Ruger Wrangler

The S&W-357 Magnum

414085832.jpg


This one shipped from S&W in 1954 to Chicago Sports.
3 1/2" barrel 5-screw. In 1957 S&W started assigning model numbers to their handguns. From 1957 on these were called the Model 27. Longer barrels were available but the longer the barrel the less the current $ value.

Here’s an oddball that’s not likely to make the front page...an old “Benajamin Franklin” 22 caliber air rifle. My uncle found this in a garbage dump in the ‘60s, and made all the missing parts...including swiping a pair of my Grandmother’s suede gloves for the seals. It still works...and still whacks the snot out of a rabbit.

He also brought home an Edison phonograph and restored it, which remains in the family.

Wow. I had a couple of these in the 90's. But in .177.
Confiscated by our Government due the danger they posed to the public ...

:( I suppose the public was spared much mental and physical agony by those two .177's being confiscated. Sorry about that happening in your country. (n)

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned
