Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I was "just browsing" (my wife used to say I was "grazing") three weeks ago when I stumbled over an Ithaca Model 37 12 gauge shotgun in amazingly good condition. It's in my gun room as a I sit here pushing these keys. So....... I may have to eat a few meals of crackers and beans, but I got the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 My actual visit to the store was to arrange to ship two rifles to a friend in Texas. At least I only bought one.

Phantom Falcon, SASS # 46139 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 UB, Is Cortez Hardware still on Main Street? I forget the cross street but the store was on the SW corner. That's where I and my friends bought our things when I was in high school. I graduated in 1961 so I imagine things have changed. The only paperwork required was green US dollars and nothing else. If you had money, you walked out with whatever you wanted. PF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they no longer sell firearms. Goods for the Woods from Durango opened a store by Maverick on Broadway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Howdy, I bought one similar but not colt. I did get a rubber grip for it. I didnt get wood grips that nice..... Mine shoots a bit left so I aim a bit right. Gotta git that adjusted some day soon. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 This is the 5th Colt I’ve owned. But I only have 3 now. I have never been disappointed in any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work there and I'm sure Dale has passed on. I'm thinking it was Main & Market. Looking at the map, so many things have changed. We lived on Ash St. I also worked at City Market and it was west of us; now I see it's east of Ash. My memory is from 1961. Where I went to high school is now the jr. high, so I'm told. Across the curve from the Ute Truck Stop, if it's even still there. I don't remember 491 (666 in those days) even being called Broadway. Progress, I guess.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Somebody please tie me to something too heavy to drag. I came a cross a Savage 99 in .300 savage. It has all the desirable stuff, including a fold down mounted tang peep sight on it, and it is in a good, solid 90-95% condition. I have never owned one and only fired about ten rounds through one in. 243 (?) once a half century ago. I need this like I need a raging case of mumps, and never had an urge for one before today.

Alpo Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I'm going to take a wild guess that question was directed to 40 Rod about the Savage 99. Cuz I ain't never heard about any 1911 with a rotary magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
