Looks great! Much better than the franenruger I did a few years back. I got the Vaquero off a guy who carried it in Alaska. It showed a lot of wear from that. I got a cast but not drilled brass grip frame and made it fit. Not the prettiest job but it works. For fun used a Bisley trigger with a...

Good suggestions so far. I would check to make sure that the cylinder bolt is falling out of the locking notch when you open the gate. This can be from the spring that contacts the loading gate being slightly out of position.

This is a “grail” gun for me! Hurry and buy it someone before I sell a kidney.

I wanted to, but the price was too high for me to feel good about it so I passed. Congratulations on getting some functional history!

I have one as well. I have hunted with it a few times and shot a couple of rounds of trap and sporting clays. I guess I should have kept it pristine!

The employee discount would have me broke in no time if I had a relative working there. Great products!

Price reduction. $30.00 for either, $50.00 for all items, and that includes shipping.

I have two Alien Gear leather backsides and three shells looking for a new home. 1. large size IWB brown leather slide with a full size 1911 shell mounted. gun was inserted a few times but never worn. $40.00 including shipping. 1 regular size IWB brown leather slide with a SR shell mounted. No...

The .357 is a good choice. My first gun was a Blackhawk in .357 with the extra 9mm cylinder and I still have it. I would replace it if I lost it too! This would be my first choice for a .357, unless it was for concealed carry, but then I would not be looking for a .357.

Great gun with sentimental value!

I will try to look them up. Thanks!

I have an older tang safety International bolt action. I fell in love with it the first time I handled it in a pawn shop many years ago. I don’t love the caliber though (.308) and have thought about getting it rebarreled to another caliber. Anyone have a good, but not too expensive smith to...

Red Label is a Ruger shotgun. It is an over/under style. Gold Label is a double barrel, no longer made, sadly.

I am also on the hunt for a 97 in .357. I got an 83 in .454 this year, finally after years of wanting one. Now I want a 97 to round out the collection.
