I'm so sorry for your loss, you have my sympathies. We had to let our girl go last October.

I doubt it Chris, the Remington he is holding has the 1940 rollmarkings.

OD*

or could that be just a model 8? Immediately apparent in the stills from the video is that the rifle shown is actually not a Model 8 , but a Model 81 “Special Police” with a 15 round magazine. Hamer could not have possibly used a Model 81 in the ambush (production did not begin until 1936). The pre...

Possible that Frank Hamer Jr. could have gotten confused, in an old video he said his dad used this rifle to kill B&C. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x82/cat9x/snapshot20091103105238.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x82/cat9x/policegun.jpg But he couldn't have, the gun in the picture i...

Is that the new cover Jack?

Sorry Jack, I was writing mine as you were posting. Excellent info as always my friend.

Buy the gun, not the story. :wink: The majority of the 755 revolvers issued to the 7th Cavalry where from Lot 5, serial number range 4500-5504, and some came from Lot 6, serial number range 5505-6516. The Colt letter would only tell them that the revolvers were shipped to the US Government Inspector...

The original Brooklyn Special was a Winchester 94 trapper in 30/30, in which Cooper wrote was brought to his shooting ranch to a attend a rifle class he was putting on. The guy was from NY so Cooper coined it the Brooklyn Special. And he referred to Marc Heim's 16-inch iron-sighted lever gun in cal...

Hi Chris! Long time no see, mi amigo!
Doing well thank you, and you and yours?

Put an S&W barrel on it and call it a Smython? A long time ago ,the reverse was done with some frequency (Colt barrel on Smith frame), I think by PPC shooters,I remember reading about it. anybody else remember this? Oh yeah, I remember it, they would also install Python barrels on Rugers, refer...

1997, according to JBledsoe's serial number list.

That's what I was wondering, if I could just shorten the mag tube from the rear. Also, my front sight is the ramp style and wouldn't it be easier to deal with. Don't they just screw on instead of using a dove tail? I am really wanting to try this. kenken I would think that shortening the barrel fro...

thanks for the link. I think that just made up my mind. I'll come up with a barrel. I'd like it to be a 4" but I won't be choosey.

Beautiful carbine Malamute. http://forum.m1911.org/statistic/images/misc/most.gif Last week I picked-up one of the new Winchester 92s, the short rifle version they are calling a "trapper." In all honesty, it doesn't have a bad action, I've given thought to doing to it the same as you have,...

OD*

Aren't you going to say how you did that? Hmmm? I would think that a pipe cutter to mark a good starting ring around the barrel at the cut point, followed by a hack saw and then finish by cutting a new crown (brownell's tool) - cut magazine to match - relocate the barrel band - dt the hole for the ...

Thanks OD, that's good to know. I passed on a Diamondback that was badly out of time, thinking it woudln't be likely I could get it back running easliy.

So, do we date our Winchesters by the Polishing Room records, which as has mentioned, the receivers can set for months or even years in their respective parts bin, or by the actual shipping records?

OD*

"Next to nothing" sounds like a good price. Be advised, it's hard to get Colts timed. I have heard rumours that the factory doesn't even work on them any longer, and parts are very hard or impossible to get. Even good Smith gunsmiths generally won't work on Colt DA's, they are very fussy ...

Hi Scott. :D No ghost, trying to wean myself from the demon box a little and get back to reading actual books you can touch and smell. :wink: I was told about this pistol via this post, fella thought I might be interested. Yeah, I think the mis-strike will help the price move upward, I've never seen...

OD*

Nicely done, Joe.

OD*

Is the rear sight on backwards? I thought those index marks should be on the same side as each other. Scott The sight itself is mounted correctly, but you are right, the index marks should be on the same side as each other, it's the indexing mark on the slide that was stamped on the wrong side of t...

Any idea what happened to Tom Horns '94?

The last I heard it was in the possession of Frank and Charlie Irwin's heirs, but that was several years ago now.

Thank you for the kind words Hobie, but I'm no expert, just a fan. The only guns they know of for certain Tom used was the 1894 Winchester serial # 82,667 in 30WCF taken from him at the time of his arrest and the Colt SAA he had on him. He also tried to use a Fabrique Nationale manufactured, semi-au...

I saw the number 84 some where in all my looking but it seems like that's what is available in hardback new from the publisher. I like 'em all but "Last of the Breed" was the best, IMHO.

He has 89 novels, there were additional books in the series.

IIRC, there were over 100 (maybe way over) in the Bantam Book Collection, I think I have 100.

I still like my Colt's too.

With a lot of help from John at http://www.proload.com/ and Les himself, I had Baer Custom build a National Match Hardball to look very similar to a Colt.

Looks as though it is in the top picture, it should be, if it's a '56.

Thanks OD, would a 1956 model be late style? You're welcome Sir. Ah yeah, you did say '56. I believe that would take the flat checkered steel buttplates to be 100% authentic. Unless you are planning to do a restoration, I agree with Griff, which ever-one YOU like the best is the one you should go w...

Fun project, congrats.

You may find the correct style buttplate here;

I believe that there is sometimes a wide discrepancy between mfg date of the receiver (determined by serial number) and the firearm's production date. We've discussed some rather notable examples but I think that was on the old forum as I can't find those discussions here. That the .32 Special was ...
