S&W 642.

Mystery solved: the previous owner cut about an inch off the stock and added a smaller, aftermarket buttplate. :eek: Gorgeous rifle otherwise. I passed.

Has anyone ever seen a flat (shotgun style) ribbed plastic buttplate on a Browning 1885 High Wall? I'm presently looking at one at my LGS. According to the serial number, the rifle is an 1885 High Wall built in 1985 -- the first year of production when Browning changed from the older B-78 to...

Thank you Sam and barnbwt for your insights. BTW, my gunsmith told me Saturday (since I am in the market for an AAC 762 SDN) that, if I pay my tax stamp now, and Congress changes the act between when I pay and when I receive the tax stamp/supressor, I can have my fee repaid to me. I don't know...

Trump's team will do what is best to enrich donald trump and themselves. you guys are waaay, waaaaay down the list. Sorry to inform you.

Nice center punch, just below the outstretched hands holding the gun. I'd likely tunnel on the gun and end up putting a round on the firearm or the firing hand.

Right hand free to draw if you are right-handed. To those who wonder what type of neighborhood you live in to worry about such matters.... I live in one of the lowest-crime sections of the lowest-crime towns in the lowest-crime states in America. I still CCW and leave my right hand free when...

I have been through most all of the above and have developed a preference for American Eagle ammo by Federal. I shoot 45 ACP 230-gr. FMJ and 38 Special 130-gr. FMJ to match the weight of my carry ammo. The 45 is close to my carry ammo velocity as well, while the 38 is just standard pressure (I...

The guy wasn't sleeping -- he was passed out. So, in the parking lot of a public mall, and drugs or alcohol abuse combined with what looks like to me -- a looooongtime gun enthusiast -- to be a handgun -- is some cause for concern. Helicopter? No. SWAT? No. Bust the window, open the door, and...

Narrow. 1911s, j-frames and Remington 700 rifles. And 22LR rifles and pistols. I also have a Browning Hi-Power, and I like Browning High Walls.

A MagPul ASAP single point sling attachment that doesn't fit an A2 buttstock. Back to Midway it goes... :( On the PLUS side... Sweeney's "Gunsmithing the AR-15" Volumes I & II, Kuhnhausen's S&W Revolvers manual, and a $50 gift card to Cabela's (which will be spent on some .30 caliber A-Max...

Bart B, great advice.

Thanks 1st Marine! I have a 700LTR with a Nikon 3.5-14x mil dot on it right now -- it is overkill. I bought it mostly for load development. I like shooting at 6x or 8x, 10x is a bit much -- an IOR 2.5-10x with the MP8 illuminated reticle is calling to me, but it is $1250. I'd like to put that...

Hmmm. I could always just see how it shoots in the factory Accustock, save some money that way. The thing that struck me was the $460 price tag.

That is exactly it, 1stmarine -- including what looks like the factory scope base mounts.
