oh well did it again

[RED BEAR]

yep went to gun store to pick up a transfer and came home with 4 guns . just couldn't help myself and they saw me comming. got my transfer and gunsmith came out of back and asked if i was the one hat likes the old guns. long story short came out with a sw hand ejector 32 a iver johnson and a us arms 32 top break 3 for 80 dollars all three need a little love. they said it just wouldn't pay to put anything into them as everyone wants the latest plastic fantastic. the sw will cost all of fourteen dollars to fix the iver johnson even less the us arms really might not be worth fixing and end up as parts as i just love the little top break guns. but the sw is worth a good bit more than what i paid for all. has a nice nickle finish with flawless bore good lockupand sw pearl grips ( or pearl like).

[CraigOK]

Sounds like a successful trip

I have 2 of the S&W's , one blue and one still mostly nickel. The nickel one shoots to point of aim with most loads, the blue one not so much, but really fun to blast at the steel in the back yard "gunfighter style" ! You made out great on the Smith alone.

the only problem is i told my better half that i was going to cut back a little on buying and the one i went to pickup i convinced her i bought by mistake. didn't really mean to bid on it. then i came home with 3 more oh well i am glad she is understanding sometimes a deal is just to good to pass up. she told me she has seen some jewelry that was a darn good deal to! not much i can say.

Control, i have control. Is that a __ i want it

[MrWolf]

I just picked up an XDM 10mm and LGS saw me looking around and said he could fit four more on the form if I wanted. He didn't have anything that interested me enough. Yet.

[RED BEAR]

I finally figured out what to do with some old revolvers that I had laying around. Rather than leave them in a drawer or box hidden away I put them in a shadow box and put them on the wall in my reloading area.232062

[RED BEAR]

oh i am not going to cut them up the smith needs a new extractor i would rebuild it and recut it but it is only $14 so i will gust buy one the iver johnson needs a return spring for the trigger at $5 the us arms needs return spring and a barrel not sure i want to invest the $50 to fix it . will depend on getting the remaining nickel off and how well it will buff up for blueing. all in all it will give me something to do for a while.

[MT Gianni]

That hand ejector is gorgeous! You will want to try 2 -2.5 gr Red Dot and the Lee 90 tl swc.

I was going to suggest you tell your wife that you needed some projects, to work on, but that would probably backfire, as my wife would come up with plenty of "projects" that I have put off, for her. LOL Nice pickups there Red Bear.

[osteodoc08]

That’s a nice Smith

[WRideout]

Women just aren't logical like men are. After all, it's really an investment isn't it?

I was referring to the cutting board they are resting on;-)

[RED BEAR]

texas by god sorry sometimes i am just a little slow guess thats part of being an old fart. as far as projects for me there is a growing list. still have two end tables that i have been working on for a year and a half. in winter its to cold to coat them and in summer its to hot in garage. she noticed its never to hot or cold to work on a gun.

[Iowa Fox]

I like you shadow box display elk hunter.

[bob208]

I can not go into gun shops. I hear voices take me home I need a good home. take me take me.

[aap2]

Red: that Smith is a very nice gun; actually the ALL are...I would not hesitate to invest a little money to get them repaired. I have a weakness for old handguns and could NOT have passed on the deal that you got. Well done!

[RED BEAR]

yea i got a thing for old guns myself. even some of the less expensive guns of the day are well ahead of what they call quality today. in my opinion in the last 60 or so years they haven't really made guns better just lighter and cheaper to make.

She's on to you.....haha I have a mahogany church pew to refinish. I told the wife I'd get to it and that she doesn't need me to remind me every two years:-)

[geezer56]

My other half complained about my gun buying habit. I just asked how many shoes she needs. When she predictably spouted off about shoes being cheaper, I asked how many times she ever made a hundred dollars profit on a pair of shoes. No reply yet, she is still trying to get a smart alec reply worked out.

[kbstenberg]

You could also ask.
When was the last time a pair of her shoes filled the freezer!

[mold maker]

It is hopeless to keep trying to ONE UP SWMBO. She has a one-way selective memory that will eventually stop you in your tracks. Just plane uncanny how they already know when you've made, what you consider a successful trip, that involves guns. I usually just hand her the CC, on the way to the safe. The few that I think I've snuck in, become safe queens from the lack of sunlight exposure.

[bob208]

when I buy guns my wife just says adding to my inheritance again ?

[tdoor4570]

I can not go into gun shops. I hear voices take me home I need a good home. take me take me.

I have the same problem with voices, mine seems to be the rifle rack that needs me.

[RED BEAR]

yea i accidentally bought 16 pounds of 868 powder it was a really good deal. now i need a rifle to use it in .it is magnum powder 300 mag ect. i don't have one right now but i already have the powder. i also pick up any and all caliber brass at the range when i have enough of a given caliber for it to make seance to reload well i just have to have a rifle already have the brass.
