What a nice gun, very special. Too rich and too far from me...Sevierville Hope it sells soon!

I think the serial number is 0695

Didn't get a pic but it does have a clear Chrysanthemum mark on the breach of the barrel.

Neighbors son brought this by today. Says his Uncle was in WWII and got this from one of the Pacific Island Campaigns. Has never been looked at by anyone, a wall hanger. Additional markings as in following pictures.: He originally thought it was a type 38 training rifle. I am in no way a collector or expert, however according to Forgotten Weapons video those were either rimfire or chambered for blanks. This has a regular bolt/chamber/rifled barrel. So is it a type 99 in carbine length (39") Any idea what it is or who might be qualified to look at it. His goal is to preserve its collectablity. Wanted to clean it but it is surprisingly clean and told him just to rub it with an oily rag for now. OH, AND LET ME ADD....THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO SERVED AND WHOM NOW SERVE!!!

Oh those are adjustable sights...very nice.

Are you interested in a SW Performance Center MP 9 4.25” PORTED. Is almost new. It is listed here with pic can add a bit of $$ Ed

Box and all that pert stuff that comes with the gun (manual, cleaning kit, grip panels, mag). Ed 916 539-1238 (am in Sevierville, its an old cell number I keep)

Hear ya' all. Possibly the. current prices and availability are the future of the shooting hobby (for the very rich only) Who needs restrictive gun laws with prices like these? Am currently exhausting my reloading supplies and then will ration my remaining loads as if they have to last the rest of my life...possibly so?? The good news is that I am pretty old

Am not really a Ruger revolver fan, but did own a LRCx. Would not worry about the plastic frame. Only thing I didn't like on the LCRx was the trigger which would slap your finger really hard on reset when using +P loads. Recoil usually doesn't bother me, but this actually smacked my trigger finger so hard it hurt. Mind you when I shoot, its usually 100 or so rounds of the good stuff. I sometimes carry my trusty S&W Bodyguard .38 with +P loads. It is much more comfortable to shoot although I think the Ruger was built better (yes I said that). btw, Overall I agree with you. Not only are most revolvers overpriced but many have trigger pull set so hard it makes them hard to love. Didn't use to be that way...but the was it is with Ruger and S&W now a days. Have not tried Taurus revolvers.

I don't mind that they are OOS, its that they keep advertising it in they fliers like it was available.

Not to kidnap your thread, but Natchez wizzes me off. I keep getting catalogs with ammo which is neither available not will ever be at the advertised price again Sorry for rant, just need to vent.

Don't even know if the tests are all that accurate? One friend of mine tested positive and a few days later was negative. Same for his son. Possibly the media is just spinning the tests to show a more sever threat than COVID really is. Then again, they could be right. I am not an expert nor do I play one on YouTube :0

btw, and not related to Buds. Just talked to a manufacture of bullets for reloading. They keep changing their website saying how long the delay will be. It is now up to 8-12 weeks. They already charged my cc and not wanting to pay on something I con't have, phoned and cancelled the order. It was the most rude call with a manufacturer I have ever had. The guy just WANTED to argue. Said I called him a liar and he spoke of peoples mothers. Uncouth! Its someplace in the Bayou country. Wow, can you imagine calling Sig for service and getting that kinda of talk. Whew possibly I will go back to photography

Is it a sign of the times...hope not? That would be a horrible future to look forward to.

Have seen a few YouTube vids on this (so now i am an expert). Seems the dominant opinion is that it probably won't hurt the mag spring or mag housing unless they are poorly made. Yet, most also recommend emptying the magazines so that each gets some empty time. Emptying could be either use at the range or manually unloading and the re-loading them. Personally, I doubt this makes much difference...a good mag should be ok for a year or so. With all that said, I keep my Sig P365 mags loaded a round short of capacity because they are so tight when topped off. But that is just me, Sig hopefully designed them to be reliable when topped off. Almost no one I have heard preaches doom and gloom about leaving mags loaded for a reasonable amount of time (year or so).

Not something that would interest me. Might try a CA revolver sometime, but not in a hard to find on the store shelf caliber. Did I mention not cost effective, imo?

re: Topping off magazine: I too had difficulty with the last round in either the 10 or 12 round mags. Good news is that it gets easier as you use the mags. Don't own a mag loader (except for Glock) and at first felt like it needed one....now not so much

Thanks, my shooting buddy is quite sick after an operation. Would like to find some new shooting buddies. Did idpa but it was a hot day so just left when finished. Will pm after holidays

Proud to have moved from California to Tennessee this year. Yes I am conservative and supported Trump, MAGA! Lifetime time gun enthusiast currently in Knoxville, buying a Town-home in Sevierville next year (being built). Main interests are handgun shooting/defense. Have shotty but don't use it much. No rifles at present. Joined ORSA, but need to find a sponsor for permanent membership. I don't like indoor ranges due to existing hearing damage. Reload for handguns (single stage no less) Can answer any question someone might have about firearms, just might not be the correct answer Thanks for the beautiful State and opportunity to be free again!

Looks good. I have shot friends guns with Tru Glow fiber optic sights and they are indeed easy to see. Let us know if u get them please.

Haven’t decided yet. I have a love/hate relationship with fiber optics. Will probably just look for the best tritium to my eyes.

Got one a few weeks ago. About 250 down the tube of various HP and some FMJ as well. Only hiccups were on Speer Gold Dot +p ammo which left the chamber dirty and slide didn’t go back to battery a couple of times. Quick cleaning and no reoccurrence of problem (possibly I didn’t do a good enough initial cleaning). Sig HP and Federal HP just peachy from the get go. 147gr loads feel just fine recoil wise. Don’t like the sights...tritium dots too small and not very bright. Gun also requires that the front dot cover the poi to hit properly. Some other guns I have (Kahr) were done that way and it is not my preference. Gun feels really nice in my hand and trigger is awesome. Will be EDC after changing out sights (others may be happy as is). As an aside it fits my Winthrop OWB leather holster for Kahr just fine, but not a kydex holster I have.

Just my two cents worth, had a Shield and just got rid of it. Lousy trigger on the original models, MII is better though. Would consider a Taurus for fun, but would have to prove itself before using it as EDC.
