    Two Colt's just fell into my lap

    When it rains it pours. Got an SF-VI in a horsetrade at the gun range and went over to pick up the box and papers for it Monday morning and the guy (reading my mind like a Gypsy) said, "Hey, look at this...an SF-VI companion piece for that 4" you got from me yesterday in a 2" version". I...

    Colt Bankers Special Authentication

    Final note. The seller released all bidders from their bids and redescribed it based on information received. The guy was a real gentleman about it as I have found most sellers there to be.

    Colt Bankers Special Authentication

    But I saw "Bankers Special" and "Started at $450.00" and my canine chase instinct kicked in. In those situations it is "do", not "think". You can even omit the comma.

    Colt Bankers Special Authentication

    Thank you for your assistance. Based on your information I sent the seller an email asking to be released from my bid. I would have been doing the happy feet dance if I'd won the real thing for $650.

    Colt Bankers Special Authentication

    Thank you both. That sort of confirms my suspicions. Wouldn't mind owing the revolver but not at the price I bid. Hope I can work something out.

    Colt Bankers Special Authentication

    I am bidding on a "Colt Bankers Special .38 Revolver" at gunbroker.com. Here: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=262117630 I was very enthusiastic and put in a very high reserve bid. But at second glance of the write up and pictures I have some questions about its...

    S&W Model 2????

    The "ELG on star in an oval" on the cylinder is a Belgian Liege Proofhouse mark. If it doesn't have any barrel markings or patents it may be a patent infringement Belgian copy of the S&W Model 2 made in the 1860's or 1870's, the manufacturers of which are not well documented. The Liege...

    Caught in a Foreign Country and May Be In Trouble

    Chances are that as a foreigner in a foreign land you will lose in the courts if you get in a physical altercation with a local. That probably doubles with a weapon involved. I'd move back to Alberta or Florida.

    Multiple gun purchases in a single day

    I have bought multiple handguns several times from the same vendor on the same day. The dealer always does the paperwork per the law. I have never had a visit from the ATF. The last time when I bought two Astra revolvers at once I suggested that to save him the paperwork I could come back in...

    Astra NC-6 & K-frame Pachmayr Grips

    MikeWSC. It shoots well enough for my 20/400 eyes. The only ammo I have put through it are several dozen loose 158gr LRN's of various manufacturers I had in a freezer bag. It was comfortable to shoot with the old grips but I think these are going to make it better. I wish I had the eyes and...

    Astra NC-6 & K-frame Pachmayr Grips

    I bought an Astra NC-6 .38 from CAI last year for $159 and just finished upgrading it to a $169 revolver. I bought a set of used Pachmayr K-frame Presentation grips from Speedo66 right here at THR thinking I'd used them on my S&W Model 10 or Model 65. But I'd already bought grips for them...

    Free Rifle

    I picked up a ratty Model 53A about a year and a half ago at a local gun store for $100. It was a tad over-priced I thought since it had some light surface rust and the stock was scratched up. But I knew it'd clean up nice and I always wanted one since my cousin let me shoot his when I was a...

    Your Favorite Gun Noises

    I like the sound of an 8mm Hakim with a 20 round after-market magazine and tossing bullets down range as quick as I can pull the trigger.
