I’ll echo good information above. Plastic trigger guard almost melts if strong action solvents are used. Buffers on this model and other similar ones like the 922M HAVE to be replaced but a pretty simple fix on your bench. Instructions easy to find on internet or they usually come with the...

First was Remington 514 given to me in 1957 by my grandfather. Stupidly traded it for partial payment toward a $100 dollar rusty oil- burning 1953 Dodge when 16. But I have its twin today and holding on to it. Longest I've had same gun is pre-34 Smith Kit Gun given to me by grandfather in...

Toys purchased by selling parts of revolver, bamboo fly rod collections, and one piece of mountain land used to camp on now that I'm partially disabled. The rods and mostly pristine Smiths in boxes were purchased for investment and it was time to cash a lot of them in. The '48 used to be Smith...

Agree with the Jeep. Texas Pete here. Tabasco is just dangerous! TP on eggs and macaroni just enough to give good flavor. If I put the same amount of Tabasco, it would fry my guts. Besides, Texas Pete is made rat chere in the Tar Heel State!

THANKS, Hitt! May do that in a day or two. Bo

UPDATE: Well.............. reply from Ruger Service says they won't furnish a part unless I send the OM Blackhawk in for a Conversion. NOPE!! I'll never have it converted. So anyone want to sell or donate a proper Elevator screw to a worthy cause? Otherwise, I'm going to order one soon...

Good advice to watch for. THANKS Wood!

Thanks to all. Contender, I put in a plea with serial number today via email on their web site. So we'll see what they come back with.

Howdy. Was re-visiting an OM Blackhawk 6 1/2" .357 at my mountain cabin this afternoon. Seems last time out it was shooting a bit low so wanted to sand bag it and re-check. Went to adjust the elevator screw in rear sight and................................... GONE!! It was there two weeks...

Becoming partially disabled from spinal cord damage (staph infection), I had to sell both of mine last year. Bad Balance due to paralysis below waist made entry/exit dangerous. Sold quickly Old Town Pathfinder for only $275 because of slight kink in left gunnel. Otherwise was a $450 - 500...

Short answer: Yes. And bought a couple because I had magazines and bought guns to fit them.

I sold a matching pair of SP 101’s with 4.2” barrels purchased in 2016 because rear sight blades were so loose neither would hold zero. Ruger double action rear revolver sights are not what they used to be on the OM Blackhawks

Thanks........... the K. word for camo pattern makes sense. Already nailed one for $380 out the door when it comes. My dealer loves me!! (In fact, he sold me my 2nd Springfield SA-35 on Saturday at dealer cost just to move one.)
