My correction, I just seen were your Ruger was made in 1960. The 357 Maximum was developed by Remington and Strum&Ruger in 1982 according to a book I have.

This is chambered in the 357 Maximum correct not 357 Magnum.

That's a great find right there, I've only seen a few of those and they weren't for sale. I'm still looking for a 10"Bbl. 44 to replace one I had from awhile back. Enjoy your Ruger and welcome to TN.

What year was this one built.

Nice find, enjoy that COLT.

Sorry double post.

Your welcome sir, enjoy it.

Hey "you're melted brick" went out today by USPS.

I sent you a reply to the PM. you should have it by next weekend, and no it's not a melted brick or anything else you have my word that.

PM me your address and I'll send it out to you, I only have one and you can have it. But once you get it you need to post a pic of it.

You can have mine, I'll never buy or trade for one ever again.

Thanks for the advice, do you remember the size of the pin.

Yeah I have about 8000 loaded and ready to go. I can't wait to run some down it and see how it shoots.

I recently ran across a deal(at least I think so) on a Colt Gold Cup National Match 70 series on another forum that I belong to. I've always wanted one in 70 series and passed on a few due to the price($1200- $2000 plus) this one I got for $850. I checked the serial# on Colts web-site and it showed it was made in 1981. The slide to frame fit is tight with no movement or rattle, has the original box(has seen better days but it is original to the gun) has a collet bushing and it fits tight to the Bbl. front strap has the vertical serrations, original grips. I haven't had time to put some rounds down it yet, but hopefully soon. Here are a few pics.

Post some pics. of the gun with the mag. inserted so we can see what going on. Could be the brand of Mag. or as other's have said it could be the Mag. Release Button, or the Mag Catch.

The sad thing is the day that he shipped it to me I left town to go to work in Evansville IN and won't be back till sometime in November, so I may wrap it up and open it at Christmas lol.

Here are the specs.- 1/4" 1070 Carbon Steel w/ AOL- 14 1/4", Blade is 8 1/2", handle is Cocobolo w/ Red TRU-STONE and White G-10 accents, Guard is the same material as the blade. This is the second knife I had him build and I purchased one of his smaller knives last month that he had listed, I'll post some pics. of all three once I get this one in hand. Thanks for looking.

Here are a couple of pics of a knife that I had him build for me. I got the idea from looking at some Randall Knives and asked him if he could put his spin on a Randall 1-8, and he came through. I can't wait to get this knife in my hands. Thanks again Don and who ever made the Randall style sheath to go along with it.

I can't wait to see the one I had him make for me.

I've shipped a few firearms to Gunsmiths I've always used UPS and have never encountered a person who would refuse to ship them, you have to use a UPS hub that does that not one of their drop off places. As far as using the US POST OFFICE all I can say is I've only shipped my slides that way, I was told the only way you can ship a Fire Arm through the POST OFFICE you had to have an FFL. License. The guns that I shipped to Gunsmiths to have work done on them have always been shipped directly back to me at my home address, you just need to be there or have someone sign for it. The Florida FFL. should give you the info. you need as to how they accept Firearm Shipment's from Individuals.

Thanks I never thought I would be interested in that style but I really like it.

I have a SIG MCX in 300blk, it's their pistol version with a 9"Bbl. and I really like it. This is my first 300blk the only thing I can think of that gets me is the cost of the ammo but I'm going to start reloading my own. Here is a pic, it has the SBS arm brace I'm thinking if doing an SBR with it. I enjoy shooting it and it's fun to shoot. I'm thinking of getting the Geisle Trigger for it also.

Probably some sort of POLICTAL stunt from the anti-gunners. Either way he's a jack ass.

Here's the style I use, I'll have to check on what brand it is but it's comfortable to use. This a 9"Bbl. SIG.MCX in 300AAC.

That's why they are called a hand stop, not a grip
