Hope this might help another "Garage Gunsmith" with this issue....I rebarreled my 5.5" NM Vaquero to 4.62"......Needed to modify the ejector rod housing so the attachment holes lined up. Made a jig for the lathe to accomplish it. Too many pictures and words for here. I penned a quick article...

Is this rifle still for sale? I'm interested. Oops! Just saw SPF Well, if that goes sideways...I'm interested!

I would trade the entire gun or simply buy a case colored 38/357....If I could find one. They only manufactured the "case colored" version a very short time. Seems the case would wear off or some other issue. I have a 38/357 and a 45LC in this version. If I can't find a cylinder and barrel...

I'm in dire need of a 38/357 Cylinder and barrel for a Ruger New Model Vaquero. Must be blued. Prefer 4.75" barrel but will consider 5.5" My grand-daughter is starting to shoot Cowboy Action and I have two case colored Ruger revolvers. One in 45 and the other in 38/357. Want to convert the 45...

I believe this is from a stainless steek "K" frame, 6 shot, 38Special (not 357!) 1.442" in diameter The photograph looks like it is heavily scratched. It does not look like that in real life. Very minor surface scratches. $75.00 includes shipping to lower 48 (no Canada or out of USA)...

David, You're more than welcome!

Now this is just too cool........To find this thread from back in 2009! I now own #86 Bill Jordan 32H&R Mag. I just bought it from the original poster and was doing a quick Google search to see what I could find out about its history. This tread sums it up! David is a good friend and knew...

This is a no brainer...........Unless you have ever held, operated and fired a Sig 210, you have zero reference for what is the best 9mm handgun. I had one and sold it for WAY more than I paid to someone that simply had to have one here in Massachusetts where they are simply impossible to buy...

It always interests me that only Ruger collectors like these factory blueing mistakes that make a super handgun look like a Mattel Toy....I mean no disrespect, to each his own......... But I guess it is catching on. Charter Arms is now offering it as an option....

When I was younger and started collecting Rugers, I used to think the Plum was special and collectable. Now I really don't like it. It's a mistake, a problem, something that shouldn't leave a factory. A wart on the face of a beautiful woman............ I have a couple of Rugers (a rifle and a...

I just found this with a Google search.... (Auction Arms web site) Seller's Description: INTRODUCTION: I have a collection of nine Rohm model 63's. Each one will appear in a separate auction listing on this auction site until sold. Two in .32 caliber, one in .22 caliber and six in .38...
