Pretty good info on bore treatments by manufacturers in this Faxon interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2X1iaQbjg8

Mine did -- I had a 686 with a rounded butt that could swap grips with the 629. I tried a number of different grip shapes. This photo shows my state of play back in 2018 before going all-Pachmayr:

Not intending to be pedantic, but I believe their Signature line is limited to autoloading pistols. If you're trying to find a set of these Pachmayrs for a revolver, the keyword to search for is Presentation. I get these two product lines reversed all the time and always have to doublecheck...

First question: is it hard for you to close the bare bolt, that is to say, with the striker mechanism removed?

I'm going to be sensible and let this one pass, but for those wanting an affordable double rifle who don't haunt Simpson's website this is a rare offering. In the double rifle world $2K is chump change -- it will probably be gone in no time! BTW, I believe this model is less than 10 years old...

Beautiful! Loving those grips.

Excellent choice, and my current nightstand gun.

You can get one now through MGM if you pony up. I've had them do two Encore barrels for me and they were definitely worth the price, which is less than you might think. I just ran their "build a barrel" app for a 17" stainless barrel in .30 Carbine and it came to $475...

FWIW, my main takeaway from the article was the importance of storing loaded ammo and bulk propellant and primers at moderate temperatures.

In my own case, Drac's vid lead me to buy and read the book: Willis "Ching" Lee was one heck of a rifle marksman, acting as an ad-hoc counter-sniper in the 1914 Veracruz incident and winning medals in multiple shooting disciplines at the 1920 Olympics.

Coming late to this thread, so please ignore any repeated advice: After a good oiling with something non-gunking like Balistol or G96, consider keeping the guns inside Bore Stores-type silicone-impregnated fleece cases. They aren't really an 'archival' rust-preventative, but they'll provide a...

I can't explain why anyone would want anything. I'm not even sure I know why I want some things. And wanting vs. being able to afford is a whole 'nother question. What I can give you is a clearer idea of why a Purdy double costs so much, by watching this video series showing the steps...

I had never considered the connection between solvents remaining in propellants and dud primers until reading this interesting article this morning: https://smallarmsreview.com/why-some-cartridges-seem-to-last-forever-and-some-are-duds-in-10-years-or-less/ I never noticed that Seal, Case Vent...

I've been seduced by the Howell/Pietta conversion marriage, though I use their .45 ACP cylinders counterbored to also accept .45 Auto Rim. For some reason these two revolvers have proven more accurate than they have any right to be.

One of my very first new rifle purchases in 1983 was an H&R Topper in .357 Magnum. It was wicked fun, and more accurate than I anticipated. I had a very compact Burris fixed-power scope mounted on it. Traded it off later for something with more daka, but then about a decade later I purchased...

You can go a bit that way if you want -- this accessorized BLR was featured on one of Tom Selleck's Jesse Stone TV movies:

The smaller plastic drywall inserts work well as cheap .22 rimfire snap caps.

Tark's parcels are indeed something to look forward to! BTW, while supplies in the USA are unobtanium right now, the Swiss still manufacture GP11 ammo for subsidized shooting competitions and domestic use. Maybe one of these days we'll see a little on the US surplus market, but don't hold your...
