Pat Riot, SASS #13748 22,594 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Recently I acquired a Colt Detective Special but it had issues, light primer strikes. I got a new main spring for it but the spring didn’t fix the problem so I took it to a gunsmith. Recently I sent my New Vaquero to Ruger for some warranty issues. It would skip a chamber on occasion and it shot the left of POA at 10 yards. I sent it in and after it got to Ruger I decided to call and see if they could make a .45 ACP cylinder for it. I was told “probably not as we aren’t doing elective work right now, only warranty repairs.” Last night I got a call that my Colt is repaired and ready for pick up. $75. Not bad. I will pick it up today and shoot it tomorrow. Should be interesting one handed. Maybe I will invite my son-in-law to go along. Just a few minutes ago I got a call that Ruger can set me up with a .45 ACP cylinder for my New Vaquero for $175. I said “Hell yeah!” When I first called the lady said it should be about $150 dice it was already there for warranty I shouldn’t need to pay return shipping. I figure that if they are going out of the way to help me out why quibble over $25 in shipping? I am so stoked. It’s the little things... 15 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Go West 377 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I bought a Springfield Hellcat this week. Instead of an 11 and 13 round mag, I got two 13 round mags with it (I like it). And when I got home, I realized it came with a Viridian laser. to use or not. Shazam! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. James H. Callahan 1,657 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I found a box of 9mm Hornady XTP HP bullets this morning for $21/100 +10 shipping. Would have stocked up, but they only had 1 box. Got to wondering what else they might have and it looks like I got the last box of 9mm ANYTHING they had. Made me happy!

Forty Rod SASS 3935 7,237 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Got a like new Model 1908 Steyr Mannlicher-Schoenauer carbine yesterday. Didn't get it for a song but I did get it about half of what I was willing to pay....maybe a song and a sandwich as Mom used to say. Today I'm finding out how to get ammo for it...several options worth of info so far. I had my gunsmith take the "claw scope mounts off, but I think I'll have him put them back on and find a scope. I've never used a scope and it might be time I did. Lordy, that's a fine looking little gun. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeaconKC 1,805 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 @Forty Rod SASS 3935 look at one of those 2-2.5x scopes. They are very small and trim, would look really good on that rifle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bad Bascomb, SASS # 47,494 617 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) Our family got together for our belated Christmas dinner and gift exchange. New grand-daughter-in-law, new GREAT grand daughter, everyone well and recovered from covid (hence the postponement) and my kids gave me a Holosun green dot pistol sight. All very satisfying.

Sixgun Seamus 1,731 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Daughter and son in law are youth leaders at their church. They had an overnight youth retreat so we stayed at their house to watch the grandkids. Could have sworn I was the only one in bed when I went to bed. This morning somehow I ended up with a 5yr old grandson, 2yr old granddaughter, toys, extra blankets and pillows and a 50 pound Aussie Shepherd in there with me. Life is good. 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Singin' Sue 71615 713 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I sold a pair of Vaqueros a few years back... Used them 10 years and sold them for what I paid for them! Had an offer on my New Models...wasn't sure I wanted to let them go...but they are heavy for me... I saw a set of Stallions, perfect fit for me...so got on the phone, sold the NM's and bought the Stallions. Happy girl. The best part is... I won one of the NM's...$0 The other I paid $475... I made a whopping $520 gain on the whole deal!! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
