I hate to stir this hot pot anymore, but if you read further down the Lipsey's page to the "Configurations", you'll see they(Lipsey's) offered the HIGH POLISH BLUE IN A 4 INCH BARREL whereas Ruger offered it in a 4.2 inch barrel. I have NO idea what the gun pictured is, a Ruger-Ruger or a...

What a doggoned gorgeous no.1 rifle! The no, 1 is my all time favorite production rifle and I would be in heaven to own that beautiful baby.

I noticed the other night that there was some paly in the stock in one of my No 1 rifles, a .375 H&H magnum. I bought this rifle a little over a year ago and never noticed this before. I have yet to fire this gun and was planning to do so in the upcoming summer months, getting various ammo...

I got a pair of these you made on my lil Ruger Bearcat Shopkeeper -0 Beautiful! I think it's my favorite grip wood, and who'd a thunk it years ago when all I favored in wood grips was French Walnut and CocoBolo and the like. Really conservative stuff. Then I got introduced to this wild wacky...

gunsbam69 is a gentleman and a topnotch guy to do business with. I was a member of this forum for all of 4 days when I purchased the Bisley model 0472 (.45 Colt w/.acp cylinder xtra) through him. Since then I've purchased at least 5 or 6 more firearms from him and that number would have been...

My answer came in this month's American Rifleman on the very last page. Elmer Keith's Colt SAA in which he shot a whole bunch of .44 special AND .44 Russian. If it was good enough for the master................

Yep, one of those classic 1.8 second happenings that find you completely inert like you're watching a movie. OK, make that like I'M watching a movie. I've got some guns lined up in my library that just are run-offs from the 2 safes, so They're leaning up nicely spaced agains the wal-to-wall...

My dream is to get a nice open-top Colt revolver in .44 Russian. Problem is I have so many dreams It's not so easy getting to all of them!

firecaptain - where do you buy de-sol-vit?

Any problem shooting this in a .44 Special revolver? It seems like there's a lot of space for that bullet to jump from the cylinder into the barrel!

Thanks, guys! I kinda made it sound worse than it really is, just to get the picture across. Actually, about the gunsmiths, I'm thrilled to have found them. All the old guys I used to know are gone - RIP or just retired. LKo and behold I discovered some talented young guys operating out of a...

I just got a new red Pachmyr Decelerator pad on my .375 H&H . I picked it up this afternoon and when I took it out of the case I noticed the pad was "dirty", marked up with garagegunsmith grease and such. OK, so this is nitpicky, but can anyone recommend a way to clean up the pad? I mean, it...

I need some help here, because I definitely do not want to bug this man because he has been nothing but a gentleman and he is a true artist and craftsman, but I don't know when to worry on something or if I'm just being antsy and I SURE don't want to bug this man if I'm just being...

How can you tell the difference between a file meant for wood and one meant for steels?

This is something I mean to do every 6 months and before you know it 17 years have gone by........ Anyway, When you're listing each gun in your inventory, do you insure for the price you paid or the current retail price? What about used guns, especially those that are so old they're not made...
