Sixgun Sheridan Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I have a pointy thing for mine. Had to resist the urge to use it on a few annoying doorbell ringers a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you're getting out your TV repair tools (and your Dremel and your three different sizes of hammers), don't stop with a piddly 357. Convert it all the way up to 44 Mangle-'em. And take out that sissy gas automatic action while you're at it, because you know sooner or later they're going to make automatics illegal. Convert it to a manly-man pump action. If Universal can do it, then by ding-dang Bob can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO , you need a pointy bit , its just part of being prepared and handy as well , ive always had a proper one for every piece in my accumulation , ive parted with many as i parted with the collections but ive retained those for the rifles ive kept , never know when they might be needed again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell ya what, I'll give you $45 for it and you can use that money to buy yourself one without the lug. Adjusted for inflation $45 in 1980 would be $145 today, so I'll go that high. Don't want anyone to think I'm trying to get one over on ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Ron Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Howdy, Rechamber to 357 mag? Hows about 357 MAX? I bet that would be fun. Ive talked to several smths about 357 max lever guns. Very expensive conversion and no promises on reliability. One suggested one of the full rifle cartriges being downsized. Not worth it. No real reason other than having something different. REEEEL different. A single shot might be an idea. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 It’s out for delivery! The bummer was I had to have it shipped to my LGS. My C&R expired two weeks ago and I haven’t gotten it back from BATF yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least you're not in WA state where you would likely have to wait 3-4 weeks waiting for Big Brother to give you permission to pick it up.

As Master Sergeant Hooks told me when I bought a S&W Revolver that I wanted, but I didn't really need, and I wondered if I was foolish."It's your money! You can spend it foolishly any way you want!! The S&W revolver was a K22 Masterpiece. Master Sergeant Hooks was a philosopher. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Reno Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Mine showed at the LGS yesterday and I grabbed it this morning. I put the Visa card on the line at 0637 on Tuesday on one of the few remaining G to VG Winchesters. I've never owned one, never fired one, but the chance that this one was carried by a young man that had anything to do with bringing the war to a close in Europe in 1945 was a strong motivator. The numbers say it was built in '42 and it was in shootable condition right out of the box. No cleaning and no cosmoline anywhere to be seen. A quick review tells me I have a later rear sight but everything else seems to be OK. I'm pretty pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 If I hadn’t bought a replica a few years ago, I’d have picked up one of these. At that time, the “originals” were going for $1500 & up and you had to be pretty savvy to avoid picking one up that was worn out. Congrats to those of you who got one. They are awesome to play with! Hope you possess or can find ammo for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Every time I open this thread, I kick myself for not getting one. On top of that, early this morning (before it got way too hot), I went to an outdoor flea market. Spotted 3 - M1 Carbine mags. They had some light surface rust but overall condition was not too bad. The guy wanted $10 each for them...so it's back to kicking myself again for not picking up the mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
