    Ruger Old army

    I forgot to follow up on this thread. The OA was 5 1/2 inch. I bought it. The 7 1/2 AS is now in the holster. A local fellow really anted the sightless gun...really. So it left. I started thinking about age etc. Have decided to sell some more of my stuff. Have a Ruger O/U that is going. I don't...

    Ruger vs S&W Revolvers

    Had Colts. Triggers were usually pretty good for 3-5000 rounds. Hate working on Colt triggers. S&W truggers were really ggod got 25000 rounds Ruger triggers weren't good till a couple thousand unless you switched springs...but always exceptions I might buy a 4 inch Python price is right

    Ruger vs S&W Revolvers

    Any truly thinking person would know the 45 is better. I have carried 45s since I was 19. I carried my Wilson Combat but lately I don't carry it. There are literally hundreds of people who would love to have one...maybe even finding a way to confiscate a legally carried piece. I still carry a 45...

    Ruger vs S&W Revolvers

    I've never had to send a S&W back to the factory. I've never had to send a Ruger back to the factory. I must say I do prefer Ruger SAs. I also have to say I prefer S&W DAs. I carried way back but carried an N(S) frame . I have Ruger DAs and admit I had quite a few. I only have 2 Ruger DAs now. I...

    How Safe is your Collection

    When I lived on the Eastern Shore I went to a local auction(Crumpton Center of the Universe). Bought one of those Heavy Locking File Cabinet. Took two men and a boy to load it. Put it in my small gun shop on the farm. Unloaded easy with a large tractor and front end loader. It had about 8...

In the bottom of mine I happen to have 500 pounds of lead stored in each. you will not walk the corners of them...

    `Thanks for the comments guys I don't know the length of the bbl. Looked at the gun but don't remember the length...DUH! Seemed shorter to me. I was kinda looking at aa S&W 22 he had too. I have a blue AS with 7 1/2 in. Never shot it. Got plenty of stuff to shoot ...I do have another BP pistol...

    Wash thinking of that. I'm going to sell the 45 and 9mm cylinders anyway. I want to keep the LRcylinder. Just bought a SS missing the LR cylinder. It dropped right in.Shoots as good as I can..or better

    Ruger Old army

    It's nice...fired in the past but not a lot...clean no rust very light thinning of blue on bbl end and front edge of cylinder. Think it had a flap holster too. Don't know the brand of that

    Ruger Old army

    When buying the 4 cylinders the fellow brought out an Old Army in really exc condition. Don't know if he has the box but it has no adj sights like mine. Are they worth more...more rare?? He seemed to think so. He said he'd take 500 for it. Worth that kind of price??

    Well maybe I'll just sell the Wrangler and get the Super. Got the cylinder anyway. It's in a little red bag in a box. Looks new.

    Manual safety on semi auto's or not?

    I must say I do like safeties. Mycarry piece for summer is a Sig. 365. It has no safety and I do not trust it with loaded chamber. But it is a truck/car gun. winter I still carry a 1911...Right now a cheap Rock Island Arms with all the bells and whistles. I used to carry my Wilson Combat or an...

    I just bought a Ruger Mark II target

    The gun is long bbld and Blue Walnut checkered. As far as ammo I use most alli of the bulk stuff. my Smith shoots CCI SV and the Federal bulk stuff well. this ruger likes CCI minimags. I broke out a box of tenex and it shoots them well but with a couple fails to eject...expensive play. The lady...
