When it rains it pours. Got an SF-VI in a horsetrade at the gun range and went over to pick up the box and papers for it Monday morning and the guy (reading my mind like a Gypsy) said, "Hey, look at this...an SF-VI companion piece for that 4" you got from me yesterday in a 2" version". I...
Final note. The seller released all bidders from their bids and redescribed it based on information received. The guy was a real gentleman about it as I have found most sellers there to be.
But I saw "Bankers Special" and "Started at $450.00" and my canine chase instinct kicked in. In those situations it is "do", not "think". You can even omit the comma.
Thank you for your assistance. Based on your information I sent the seller an email asking to be released from my bid. I would have been doing the happy feet dance if I'd won the real thing for $650.
I am bidding on a "Colt Bankers Special .38 Revolver" at gunbroker.com. Here: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=262117630
I was very enthusiastic and put in a very high reserve bid. But at second glance of the write up and pictures I have some questions about its...
The "ELG on star in an oval" on the cylinder is a Belgian Liege Proofhouse mark. If it doesn't have any barrel markings or patents it may be a patent infringement Belgian copy of the S&W Model 2 made in the 1860's or 1870's, the manufacturers of which are not well documented. The Liege...
Chances are that as a foreigner in a foreign land you will lose in the courts if you get in a physical altercation with a local. That probably doubles with a weapon involved. I'd move back to Alberta or Florida.
I have bought multiple handguns several times from the same vendor on the same day. The dealer always does the paperwork per the law. I have never had a visit from the ATF. The last time when I bought two Astra revolvers at once I suggested that to save him the paperwork I could come back in...
MikeWSC. It shoots well enough for my 20/400 eyes. The only ammo I have put through it are several dozen loose 158gr LRN's of various manufacturers I had in a freezer bag. It was comfortable to shoot with the old grips but I think these are going to make it better. I wish I had the eyes and...
I bought an Astra NC-6 .38 from CAI last year for $159 and just finished upgrading it to a $169 revolver. I bought a set of used Pachmayr K-frame Presentation grips from Speedo66 right here at THR thinking I'd used them on my S&W Model 10 or Model 65. But I'd already bought grips for them...
I picked up a ratty Model 53A about a year and a half ago at a local gun store for $100. It was a tad over-priced I thought since it had some light surface rust and the stock was scratched up. But I knew it'd clean up nice and I always wanted one since my cousin let me shoot his when I was a...
