burrhead, I think you are right on. I was searching google images forever and was able to figure out everything except that one. Thank you so much for your help.

I am going through some of my step father's estate and could use a hand identifying a trigger guard. I was able to identify most of his inventory, but I am having trouble with this piece. I can't seem to find any identifying marks to help me figure it out. Thanks for the help.

As a resident of Dare County, we are placed under a declared state of emergency more often than most (often several times a year). It was very disconcerting that in the times when I was most likely going to need to defend myself, my right to defend myself was legally handicapped. Thanks, SAF!

Update: After a bit more research, I was able to confirm that it was a 3rd generation SAA. I was able to get $1100 for it. I bought a few shooters including a nice Colt Official Police in .22 with the 4 inch barrel. I appreciate everyone's help and advice.

"One a down side, the magazines do not interchange with the 10/22 rifles." This is simply not true. 10/22 mags (factory or aftermarket) ARE completely interchangeable with the 77/22 lr.

I have a 77/22. It is a fantastic gun. I can assure you that it is available in 22lr. The magazines are completely interchangeable with the 10/22. But I have no idea where you can find one under $300.

Yeah, I had the stock off when I got that image of the underside of the receiver. That was the only stamp I could find anywhere. I couldn't find a "TW" on the stock either. Unfortunately, the only mark on the barrel itself was the hatch mark that aligned the barrel and the receiver. I...

I took it apart and this is all I found. D'oh.

Does this qualify me? And although I am embarrassed to ask, does anyone have any idea what model this is? I inherited it and know embarrassing little about it except that it was built in '53. I do know that it is scary accurate at the range and I used it to take my first deer last year at a...

I visited my mom this weekend and happened upon the original box for the gun. Does anyone know what this does to the value of my gun? Also, I found the box for a Diamondback with a 6 inch barrel, which is the gun that I want. Unfortunately, I didn't know that my stepdad owned one before it...

I appreciate the sentiment, but I inherited plenty of heirloom guns that I actually use AND have sentimental value. Those guns will never leave my hands. Not to get into the whole backstory, but with the number of guns that my stepdad owned, I would be foolish/greedy to treat each one as...

It's a good thing that I don't have the owner's manual anymore.:neener: Anyone have any ideas on a place to double check my LGS on the appraisal value?

Thanks everyone for the feedback. highpower, I completely agree that guns should be shot. This one just isn't quite as fun as some of my others and gets left behind far too often. I also have a number of guns on my wish list. I think that I (and my son when he gets a few years older) would...

My stepdad primarily collected guns as investments and this one doesn't have any particular sentimental value. I'm sure that he would much rather me trade it in on something that I use than hide it away in my safe. I inherited a number of other guns that mean a lot more to me.

As promised, here are a few photos.

I inherited a Colt SAA in .44 Special that I am trying to value for a trade. (I shoot all of my other guns and I don't believe in safe queens.) The serial number reads SA203xx, but that doesn't seem to match the naming convention. It is my understanding that first generation guns have a...

^^^^ That's a better option than the foam plugs that were being discussed. It won't give you that second of time back, but at least they won't be hindering your hearing when you most need it.

I'll have to agree that your priorities seem a bit skewed. That extra second that it takes you to don your earplugs could prove to be THE critical second. Additionally for me, the importance of hearing the BG outweighs the minimal long-term risk to your hearing from a single noise incident...
