Haven’t made the rounds in a while so I went by the pawn shop and LGS today. Well no joy at the pawn shop. However at the LGS I scored. They didn’t even have it in the case yet. Looks to be not fired no more than a few cylinders. Everything checked out great on it. I asked how much to make...

Found this when making the gun store/pawn shop rounds a couple weeks ago. Couldn't post sooner, house was in disarray from new carpet install. No box papers or tools. It had a hang tag price of $599. I gave it a good look over and mechanically it was in great shape, looked to only be factory...

Santa Came Early I was hoping for one last S&W prelock for Christmas. I figured my last find was at the gun show a few weeks ago when I scored a NIB M14-4. Anyway, I was out doing errands yesterday, recently retired :) and decided to go by my favorite pawn shop. Well there in the case was this...

It’s been a while since I went to the Big Reno Gun Show. This time I went looking for a M14. I found this new in box at a negotiated price of $675. Recently I purchased a used 14-5 LNIB (posted here a while ago), however I didn’t discover, until I was home and was cleaning, that the locking...

I happened onto this by chance. I was not gun shopping, but had taken a friend to the LGS as he was shopping for an AR. While my friend is looking at rifles, the owner (knows I’m a S&W guy) brings out this box with a M14 that was going to be on consignment. Looking it over, it appeared to be...

Finally found a wish list MKII. A friend asked me to take him to Cabela’s to shop for an AR15. I didn’t plan on gun shopping for myself; however I went to the gun library while waiting for him to make a purchase and saw this MKII SS slab side. New in box with all the contents and unfired...

Found this on a recent trip to the LGS. This has been my wish list for a while. A couple years ago I found one just like it and I passed, hoping for a better deal at the time. Big mistake! The asking price was a little bit high, but I made a counter offer of $1050 and the deal was done. I...

Made the pawn shop rounds last week and found a wish list item. Appeared be fired very little. I gave it a checkout and everything was fine except for a bit of hesitation on the very last part of cylinder rotation before engaging the bolt. I knew I could fix that. It came with original...

I went to the Reno Gun Show Friday, haven’t been in a couple years. I was looking for a S&W M25-2. No reasonably priced finds. So I see this M48 in a display. It looks pretty good so I check it out. It’s a no dash. Only test fired and no turn line. The barrel does have a few minor cosmetic...

Well I just bought my first ever 44 SPCL revolvers, both 624. I got the serial numbers from the pawn shop a few days ago and contacted S&W to make sure they were not on the cylinder recall and they were not, so time to shop. This pair was in the local pawn shop until today. I’ve been eyeing...

I got a call from the LGS last week, said he just got a LNIB 15-3. He said it has box, tools, papers and original 1973 sales receipt of $117.99. He said there’s also a Model 28 5 screw no box/papers/tools there at $750. I already have two 3 screw specimens, one LNIB, and so since table saw...

Got a call from the LGS on Wednesday morning, said he just got a like new barely fired 10-5. Told him I’d be there this afternoon. Nothing like a New Year’s Eve purchase to kick off the New Year. So I went and checked it out. Sure enough basically just test fired. Clean and no cosmetic...

S&W K22 5 Screw DOB 1948 6 in BBL No box/papers/tools I hadn’t made my usual rounds in a couple weeks, so last week I went to my favorite LGS. I asked if there were any S&W orphans in need of adoption. He said no, but then he says oh, I do have something you’d probably like. Then he...

I went by the LGS to check on a revolver I had on consignment. Well, new since I was there a week ago was this: Ruger MKII Standard SS taper. Just the gun and two magazines with hang tag of $350. I looked it over and asked if there was any negotiation room. “Well we could do $340”, I said...

It pays to check the pawn shops regularly. I hadn’t been to one of the pawn shops I frequent in a few weeks. The last few weeks have been uneventful. Not so today. Fortunately, I scored this one before it got scooped up. It was just put out in the display within the last few days. I...

I’ve been looking for an easy to pack revolver for ATV riding for a while now. Cleaning the 1911 and magazines after ATVing and getting all the grit out is a pain. I was at the LGS recently and there was a model 60 three inch barrel. I gave it a thorough check out and everything looked...

I haven’t been to a gun show since the madness started a few years ago. I’ve wanted a S&W 25 in LC for some time, so I decided to hit the gun show. I got there early Friday shortly after opening, already way busy; scanned the isles and looked no further, when I saw this beauty for fear it...

This story hasn't received much publicity. It's hard to imagine this happening, in of places my state of Nevada! Absolutely no due process and "First Amendment Zone" :what: BLM snipers prepared to use deadly force for no apparent reason other than being somewhere filming on public land...

I was browsing one of the local gun stores last week and saw this gem in the case. Well as usual I was not able to resist. The price was right at $500. It has the 6 inch barrel. It is only factory test fired. It has box and papers, but not tools. I think the DOB is some time in 1986...

I finally got my steel target stand built. This one is just a prototype made from 2X4s. I have less than $15 invested in materials and the paint was left over from another project. I’ll see how it holds up from bullet spatter. I made the hangers from some 3/8” conveyer belt that my brother...
