I might have just what you need. It's an original 44 Flattop barrel that's had the front sight modified so it's not good for any collector gun. But as Street said you could have it cut to 4 5/8" and installed by a gunsmith. HH

Well, the biggest problem is there isn't enough control of coyote populations anymore. They banned poisons such as 1080 clear back in the early '70's and since then coyote populations have blossomed almost everywhere. The environmentalists and animal rights advocates got that done through the...

Yeah, that's what you'd like to do, but we're in the city limits of Prescott, and shooting isn't allowed, so if some other neighbor heard/saw it and turned you in, you'd be in trouble with the law. Plus, l don't know if this particular neighbor even has any firearms, a lot of us do, but some...

A neighbor took this picture the other day up on the hill behind us and reminds us of what goes on out there. They think a lion probably killed the pronghorn and the coyote was just trying to get a little of it for breakfast, but don't know for sure. There is a pretty good pack of coyotes...

On 42629 they gave me both the month and year in the letter, so just dig down in that ole' bag of moldy 20's, 50's and 100's ya got stashed in your bank vault of a gun safe and get the letter; gun that rare deserves it. HH

Wow, really nice piece Rod, that makes 5 found so far, the 3 in the book, the one I found earlier this year and posted on the forum, 42629, and now this one; pretty neato magneto. Tommy really wanted the one I found, but I had just found it and really didn't want to part with it, might never...

I haven't seen the movie and don't know if I will or not, as I feel it's more about glamorizing then telling the real story. My reasons for saying this is based on my 33 year career, 1964-97, with the US Forest Service, wherein I did wildland firefighting for 30 years, 1962-92, both during...

Here 'ya are, about as close as my not too good camera can get. HH

Here's 15032 with the photo I have of the number. HH

I found a NM 30 Carbine cylinder that fit my OM Carbine and shot 32-20's in the OM with that setup. Bought a Buckeye thinking I'd put the 32-20 cylinder in the OM, but that cylinder was shorter then the NM 30 Carbine cylinder, so that didn't work. Got a cylinder from Brownell's and had it...

Can you be selective and just give values for O.M.'s and leave the N.M. stuff to those who know them better; if so, I wouldn't mine trying it after all these years of relying on it. HH

After you shoot it long enough you can get really picky on your guns, and go the custom route. I shot CAS for about 15 years, 1997-2012, and started with a set of Colts in 45 Colt, one 2nd gen and the other a 3rd. Decided I wanted to shoot 44 Special and got a set of Colt clones in 44 Special...

Well, I received the gun on Tuesday and I'll tell you, it looks way better then in the pictures posted on Gunbroker; needless to say I was very pleasantly surprised. Seller said it was a good looking piece and it surely is, guess I'll keep it and cherish it as it should be. My heartfelt thanks...

Well, might as well fess up, I'm the new proud owner and your nice and very knowledgeable comments make me feel even better about it. I wasn't going to go any higher and was surprised it didn't go higher; so was wondering if I overpaid a might, done that before. I've had two Bearcats in the...

RR, hope you're out of the hospital soon and back to feeling great. HH
