Dang, I paid 300 clams for the sampler platter, so I guess I made out like a bandit. He sold me the pistol & rifle for 200 bucks and I threw him another C-note for the bike coz he needed the funds. Haven't fired the pistola, but I've shot almost a box worth from the little single shot saddle...

Mine is 4.75" tapered brl w/fixed sights & blued. Grooved silver coloured trg, ser # 214-2435X Black, plastic checkered stocks w/silver moniker/byrd/Phoenix rising or whatever that thing is and the same on the bottom of the magazines. Has the same indention on either side to ease in...

Yours is sportin' some fancy stocks compared to my factory plastic. Anywho, I bought the MK2, a M-49 Ithaca & a Fuji collapsible/hinged frame Mnt bike in the deal. A combo platter assortment package. The bike is no lightweight, but it'll fold up so you can throw it in a decent sedan size...

Purchased in '88 for 156 bucks, tax included, a plain Jane 4.75" brl blue M2. Comes like new w/little use, 2 mags, yeller box, all paperwork including the written sales reciept w/serial number, NRA postcard, another postcard and the clear plastic that I guess the pistol was wrapped in while in...

Purchased in '88 for 156 bucks, tax included, a plain Jane 4.75" brl blue M2. Comes like new w/little use, 2 mags, yeller box, all paperwork including the sales reciept. Also a cheap, plastic, foam lined gun box and what appears to be about 100 rnds of ammo. I don't have a clue what these go...

Of course, the joke is that there are no Rugers in 44spl listed, so they must be worthless. Most folks that bought a Ruger in 44spl are probably happy campers and there aren't a whole lot of used ones on the open market at this time. They list buy prices for CA, Taurus & S&W 44spl & they will...

This breaking news just came across the wire: No value whatsoever for used Rugers in 44spl... http://www.budsbuysguns.com/catalog/ind ... /21_49_118 According to reliable sources @ Bud's, "We don't list 'em, we ain't heard of 'em, so we ain't buyin' 'em..." As this story develops tune in...

I kinda figure that model might pop up in the catalog again; somewhere down the road. That tends to take the starch out the used, "rare" market prices...

The 41/210 clearly trumps the 357/158 though obviously there wasn't enough differences between it and the 44/240. Once again the bigger is better mentality comes out as the populace winner. I think a 41 mag carbine would be a sweet shooter. Although I'm not a huge fan of magnum handguns if I...

Looks handy to tote...

GA gives you an option in 210 gn of almost 300 'lbs of muzzle energy or over 800'lbs. I don't understand , especially w/larger caliber, traditional handgun rnds, that it's a choice of vaquero or light speed w/nuttin' in between. 44spl-200gn/750'ps or 200gn/850'ps. Why have two anemic 44spl...

Maybe you need to invest in a pair of overalls. My Old CA, 3" tapered brl, .44 Bulldog disapears in my front pocket. Speakin' of double tap; a bottom feeder slips right in a front or back pocket and a spare magazine rides in the bib 'round the clock. Leaves me room for totin' a scattergun...

"...that could handle the Ruger/Thompson Center only 45 colt loads..." That's understandable and w/case capacity the 45 Colt, as well as others, compliments hot loads and reloaders by offering a wide range from mild to wild. In the same vein, on the other end of the spectrum, this is what...

"...could offer "made to order" guns..." As time goes by that could become more of a reality. I'm guessing that they have a fair idea of how many guns they need to sell in order to turn enough profit. It's faster/more cost effective to do larger runs of the same. Guesstamating again I'd...

Some folks have deeper pockets. I'll find room for the extra length. Some folks love the ole 1 7/8" detective spl & mo' power to 'em...
