Re: 2 Buckeye questions

Gunman, I've always struggled with the idea of traditional collecting because I like to shoot everything I own. Saves a bit of money when you don't care about NIB. I would like to learn more about the 30 carbine options. I have one of those also. I talked with a local Smith today about cutting one o...

Re: 10/22 Custom Shop

Congratulations on your new shooter. I think you will love it. I bought a nib custom shop 10/22 in the lefty version. What an awesome piece. First time out 10 rounds at 25 yards could be covered with a quarter. The left hand magazine is a bit of a pain, but a left hand custom shop at a non custom pr...

The convertible cylinders are clean. I bought them at a shop where they were on consignment so I don't know if they ...

Re: What's your favorite Revolver?

Many years ago I bought a used Bisley 7 1/2 inch in 45 colt. I remember paying $250 for it. I discovered it had been tuned, trigger (2 LBS) throats reamed etc. Its a wonderful shooter. If I do my part it will put 4 of 6 on 12 inch steel at 100 yds. I love this gun and it gets the nod more often than...

Hello from Colorado

New to the forum. My NM blackhawk flock keeps growing so I thought it was time to get some education from the more knowledgeable.
I have read some great threads so far.
Thanks
