    Please help identifying this

    A friend down in Florida (I'm in Indiana) sent me these pictures and asked for my help identifying and estimating what it was worth. I have asked her if there's any identification markings on it and apparently not. Any ideas folks?

    Rifle identification

    I'm always asking for help here but you folks never fail me and I appreciate it. I received an email today from a friend looking for help identifying this rifle. I don't have a clue but I'm betting you guys will know. Thank you.

    Identify markings

    Mission impossible folks. Maybe. I received a text from a friend with these two pictures attached. She asked me if I recognized these markings. I asked her to get me more information and I'll do some research but nothing yet. I know it's a long shot with so little information but it couldn't...

    Magazine subscription

    I'm just venting here so I apologize in advance. I have been a subscriber to many firearm magazines and over the past couple years have scaled back. Aside from The American Rifleman and NAHC (life member on both) I have reduced subscriptions to just one, Shooting Times. I have been a...

    Help with Remington Stock

    I recently aquired 2 Remington rifle stocks. I've identified one of them but this one is eluding me. The recoil pad has Remington on it but there are no other markings. If you need any other pictures or measurements please let me know.

    H&R Top Break

    A friend showed me this revolver this morning with hopes of finding out more about it. It's a Harrington & Richardson in .32 S&W. Any markings about what model are completely gone. Anybody have any info?

    Fixed up my 67

    I just wanted to show off the Model 67 I won on Gunbroker a couple months ago. It's a 1972 vintage Yolo County Sheriff issue. It had it's share of dings and scratches so I decided to polish it. I added the Ahrends Retro Combat grips and here we are. I did do some internal polishing, installed a...

    My 'new' 67

    I just wanted to share my latest Gunbroker find. I was looking for an early S&W 67 just because I wanted a 4" .38 spl. and the 67 was at the top of my list. I didn't mind one that had some battle scars since I enjoy fixing them up. This one is a Yolo County, CA sheriff turn in and I think I...

    Missouri Bullet order

    I just got back from a vacation and it's now time to place an order for more bullets. I did a search for Missouri Bullet's discount code and, understandably, it's not posted in the threads due to abuse by non-members. Obviously I'm a member so can this be PM'ed to me. Thank you.

    S&W 3rd Gen trigger issue

    I believe I've narrowed down an issue with my 4513 TSW but before I tear into it I was hoping for some opinions. When firing SA (trigger cocked) there a very pronounced catchy feeling in the trigger as I pull back through the takeup. Once I reach the point where it's going to fire it's fine. I...

    S&w 669

    I picked up this Gunbroker deal yesterday. The 669 in the middle. The seller had perfect A+ feedback and I think he was conservative on the condition rating. It's nearly like new. It needed a good cleaning which it got this morning. I think it's going to be happy with it's two 3rd gen siblings...

    Ruger SR45 trigger

    I couldn't stop myself from posting this. I feel pretty luck to have found a SR45 for $389.00 after looking for one quite a while but unwilling to pay the inflated prices. I didn't need to check it out at the gun shop because I knew I was going to get it based on my experience with my SR9...

    SR9 and Galloway kits

    Has anyone used the Galloway Smooth It Trigger Kit #4? I have an early SR9 (330 prefix). The trigger really smoothed out after a few hundred rounds then I installed the Ghost Ultimate trigger bar and it helped even more but the trigger is still a little heavier than I'd like at 5.2#. Since I...

    CA and MA compliant

    Living in Florida I don't need to worry about CA and MA compliancy but my curiousity got the best of me. In regards to the S&W Shield I see that S&W has specific models that are CA and MA compliant. I did a comparison of three, my non compliant and the CA and MA models. The only differences I...

    SR1911 Problem

    I took my SR1911 to the range yesterday. It has been perfect since out of the box but not so this time. I was on the second magazine and it just stopped. I dropped the magazine out and was able to get the spent case out. Then the slide locked up. Nothing I did at the range helped so I put it...

    Odd J frame?

    I looked at a S&W J frame at Gander Mountain yesterday. I was a bit confused. The Gander tag showed it as a 642. Many of their tags are marked incorrectly so I took a closer look. The first thing that caught my eye was that it was black like a 442. It also had a full shroud and a heavier, ported...

    S&W 4513 TSW question

    I recently picked up this mint S&W 4513 TSW. Note that it has the 6 round magazine rather than the more common (I think) 7 round. It doesn't look like it's been fired and may not have been when I got it but it has been now. The serial # starts with TDM which seemingly puts the date of...

    4513 grips

    I recently purchased a mint S&W 4513 and love it. It's an older version using the 6-round magazines and the 'cut out' grip frame. I wanted to install Hogue grips on it fully aware I'd have to trim off the cut out area on the frame. No problem. I purchased the grips for a later version (7 round...

    FINALLY! My SR1911

    It's a common post here. WHEN will I find a SR1911. Well, after 7 months and 17 days mine finally made it. It was well worth the wait. The fit and finish defy the price point. I'm in the middle of a major bathroom remodel right now so I figure I was lucky to get a couple hours this morning to...
