Oh my. That is the most elegant "Bubba" job I have ever seen. I can only imagine what other wonders they did to the action. It's so hideous, yet so precisely done. I'd love to hear the story from the person who did this.

FWIW the 195 plus 35 puts it at 230. The local FFL who transfers it for your buyer is going to get another 25 or more out of them. So that puts your prospective buyer out for at lest 255 or more on a gun that can be bought local new for between 250 and 270. FTF deal at your 195 would be...

At night with a handgun that distance - nope. Regular low power scope, not red dot. Light attached. 10/22 rifle and any decent rimfire suppressor. The red dots you cant see through well at night. Lasers when the animal sees that dot, and they will, they will high tail it out of there. Regular...

I handled one today at the NRA annual meeting. Yep, got to buy one now.

Well he did preface he wasn't an experience shooter. I've got one. Got the scope mounted and that is about it. If the weather will hold I'll shoot it tomorrow. Over all I like the fit and finish of it and will report back if we get a chance to shoot it.

Handguard is aluminum. I added a Magpul bipod adapter is all I have done to it. Screws were a little long but that is why the make bench grinders. I ordered some rings and will get a scope (Nikon) mounted as soon as I can. I've had this stashed out to surprise my son. I need to catch a day he...

Mine looks centered

I just picked mine up but haven't had a chance to look at it so close. I'll look and see.

Our range on the farm is perfect for this. I ordered one today and have an extra Nikon P series rimfire 2x7 to put on it for my son. We have a bunch of steel spinners and gongs from 25 to 300 yards. Should be a hoot.

FWIW this one is night and day different than with the later gas operated 1400, totally different animal. The 50 was invented by David Williams (of M1 Carbine fame). It is an inertia / recoil type action with a floating chamber. Really cool design. Neat find. Hang tight for the right buyer, but...

This round from all my research does about all it will do around between 22 and 24 at the most; therefore, I see it as a great round for a sporting rifle and wouldn't shy away from a 20. I've been a 6.5 fan for years and have always had a few Swedes (and still do) in the stable. I've been...

I bought a set of silhouettes before and they are working great! I need a 12" gong please. I'll send you a PM.

Is this the same one as on the Smith and Wesson forum? I sent you a PM over there. What are your trade interests? Please shoot me a PM.

228 never came in nor can it be converted to .357 Sig. Keep your eyes open for any 229 in .40 you can find cheap and the swap to .357 is just a drop in barrel change. Mags are the same.

I'm at my bottom on the A5. If you would like better pictures let me know.
