    Pretty Neat Pre-64 M70 Find

    I thought it might be one of Al Biesen’s. And it what universe would this be confused with a “club”?

    M77 Rifle info--UPDATE Rifle now in hand!

    It's always nice to have a period-correct scope. It is amusing to see a 40 year old rifle with a pic rail and matte black 30 mm optic with 3 turrets.

    Security Six rimfires

    Does anyone have any hard/soft knowledge as to why Ruger never chambered the Security Six in .22 to compete with the S&W 17 and 18? Seems odd especially for a company that only built .22s at first.

    9mm speed six value?

    There’s nothing of note in them anyway.

    Leupold Rings for M77?

    They only have 2 screws per ring, but it seems to work fine with "non magnum" calibers.

    Tempted by a 45acp/45Colt Redhawk

    To me, moon clips for the ACP is a bit of a drawback. They're a pain to deal with, I always booger up one at the range. That's why I love my birdshead.

    PM sent. Thank you

    WTS Leupold VX-3 6.5-20 EFR scope SPF

    This is NIB, mounted once and not even really tightened down. Cant find a mark on it. Target knobs, sun shade, fine duplex reticle. Feel free to ask questions. Now $425 shipped to lower 48. The usual "I'll take it" gets it.

    Vaquero Birdshead question

    Thanks. It was a struggle, way more than a Blackhawk or GP100. But not as much as getting the spring recaptured on the strut

    Vaquero Birdshead question

    I removed the grip/stock panels and captured the mainspring but I can't seem to wiggle that and the strut out. Keep trying, or is separating the two frames necessary? Thanks.

    Ruger offering engraved GP100

    I like that they finally have decently designed wood stocks, but they fit poorly. In several different ways. Are they Altamont, like so many of their grips/stock?

    Vaquero birdshead grip question

    Hondo, I’ll probably do just that. Altamonts have a great tough finish, and I hate to mess with it, but they don’t feel quite right the way they are. And if I screw it up I buy another set. Thanks

    Vaquero birdshead grip question

    I understand that, but they are $130 plus shipping, vs half that or less for others. That's not a buck or 2.

    Vaquero birdshead grip question

    It appears that Eagle makes the slimmest, best fitting stocks for this gun, but is there anyone doing similar work for less money? The Altamonts on mine aren’t thick, necessarily, but they fit the way the cookies fit the creme on an Oreo.
