    Made a trade today and this one followed me home. I had a original grip and red ramp front sight for it already. Admittedly Ruger double action triggers are much better than they use to be. I believe I still have a shim kit for a GP100 around as well. Maybe it will stop raining long enough to shoot soon.

    Nice buy. A rosewood insert GP100 was the first centerfire handgun my dad let me shoot when I was a kid. I'll always have a soft spot for it even though I prefer Smiths.

    I prefer Smiths as well, but I am not a fan of the newer ones with the locks. I have owned Ruger off and on thru the years. The SP 101 doesn't work for me but I do like the GP 100s. I also have a blued 2.5" GP100 with the compact grip.

    Almost. At the Greenville Gun Show 1873 trapdoor 45-75. Almost correct, good cartouche, very good bore. Only thing missing, the cleaning rod. Price came down when I put it back on the rack. A nice young man that had been listening over my shoulder said, ya gonna buy it?. Said not sure, why you want it. Oh yes. I stepped aside and let him buy his first antique. I did get very nice holster for the 1858 Remmington.

    Just traded a scope I didn’t need for a maverick 88 shotgun. It’s the 18.5 barrel 5+1
    12 gauge model.
    I now have 2 maverick 88 shotguns. I will be looking for the longer barrel for this one soon.
    What barrel would you be wanting? I have multiple 500/88 barrels.

    I have a stainless one that I took apart to polish the internals and spent a month putting Tung oil on the stock. I also replaced that God awful Buckhorn sight with a peep sight. Fun little score you picked up.

    Gunz are icky.

    Sitting here playing with the new 92. I've just slathered some grease in the rails of the bolt and started cycling the beejabbers out of it. It's slicking up nicely.
    I did order the safety delete button and stainless follower from Steve's Gunz, Will change them out once the parts arrive.
    Reviews are mostly positive on the TuBes. My main worry was it wouldn't cycle .44 Specials. It seems to do great with .44Special snap caps. Haven't tried live rounds yet.
    Nice, handy, little carbine. It makes the Moonpie a happy panda.

    I fired mine recently, cycles and loads 44 special just fine. At 50 the specials shoot high compared to a hand loaded 44 mag 240 xtp.

    Don’t have a chronograph so I can’t say how fast the bullets are flying.

    I also have a stainless Rossi 92 in 357. If I'm not using 158gr 38 special it will sometimes double feed or just toss the next round out with the ejected case. As long as you load your specials a bit long in OAL it should be just fine.

    ….and I can’t even manage to win $1 on a lottery scratch off ticket
    Last week my sister was really down in the dumps so I bought her a scratch ticket as an impromptu present. My memory is terrible. It was my mother who liked scratch tickets; my sis never has. Well, at least Linda Gale appreciated the effort on my part.

    Especially when she scratched the ticket and won $200. :)

    When Daddy was alive every time I would go see them I would take him scratch offs.
    I had seldom won any on them, he usually won on the ones I bought.
    I don't remember the last time I bought one.
