Why does it have to happen like this?
Out taking care of some errands today and went by the music shop to pick up some necessities for the Martin D-28. Checked a few pawn shops for other left hand guitars and OM Ruger single actions. Promised my wife I wouldn't buy another gun or guitar until AFTER our vacation in October.
Almost never see OM's around here but found a no-rust 5 1/2" .357 early 70's for $355 otd that would be perfect for a conversion to .44spc. I have a nice old Flattop .44 bbl. that I bought 4 or 5 years ago just for this purpose.
Went on down to another music store and saw a drednaught left hand that had a decent sound and would be perfect for hauling back and forth if I decide I want to take a few lessons and can leave the D-28 at home and not bang it around and in and out of bad weather.
Knowing full well both of these finds will be gone when we get back 1st of November
If it weren't for bad luck...........well no, not really. I do have a very nice guitar and several very nice OM's AND we are going to East Tennessee for vacation!!! :lol: (I kinda wanted to go to West Virginia, but wife didn't)
edit: what was I thinking?correction made. Was not a NM cyl, however there was more of a gap behind the cyl than on my other OM .357's. Cyl was tight. Action smooth. No pits, would take a re-blue beautifully.
hmmmmmm......said no to buying guns before vacation....didn't say I wouldn't put one on lay-a-way! :twisted:
