  1. This is one I don't see come up for sale very often. The 45-70 Buffalo Classic, yes but not the 38-55 Target Model. Now these guns were notorious for tight chambers that wouldn't let you hit the same barn door twice at 15 yards. This one wouldn't either because I tried and tried. So I sent the gun off to Lee Shaver Gunsmithing to get the chamber fixed. Now if you don't know who Lee Shaver is, just do a Google Search for him. I think you will be impressed with his credentials.

    So now that the gun would shoot straight it needed a SASS legal sight.  For this I sourced a Smith Enterprise ladder sight that was made to match the machine holes already in the barrel. This gun has the ejector not the extractor for those who might shoot Plainsman with this gun. And the barrel has been floated. 

     

    The gun is in excellent condition and the pictures show it. Priced is $750.00 delivered to your favorite FFL.

    1. The holsters in this photo are sold. The belt is(SOLD) cut on the bias for a lady. Bullet loops were for 32 H&R and shotgun loops were for 20 gauge. Could you make 38s and 12 gauge work? Possibly?But for the price of $35.00 shipped, how could you go wrong? Shotgun belt is 38" to center with 2 holes on either side. SOLD

  3. SOLDI have had this gun for probably 15 years and never shot it. Bought it used with no box or papers. Condition is very good with only a small spot of wear on the left muzzle.

    Do not confuse this with the Cimmaron Thunder.  The Thunder is rated for 357 Magnum but the Lightning is only rated for 38 special. The other difference is the Thunder has a hammer mounted firing pin while the Lightning has a frame mounted firing pin. I am selling a 38 special Cimmaron Lightning.  It will be shipped in a Cimmaron Cattleman box.  Shipping to an FFL only who will accept from an individual for $450.00 shipped.  If it must come from an FFL please add $40.00. Pictures below; SOLD

  4. Sold pending funds. These revolvers are now in Bisley configuration. They stated life as birdshead grips.  Sold those grips to Singin Sue probaly a decade ago so she could go to End of Trail one year.

    Took the Bisley gripframes, grips, hammers and triggers off a pair of Single Six 22's I had and put them on the 32's. So all the parts are original Ruger parts. Now the rest of the story.

     

    The guns are consecutive serial numbers and come with their original Ruger grey boxes. Not sure about all the original paperwork. Caliber 32 H&R, fixed sights and 4 5/8" barrels. These guns were sent to Wes Flowers (West Fargo) for his basic action job, the rear sights were regulated for windage, front sights were not touched and the loading channel was adjusted for easier loading and unloading. Guns are in like new condition with little or no wear. Actions are very smooth. Price is $1550.00 shipped.

  5. This rifle started life as a 24" half round half hex barrel with a magazine that only held 9. With the help of Spur and Cowboy Carty from Illinois it is ready to go to a new cowboy home since I have had to retire from shooting.  This is what we did;

     

    On the outside, shortened the barrel to 20", put a new magazine on so it will hold 10 rounds and added a leather butt wrap & lever wrap.  Inside, we put in a C&I 3rd generation short stroke, Smith Shop lifter springs and an aluminum carrier. Plus all the normal polishing and fussing those 2 great Cowboy Gunsmiths do.

     

    Price $1460.00 shipped if your dealer will accept from and individual or $1500.00 from my FFL. Pictures below.  Let me know if I can answer any questions, don't know that I will be able too, but I will try.

  6. It can help.  But if your grandson is using your gun the main problem might be that it doesn't fit him properly and that can cause him a lot of discomfort.  Like I said it can help but a proper fitting shotgun could help more.  Ask at your club and see if anyone might have a gun with a shorter stock. If they do and he is more comfortable shooting that then adding a recoil reducer and a gun with a shorter stock could be your answer.

     

    I don't think the recoil reducer alone will solve your problem,

     

    Sorry
