    Need some direction on an 03-A3

    Found out all the info on another site and also found out that I'm oblivious to stuff hidden in plain sight. The barrel is original with an SC, flaming bomb, dimple "pass" mark, and 1 43 for the date.

    Need some direction on an 03-A3

    Blackfork, My grandfather actually didn't care much about guns, he quit hunting before I was born. We'd go out to the farm and drag some guns with us, but he wasn't a gun nut and saw them specifically as tools and not much else. The stock is broken badly in the inlet and along the back of...

    Need some direction on an 03-A3

    jon1996, I saw those on ebay but my question is, which stock is right? Did this come with a sporterized stock, I'd like to keep it that way, or was did it come with the military wood? I'm completely ignorant on these things and it will be a few days before I can lay my hands on any kind...

    Need some direction on an 03-A3

    I inherited this 03-A3 from my Grandfather and I'm trying to figure out exactly what I have. There are no markings on the barrel and it has 95, 82 on the right side of the bottom of the receiver and 08 on the left side of the bottom of the receiver, all of which are in squares. The...

    Deep-Sixed the Guns off Mexico...

    Just one quck question, Why didn't you ship them or drop them off with someone to hold until you got to your destination and then had them sent to you? I figure shipping on your firearms couldn't have been more that about $200, could have saved yourself some cash and still had your firearms...

    What is the Rolls Royce, money not an issue 9mm ?

    A 210, 226 X-Five or an SV. I shot a prototype SV 1911 that was aluminum framed with tungsten rods driven down through the grip area of the frame. No other gun has ever felt that good to me.

    Scoop on Gemini Customs pistolsmiths?

    Marc got this: From this: I'll never have any idea where he pulled all that from, but I love knowing it's in my safe.

    I think I got back a different gun

    A grand isn't serious money for a gun or even the gunsmithing bill, think about it. You can have two Glocks or for just a little more take an old revolver have it turned into something that's not just an old revolver or a matte black hunk of plastic and steel that's just like every other...

    I think I got back a different gun

    I'm with you XB. If I would have posted up a Freedom Arms revolver or some such, no one would have batted an eye at the price. I've put up pics of my SV, Les Baer and STI's and got no comments on how much they cost. One pic of a revolver that's had some work done it that still doesn't equal...

    I think I got back a different gun

    Living in ultra-humid south Florida a gun needs all the help it can get, especially one that's going to ride next to my sweaty skin all day, not to mention the salt air. Hard chrome is also slicker than bare steel and aids in smoothing moving parts. Plus, I like the way hard chrome looks...

    I think I got back a different gun

    It took Marc about 3 months, but the SHOT show held things up a good bit and there was some delay at the refinisher. The last time I talked to Marc he was very quickly getting a year's worth of backlog because of the SHOT show. If you want in on his services I would give him a call and see...

    I think I got back a different gun

    The trigger guard and the area in front of it has been smoothed and rounded some, it's hard to tell with the hard chrome but there is some difference between it and my 66-1. As far as the price, for the amount of work that went into the gun and the finished product it's entirely worth it. I...

    I think I got back a different gun

    She started life as a S&W 66-2 that looked like this: After Marc Morganti (Gemini Customs) got his hands on it, I ended up with this: Specs: Roundbutted Moonclipped Barrel shortened to 3", crowned and reprofiled Ball detent lock up New customized SDM front sight setup...

    Is it possible to get a shorter barrel on a S&W 66?

    I have a 6" 66-4 at Gemini Customs getting cut down to 3 inches, round butted, action job, converted to moonclips and hard chromed right now. There are several of the big name revolversmiths who are more than happy to whack the end off a barrel, give one a call.

    Stealing Gas.

    Here's a tip for those of you buying a locking gas cap when you lose the key or when the cap breaks and does nothing but spin when you unlock it. Grasp the edges on both sides of the cap, twist the edges away and give a good sharp pull. The cap comes off and you don't need a screwdriver...
