    Could this be the original box for a Colt 1909 Army?

    My dealer recently offered on Gunsamerica an unfired Colt 1909 Army in .45 LC. It was sold with a box that was unmarked. He asked me to ask you closet Colt collectors on the S&W Forum your opinions regarding the originality of this box to the revolver. Me, I don't know anything more, but I can...

    How much is this Winchester Model 70 worth?

    Yes, Gary. What should be the distance between the trigger and the end of the stock? (Length of pull, right?)

    How much is this Winchester Model 70 worth?

    I saw tonight at a show a Winchester Model 70 in 30-06 with a serial number said to be the very first day of production. It was accompanied by a three page written letter by a man said to be a well-known expert whom I believe was from the State of Texas. The letter described the rifle in great...

    LASIK and VISIX

    The link I posted had some very interesting comments from experts in refractive surgery such as Dick Lindstrom, George Waring and Jack Holliday. The individual comments that have been posted on this forum are anecdoctal. The ophthalmologists' comments are based on their extensive experience in...

    Has anybody tried Ortho-K or CRT contact lenses?

    From the American Academy of Ophthalomolgy: Orthokeratology, also called Ortho-K, precise corneal molding (PCM) or controlled kerato-reformation (CKR) is a non-surgical treatment that uses special contact lenses to reshape the eye's cornea and improve vision in people with myopia and...

    LASIK and VISIX

    I encourage my patients who are considering refractive surgery to visit the website Surgical Eyes. It makes for fascinating (and sometimes painful) reading.

    Best movie as for gunplay, action, and story?

    Boy, I must be living under a rock. I haven't seen any of those movies, so I guess I would want any or all of them on DVD. However, I did like the gun play in Heat and in John Woo's movies such as Face Off and Hard Boiled.

    Wisconsin CCW update

    But Dick, what is there to prevent Doyle from vetoing the bill? After the property tax freeze veto, I can't imagine him ever supporting conservative issues.

    High Standard Supermatic Trophy 103

    I found this info regarding the finish on the Supermatic Trophys: John J. Stimson, Jr. Blued Sun May 4 08:03:30 2003 68.58.70.54 Rick, In the 102-104 series guns the super blue was the Trophy finish and it appears on Supermatic Trophys with the 5.50", 6.75", 7.25", 8.0" and 10.0"...

    High Standard Supermatic Trophy 103

    I paid $450 and $500 for my Series 106 Supermatic Trophy Military pistols, which both are perfect in appearance and without boxes. However, the deep blue finish on this gun is amazing. Much better than a Python or S&W. The only comparable finish I have seen was on a Colt Woodsman Match Target...

    High Standard Supermatic Trophy 103

    I would say the finish is perfect. If it came with a box it would pass for "new in box." My dealer has told me on numerous occasions that the Blue Book values of High Standards are much higher than they should be. However, the Standard Catalog of Firearms also prices this gun quite high. I...
