up. I have a S&W D.A.45 that I’m trying to gather info on. I know that it is not a war year model, but I don’t know much else about it. It’s serial number range is 210xxx. It also...

Scooer22, Correct, on the marlin it would be a buffer tube in name only. Loonwulf, that’s the one I’m looking at. Good call on the second link, sadly it did not occur to me to look that one up lol. Of course the idea came to me as I was getting ready to purchase the folding variant, midway...

I see that choate makes a collapsible stock for the camp 45. Does anyone know if the stock comes off of the “buffer tube” and what diameter the tube is? Trying to decide between the folder and the collapsible to keep my original pristine, but don’t like the stock it comes with and would prefer...

Anyone out there have any experience with them?* I realize they're two different things, but am trying to decide which would provide me the greatest benefit/enjoyment. Will Parallax be an issue ? Durability? Accuracy and speed of aquisition of targets?* the use will be aside from general...

I believe the lee book (complete reloading guide, or something like that) has loads for 125 plated. If I recall, they use accurate no 7 and/or 9, though I cannot recall how many grains of them. I want to say it is around 7-10, but please do not quote me on that. I don't have it handy and its...

The rifle was fired by the mauser "expert" at a different shop than the one that did the casting etc. He did not examine the brass afterward, and I was unfortunately too dumbfounded that he had dropped a different bolt into it to think to take the brass with me I'm embarrassed to say. The...

So, thank you all for your input and help! I just heard back from the gunsmith, who checked it out by cast etc, and apparently this rifle was teamed out to a (an) 8mmx60, which I Wikipedia'd and its an obscure hunting round popular where military clambering are illegal for civilian use. I...

Awesome. I will pursue further chamber cleaning. They used their ammo, which was old surplus. I purchases some of the same ammo from them a couple weeks ago and had the same problem. I have tried that, plus privi plus wolf all with the same results. If it is a cosmo issue, would it still be...

Hello out there I recently got a Yugo m48 8mm master and am having some trouble. I cannot quite close the bolt on a shell. It comes within a mm or so it seems from being able to chamber and close the bolt downward but just won't quite make it. I took it to a local shop, they tell me it is...

Lowcountry area?

Hello out there, I am wondering if anyone out there could help me with some info on an Ithaca 1911. I have a friend who has asked me if I could find any info about an Ithaca 1911. The only info I have is what they thought was a serial number of n??96089. I don't know if this is a serial number...
