Model 15 S&W 1958 Model 15, it's not even older than my dad, I feel so young here :o

Probably not worth selling... It won't be worth very much at all, as mentioned you could probably get more from turning it in at a police gun buy back than selling or trading it. However unimpressive it may be ballistically or quality-wise, if properly maintained the Raven actually has a...

It ain't the arrow it's the Indian In high school I went trap shooting with a couple of buddies who both owned their own guns, one a nice 870 and the other something I don't remember (I really didn't know much about makes and models then) that was short but he definitely had practice with it...

Thanks for the advice, I'll take it into the gunsmith tomorrow and see if they can help me out. Should they have a replacement firing pin or would I have to wait for them to order and get one?

I recently did a bit of dry fire and reloading practice with snap caps for my pre-model letter 1958 S&W M15 and afterwards noticed that the tip of the firing pin had broken off :eek: It's too late for me to call S&W tonight, which I will do first thing tomorrow, but I saw on their website...

Not all wheelgun lovers are old fogeys ;) Great purchase, sounds like something I'd do, heh... for my 22nd birthday last year I got myself a 1958 Smith Model 15. Best gun I've ever shot, the single action trigger breaks like glass and you can juuuuust baaarely see it move while it breaks. DA...

Ruger 10/22 for the first gun I ever owned, I got it after study abroad junior year of college in Japan. Great gun, absolutely no regrets about it. Fun as can be and has exploded the head of many a red squirrel. After years of using the trusty pellet gun, I still had a few red squirrels in...

necessity is the mother of invention I like it, put a couple bottles of grain alcohol and a zippo on top and you got yourself a nice little unassuming weapons rack. :evil: :fire:

Never looked at the wording of the state constitution That's pretty good, I like that it says in no uncertain terms that the right to bear arms is there for individuals to protect themselves. Michigan is pretty good as far as firearms regulations go, however, there are some pretty weird laws...

Thanks, I tried to get some pics but they all turned out horribly. So are there any special tips or concerns for it? Any bullet weights or materials that could cause problems? It didn't come with a manual so I'm just putting standard pressure lead .38's through it, although wasn't it 1955 and...

oops It does have a K on the far left by the serial, otherwise it just has "Smith & Wesson" on one side and "38 S&W Special CTG." on the other side of the barrel.

Hey everyone, I got an old Smith Model 15 from On Target in Kalamazoo and couldn't be happier with it. Solid lock-up, sweet trigger, and the thing points and shoots so naturally it's way more accurate than I am. Reading gun forums (THR is the only one I joined) helped me make this decision and...

Socialist Worker? Haha THR probably gave that farce of a review the vast majority of its hits, I wonder how many tens of people are gonna end up seeing that thing...

Oops, it was tagged wrong and is actually a Model 15.

Well, the Astra was looking pretty good and I was gonna go for it, but today I went in again and saw they had a very nice used Smith Model 15. I handled it and I was very impressed. It locked up like a bank, looked great, and was quite affordable, so I think I may go that route even though the...
