Nice new gats everyone - well done indeed.

Here's one I bought from a friend yesterday, forgive the bad pics., I don't seem to be able to find good light this evening.

It's the 'Lightweight' model and that rear sight has GOT TO GO!


Hat Tip to Renault and Landman for the pre-purchase advice.

Very Nice!!!!

Levallois ,,,,nice old Colts!!!

Mike,,,, Nice newer Colt!

Good catches all the way around!!!

 

[DeaconKC]

Those are some very fine Colts gents! Congrats

 

[Landman]

Kirk, great looking revolvers!

Levallois, beautiful old Colts!

Mike, great looking Commander! Everything appears to be all original except for the sights. I don't think that rear sight dovetail has been milled out so it shouldn't be too difficult to put some original sights back on it...if that is what you prefer. Congratulations, that was a great buy.

Nice Colts!!!

No pics, but I just finished assembling my latest. It's a little fun gun a Ruger 10/22 International. I found a very nice stock on eBay, the purchased one of the 50th anniversary receivers, a Tactical Innovations CNC milled trigger housing with a Kidd trigger installed. The bolt is also a Kidd unit. I added a Power Custom extended magazine release( looks sort of like the lever on a Ruger #1 single shot) and topped it off with a Leupold 2x7 Rimfire scope in qd mounts.
Some years back I had a stainless 10/22 and gradually upgraded and transformed it. I found some closeout items at Midway and picked up a 24" stainless sporter conture barrel, a very nice Fajan stock, walnut with shadowline cheekpiece, ebony forend tip, and a checkered steel Nieder style buttlate and grip cap, and inletted sling swivel bases. I had previously did some bolt work smoothing things up and also upgraded the trigger and trigger housing the same as the little international.

As soon as we start to get some consistently cooler daytime temps I am taking them out for a trial run.

This walked in this morning. Should be headed home with me tomorrow. Along with another Model 12 Winchester!


Haven't had opportunity to look up SN yet. May be WWI era! 5" 38 Spl. With jigged bone grips.

 

[pompier]

Outstanding!

:eusa_clap
Dang, I think I need a job in that store. You guys hiring?

 

[rjb1]

Tell us more about the old S&W, including date. Those are my favorite firearms.
My last purchase of one of those was an M&P made in ~1907 (when Teddy Roosevelt was in office).
I especially like the 5 in. ones.

 

[Maltese]

Can you fire the Sw without loosing your hand is it a display piece ?

 

[Renault]

Oh it's a shooter.

rjb1,

It's a 4th variation model 1905, looks like serial number range will fall in the early to mid '20's. Will look it up when I get to work tomorrow.

Pompier! Mon ami! You really don't wanna work where I do! . The new model 12 is 1934 vintage. And it has a useless vintage recoil pad. Usually do not buy guns with pads, but it fits so nice. I'll replace it with a new decellerator pad first chance I get. Now I gotta post a pice of the 12's. I see it and myself chasing pheasants in about 2 weeks!

 

[DeaconKC]

You bet you can shoot those old S&Ws! I have it's cousin, made in 1906, and can still hit bowling pins at 50 yards with it [I have witnesses]. Those grips are magnificent!

 

[Renault]

Yeah Deacon, it was the grips that sold it! I was wanting another .38 Spl as I didn't have one anymore. Used the last one I had as trade bait. It didn't mean a whole lot to me and I knew a nice vintage one would show up someday. It's really gonna look good in a double loop holster when I pack it at the ranch!

Here's some bad phone photos of my old S&W .45...Army Model 1917. I have to use half moon clips to shoot ACP ammo in it.

[Renault]

AF! Those 1917's are fine as well as fun guns!!!!!

Thanks for posting photos!

 

[Kirk H.]

AF, I am with Renault. That Smith & Wesson 1917 is nice. How long have you had it and how does it shoot?
