I must have had my eyes open this week. On another forum, a member asked about a couple of Herter's .401 PowerMags he'd seen in one of his local guns shops. I e-mailed him and told him if he was not interested in buying the guns, I might be.
Well, he sent me an e-mail and he did not want the guns and he gave me the shop's number. I called. They were still available. The gentleman at the gun shop was great to deal with...he took a few bucks off the deal and ate the shipping!
I was able to use a credit card at no extra charge (not a common occurrence) Included was a bunch of brass ( I do not know if this is converted .41 Mag brass or the original Herter's propitiatory brass).
Also a nice set of .401 PowerMag Dies. Since he got paid on the Visa card, he is going to ship tomorrow.
And to top it all off...when I called our good buddy Mr. Zeus to brag (just a little) he told me he'd take one of these 40-50 year-old flame-throwers off my hands...but I do recall he did equated me to a crack dealer ;D
So in a couple days I'll have these PowerMags as well as the Virginian Dragoon I bought last week. It may be too hot to shoot...but it's never too hot to give new (to me) guns a good cleaning in the cool of the basement.
Pics will be forthcoming.
