I am always on the lookout for some Pre Lock S&W... I have one in .44 Mag and will likely never let it go.. Looking for a matching .357
Thank you @223 Gunner The welcome party has been interesting but I do like the stories like the one you laid out. Inheriting guns is never the way we want to acquire these family relics but in my situation I love shooting them and remembering my father and grandfather shot these and one day my son and God willing my grandchild will as well. Plus, I think we all love the smell of gunpowder in the morning... smells like victory!!!Me too, I have three nice ones I inherited 8 years ago when my Father passed away. Not a great way to acquire to firearms, but they are great revolvers and of course a great way to remember him and the fun times we had shooting them.
Mine are all 6in barrels and triple T's. Very nice, they sure don't make them like that anymore. With the beautiful deep bluing.
27-2 & 29-2 both with the wood presentation boxes and all that came with them, Dad was somewhat of a hoarder and didn't throw away or get rid of anything that came in the boxes.
So they both have all the tools and all the paperwork including advertisements of the day.
I also have a 17-3 .22, that one has nothing with it.
At the time of his death he was living with his long time girlfriend and her family, and the box to that one was never found.
I did not have a great relationship with Sarah and her family and had limited access to retrieve his firearms and possessions in general.
Anyway welcome to INGO, stick around there is a lot of good information here on the forum, and a great gun loving community.
Interesting analogy... Thanks for sharingThis is how I buy drugs when I go to Indy. Just carry around a big sign that says, "I'm always on the lookout for drugs." Cops can't arrest me, because I'm not explicitly offering to buy drugs, just always on the lookout for them!
Note: the above story is a complete work of fiction. I would obviously never go downtown, for any reason.
Another thing you should know about INGO... Purple text is used to denote sarcasm.Interesting analogy... Thanks for sharing
....don't go to yard sales or auctions much anymore, you rarely see guns or related accessories these days.....Just busting your balls guys. I don't find anything at yards sales nowadays
My girl hits them all the time, I would suggest maybe you get out of Nineveh on occasion.....don't go to yard sales or auctions much anymore, you rarely see guns or related accessories these days.....
