    Looking for a .22 Kit Gun

    I own or have owned most of those shown so far, with the exception some of the newer fare. I seldom buy current production revolvers and, when I have, I have been invariably disappointed. So I look for gently used vintage ones that are priced right for the quality. For me, it is less about...

    Oregon - It will now be illegal to OWN gun magazines with > 10 capacity.

    It is not the case that it is categorically illegal to own hi-cap mags under Measure 114. Any hi-cap (over 10 rounds) owned prior to implementation of the Measure may be still be owned and used under the following conditions. I quote the Measure in full text: (5) As of the effective date of...

    Leupold M8?

    I have a Leupold fixed 12x 40mm with AO. The SN indicates a DOB of 2004. Friction adjustments at apparently 1/2' MOA. No box. It is not marked M8 (or any other markings designating the model). I remember having an old 4x from the late 60's that was marked M8. We all M8 scopes marked as...

    Ruger LCR .357 Magnum

    Me too. Absolutely I have an LCR in 38. Wish it were in 357, which I have shot and was more impressed with The extra few ounces in weight of the 357 model really makes the difference in both comfort and in accurate shooting over the 38 model

    K/L frame square butt grips

    I have Pach Compacs on my 13-3 RB for use with .357 loads. Available on ebay Pach Presentations (these are the target style) are also ok but not ideal for CC For .38, I have a set of Ahrends Combat w/finger grooves that I rasped down to remove the grooves and to better fit me. If you have...

    NICS Backed Up

    Oregon is one where the State Police are the gatekeepers As of yesterday they were backlogged at about 4000 bgc’s. That results in an estimated 7-8 day wait for the purchaser. So now we have a de facto “waiting period”.

    Big bore fighting revolvers - a picture thread

    That puukko looks like a Jelio. Is it? 5” big bores are just right

    Holster for old Colt

    The El Paso model is quite classy, especially those with pigskin lining and some basketweave tooling. I own three of these and use them for field carry. One potential downside is the exposed trigger. I don't mind it, but others might. You might check out their Threepersons style if you like...

    Holster for old Colt

    Yes, the Police Positive's frame is a tad bit shorter than the Police Positive Special or Detective Special. But I don't think it will make a difference. Likewise, the slight difference in cylinder dimensions shouldn't make a difference either. It might if it were the other way...

    Holster for old Colt

    The PP is a Colt D frame Larger than the SW J frame and smaller that the SW K frame Find a new or used holster that is made specifically for the Colt D frame Since your barrel is cut to 2”, then any holster made for the 2” Detective Special should work ok There are plenty of holsters still...

    Hooray! Old holster for old revolver!

    I checked my 1948 Lawrence catalog for your Model 25. It was a very common holster in that era, retailing for $4.10 at the time. The "Steerhide" designation was stamped on holsters made starting around 1930 and into the 1940's, so yours was made in that era. The "22-32" stands for the model...

    Small Revolvers used as Kit Guns

    Some other additions (consistent with the expanded definition of kit gun): Top is the Ruger New Bearcat in 3", also shown in the original post. Weighs 16 oz. I was quite surprised by this piece. For a fixed sight, short barrel it shoots quite well within its range limitations. It would be...

    Small Revolvers used as Kit Guns

    Your .38 might well suit your purposes for fulfilling the role a Kit Gun, I would never dispute that. Just like my Model 60 with a 3" barrel in .357 with adjustable sights (and a CT laser grip) that I often carry as a "woods gun" might well fulfill the role. That is, if I were to expand its...

    Small Revolvers used as Kit Guns

    Here is a SW 22/32 Kit Gun, Model of 1953 built on the Improved I frame with a coil mainspring. Also shown in a Model 63-0 in stainless. I do not ascribe to the belief that the definition of a Kit Gun is arbitrary or that a Kit Gun can be simply whatever you want it to be. A Kit Gun is a...

    .22 Ammo, Pistol vs. Rifle

    There are Match grade rounds designed for pistol competition. The velocity of these (as stated on the box) is the approximate velocity when shot from a pistol. The velocity (as stated on the box) of most .22 rounds is equivalent to shooting that round from (if I recall correctly) a 24" barrel...

    Uberti bolt retraction problem

    I have a Uberti made (stamped on barrel) American Arms SSA in .45 Colt. This is the Regulator model and is nickel plated and it also has a 45 ACP cylinder. I do not know if there is uniform parts compatibility with the the Regulator and a similar piece made by Uberti for Uberti. The gun locks...

    1929 Colt Detective Special @ LGS

    It's all about condition. In very good to excellent condition, I think the price is more than reasonable. Colt's revolvers made in this era were without equal. Remember, it is all about condition. Don't buy anything used unless it is in at least good condition. As a help in determining...

    Classic looking Snub .22s

    To show the difference between Smith and Wesson I Frames and J Frames: Both of these are 4" but it shouldn't be hard to picture either in a 2" version, which were made in both frame patterns. The blued one is a 22/32 Kit Gun Model of 1955 and I frame. Note the shorter length cylinder. The...

    What caused this damage?

    I see this on rifles from time to time. I cannot image that the stock has been sitting in water. What causes this kind of stock damage?
