Guys I really appreciate the tips. Thank you-

I have a chance to possibly purchase an 1873 Springfield trapdoor marked 1881. So far I have only been provided one fuzzy picture and it looks to be a carbine. I know that several of these have been cut down or even fake. Everything looks legit from talking to the guy on the phone, but I was...

I dont think 800 is out of line for a 90's Colt DS in truly NIB condition. If you want a shooter, yes, you could find one for considerably cheaper. If you want a NIB example from 90's I think you would be looking for a while to find one a lot cheaper. YMMV

In my not expert opinion, the problem is probably not that big of a deal. That being said, I would recommend Michael Warman, you can find him here: http://dev.olofsonrange.com/?page_id=27 I trusted him with a much older Colt (V-spring), with a much more complicated issue. I spoke with him...

Throwing violent video games under the bus = GOOD MOVE. They deserve to be thrown under the bus, and have an effect on kids whether you think they do or not. Suggesting armed gaurds in every school = GOOD MOVE. One of the best remedies to to horrible problem. Cowards with guns hate brave...

Have to disagree on this one. In a week or two, everyone will still be sold out, because they are so backordered right now. I think that the frenzy will last longer than a week or two. In fact, it it werent for the fact that there will be nothing left (not that theres much left now) in a week...

Sometimes even with the utmost care, stuff happens. I was in a guys shop the other day, and he was showing me his Winchester commemoratives. I was looking at his otherwise near perfect John Wayne, when I noticed a hairline crack that started at the top tang, and traveled through the checkered...

Here's an idea that I dont think has been brought up yet... Have you thought about getting a full or part time job at a gun shop? Pros to doing this: Learn about sales / learn about gun models / learn about people / learn about peak buying times, people's buying patterns, etc / NO capital...

Dont ever blame yourself for "not being there." You WERE there for her by helping her train and be a responsible gun owner/user. I suppose its like raising kids, you wont always be able to be there for them, but if you give them the tools they need to make it in this world, you have done your...

This.

Colt will reintroduce its entire line of double action revolvers, with new models to boot.

Thanks for the input fellas. There is a gentlemen offering Colt parts over on the Colt forum, and I thought it might be a good opportunity to pick up some spares. I ended up buying a hand for one of my revolvers, only because I know the one on it has been stretched already, and the gunsmith...

Interesting. We were taught otherwise in boot camp.

OK, I checked under the lever. Nothing. How does one remove the hand guard on this model?

Or any V-spring Colt for that matter? Which parts are most prone to breakage and wear over time? Parts are getting more and more scarce, and I want to start collecting them while still (somewhat) available.

Yes, I looked it over good, and cant find one. I have not disassembled it yet, but other than that, I dont know what to think. Thats why I was scratching my head. I have ZERO reason to believe it has been removed (I know many will jump to that theory). The finish is identical to other...

Thanks for the help-

The rifling on these can oftentimes be very worn, so that would play a factor. In my area, its hard to find one under the 350/400 mark pricewise. Seems like most are priced in the 4-600 range. Condition is everything on these (as usual). Ive paid 100 for a parts only gun (missing follower...

Congrats to her, and thanks to her for representing the best country on earth!!
