Flatgate

Post by gunman42782 »

Just scored today a 1956 unconverted Flatgate. It's in excellent shape, other than the ejector rod housing has some rub marks on it, and a smidgen of holster wear at the muzzle. This is the 3rd one I have owned over the years, always ended up selling them. Think I will keep this one!

That's a good looking Flatgate. I really like them and have a few keepers. Thanks for letting us see and enjoy yours.

Hey Bill, I bet he gave more than $10 and a used bicycle for it! That is a beautiful honest Flatgate and something to be proud of.
Some people sit on $.05 of knowledge like it is the treasure of Egypt. I will teach anyone $.10 worth just to prove a point...
