Nice TLA Axe. Any range time planned for it this weekend? I'd be hard pressed not to put a few rounds through it right off the bat. -Lee www.singleactions.com |

Even "ragged", it is a nice "old thing".
Prolly won't get along very well amongst your "sets". ...and yes, one is NOT a set.
I'd suggest you not let it be lonely for very long.
I could be wrong and the next post is a stockpile of TLAs.....

The few of who have held this one know for a fact that these pictures don't do it justice...  |

Make you regret? That won't take anything from me. You know exactly what you had..  |

Yes sir I do and I am tickled to help someone else enjoy one of these hard to find old things. |

Good stuff. Amazingly enough (to me at least) is the fact that my first single action revolver was the #5 I bought from Mr. Grover after visiting with him at his place in '93. A most memorable visit to say the least...

Okay Box, now let us hear the rest of that story! Do you still have that #5 and was it in 44Mag?

Wow, something about a No. 5 with ivory. That looks just right, Axe.

FWIW don't let just anybody know that you have a taste for such things... Never know when you will get that call out of the blue saying that one is available and you can have it on a "Good Buddy Deal"  |
