Re: Hecko En Mexico

Bill had one with a letter of provenance from Pedro de Siesta. Pedro used it to shoot La Cucharacha in his Cantina. Nice looking pistola there and I agree that we need a drool emoji

Re: For Sale Ruger Book

Save one for the Watertender!! The check is in the mail, the dog doesn't bite and I think Radical Rod is the handsomest member of the forum.... Of course I haven't been to the eye doctor lately!!

Re: 1957 4 5/8" Single Six

Sorry that I forgot to mention RC Cola and Moon Pie!! I gave Flattop44 a beautiful double display case in red velvet in 2018 at the Ohio show along with some RC Cola and a Moon Pie.
The only problem was that the display case wasn't a 44... It was a 38DDD and he looked stunning in it!!

Re: 1957 4 5/8" Single Six

I can't even imagine how many marbles I would have to offer for that one! I'd have to include a surf board and a bunch of Beach Boys 45rpm records to even make you feel like it was a legitimate offer. I'd even throw in a set of Mouseketeer ears and an autographed picture of Annette Funicello and Fra...

Re: RUGER Investment Foundry

If I was dealing with watertender it would be 2 moon pies and an RC cola!! [/quote] I'm surprised you didn't ask for a piece of jerky too! Nice snag on that tool though. When you can make certain things in house they can be made just like you need them When I serviced medical, dental and chiropracti...

Re: Barrel bore check tool

Interesting piece. Ruger employed some very good machinists and tool makers. Every time I have bought an old toolbox there are handmade tools in there that were made for specific purposes.
I have things in my toolboxes that will be puzzled over when the next owner has them after I am gone.

Re: 56-5512x

I was going to suggest just what you did to make the grips fit. You have a great working and carry revolver there. Now you need some good leather to carry it in. Simply Rugged makes about the best leather out there and they advertise with the ROCS Digest. A Cattleman or 120 or if you like a flap hol...

Re: Starrett factory caliper with SR logo.

Very interesting. It's a. 050" dial indicator with a. 250" range that could be sent back to Starrett for repair or calibration if needed. I have that model listed in a 1955 Starrett catalog minus the Ruger logo. Unless it was hit with a hammer or crunched in a press or vise it would work f...

Re: 56-5512x

Your Vaquero is beautiful as is. It's used but not abused and is a working man's gun as you said. As long as it hasn't been used to drive wanted poster nails or bust drunks heads like the old cowboy movies or TV shows I think you have a keeper. If it had marble grips JAYDAWG would be interested. I s...
