Have a OM Single Six that I've asked a buncha questions about on this sight. Fixed sight (was WMR only when sold). Have always shot HIGH w/ WMR and randomly w/ 22lr (6 1/2" barrel). So finally painted the front sight WHITE today, ran a box each of 22LR and WMR through it. Was shooting well w/...

In CA, C&R means nothing unless you are selling a rifle. So even a 1959 or previous pistola will still need FFL. Just letting you know, that you really need to check w/ local gunshops/FFL's and it wouldn't hurt to at least try to read your state gun laws. Good luck, but if in doubt - FFL's...

I guess I was comparing WW CCI mags to WW Federal 9mm... Both $10.50 or thereabouts.... Kind hard to find any other WMR around here... That being said, I love shooting the magnums !!! :)

Ammo is the same price as 9mm. 9mm for me.

Yeah, was a bit hasty there... Comes from working on cars, telescope stuff where you're always hacking and fiddling... :) You folks are the greatest. I got NOS 22mag and 22lr cylinders from members and will try them today. Just was a bit surprised that both of us (myself and my buddy) shot...

SS Old Model, fixed sights. Both I and a friend shooting CCI 22mags at 7 yards. Decent groups, but always 2" HIGHER than the aimpoint. This is the ugly duckling 6 1/2" barrel I got about 3 weeks ago. It's a shooter, and has enough holster wear that it's not a collectable.. :) QUESTION: Was...

I was taking pictures of the thing for RCA and it just looks AWFUL!!! Got a 22lr cylinder coming, and a 22mag cylinder to replace the gross one that came on the gun. Then - more rounds down the pipe, without a concern!!! :) It's a shooter, and makes all the other guns it's age worth more...

Thanks - they have it !!! :)

Other than WW - none of the gun stores in Orange, Ca sell the stuff. The WW brand is CCI and great ammo, but $11 for 50 and not in stock very often. The range I went to had a box that was half used and they GAVE me the box!!! :) Out of state sales are okay. Just want a place where I can get...

The pearls are on Dustermans guns... I've got the black "rubber" ones... Gotta take it to a smith. A previous owner must have been a big fan of FANNING!!! Firing pin hits MUSHED the cylinder so two bullets are HARD to put in and shells for them almost IMPOSSIBLE to get out (after shooting)...

Shot 150 mag rounds through it today... Shoots real fine!!! Used a few targets - on one target - put about 75 rounds through it and never went outside the 2" ring (only 7 yards, but still getting used to it). Without a doubt, my most accurate pistol. Guys next to me blasting all over and kept...

I looked all over the cylinder, couldn't find any numbers. Bottom line the grips are in excellent shape, but some fool had been fanning the gun - some dimples where the firing pin hit the cylinder. Plus has wear on one side like it sat metal on metal. But it cleaned up real nice. A little gun...

Thanks for the input. Was kinda wondering about the barrel issue ...... As an aside, hadn't realized how fantastic looking these SS really are until I saw this one for sale. Maybe a smaller handgun than most, but asthetically outstanding. SO, where's Dawson, Iowa? ( I'm a former Hawkeye from...

I don't get the thing until the 30th.... ughh Will give you a call and meet you at Insight once I get it and can free up a coupla hours. Sunday afternoons most likely. Will PM you when available. Can't comment on condition until I get it. Had about 1-2 minutes total to look at it. Rushing...

Perfect - thanks folks!!! And from what I've heard - it's cool, but not worth a LOT - but is 50 years old!!! (Hard to believe). Okay - HOW MUCH IS IT WORTH??? I'm guessing a $300 gun... if a spanking new one is $350... And old, but not rare.... ????
