I am loving this thread! Gorgeous guns folks.
1928 New Service Target. My Grandfather ordered this gun new in 1928
Police Positive rebarreled with a Bankers Special barrel
Pre model 36 chiefs special Smith from about 1957. This is like the one that Henry Hill beats the piss out of his girlfriends neighbor with in Goodfellas
Smith & Wesson DA Frontier .44-40 and a cut down 3rd model .38
I'm a S&W guy myself but that is way cool. Must be fairly rare I would guess. Are those Ropers?
Nickel 1892 Colt
Hi
I've personally never thought about getting a Nickel revolver. Is it worth the effort? I like my firearms Parkerized or at least blued. Of course I may be jaded by the fact that most of the nickel revolvers I've seen weren't in the best of shape.

I posted in this thread a couple weeks ago about getting a 1942 Remington 513T from the CMP that had a radically shaved comb on the buttstock. The buttstock looked more like a tail fin from a 1957 DeSoto. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/show...s-your-Guns!&p=1354141&viewfull=1#post1354141
I ordered a stock from Numrich / Gun Parts Corp and received a nice ex-military example with Letterkenney Army Depot markings as well as a small white-painted rack number "1" on the left side of the stock. The stock has some dents and dings (I like to call them character marks) but nothing major. Here are a couple shots of the re-stocked rifle.
Is that an L.C.Smith ?
