He's a classic. He should own about 50% of Smith and Wesson. He's sold nearly as many guns for them as Obama.

Clean it and shoot it!   It isn't in collector condition, but is a quality double shotgun.   Early Lefever guns command a fortune. Later, Ithaca purchased the Lafever name and produced shotguns under both the Ithaca brand as well as the Lefever brand.   Although Ithaca is known for quality guns, and some Ithacas are quite pricey, the Ithaca made Lefevers aren't terribly expensive.   You got a real bargain there!

It is special in that it is a family heirloom. I was trying to give as accurate an answer to your question as I could. My wife says I should work on my tact a bit. She's probably right.....ah hell, she's always right. :doh: :)

Welcome to the forum.   To post a picture, you need to save the photos on an online photo sharing/storing site like flikr or photobucket. Then you can copy and paste the url code in your post.   Several Spanish companies made scads of poor to mediocre quality copies of Smith and Wesson and Colt revolvers. I'm not sure how much these have been studied, but I don't know of a good source of information on them.

Good prices all around, and an easy to use website. Thank for the link.

I have an L3250. The darn thing is bullet proof! You have a good tractor in my opinion.

Fun thread. I hate I missed it the first go 'round.   Welcome to Tennessee. :love:

There were a few boxes of various 22 ammo at Academy Sports on Saturday. That was the first 22 ammo I've seen on a store shelf since this cr@p started.

Welcome to the forum.   You do see he has been banned form this forum?

I'll put it this way. If I owned a business, restaurant or other, and these two fools walked it, I would not so politely escort them to the door immediately. What gives you any indication that two people who look like that wouldn't fire those rifles, negligent or otherwise?

Me too. What do you do about jerks like this?

The frame window was lengthened to accommodate the longer cylinder. I wasn't aware any other changes were made.   I do agree that the old wadcutters are hard to beat for a 38 Special.   It was found that the J frames were actually better able to handle 357 pressures than the K frames. Model 19s were prone to cracking in the forcing cone when fired with lightweight, high speed bullets. I am not aware of that problem in a J frame.

This!^   Smith and Wesson marketed 38 Special ammo in the 70's, with their company name on it,  that is waaaaaaaaay hotter than anything available today with the +p designation.

Wal Mart should start a cruise line to compete with Carnival. I found the same type people at both places.

That is a fine carry gun! It'll shoot anything that'll fit in the chamber. Telling you not to shoot +p ammo in it is a CYA from Smith and Wesson. It might eventually work loose if you shoot a BUNCH or +p ammo, but it'll take more than my hands or wallet could stand.   A model 60 is a stainless version of the 36, and could be had chambered in 357 Magnum. +p 38 Special doesn't get close to 357 mag pressures.   The Gold Dots would be fine assuming they shoot to the point of aim.

Seriously??!!?? :ugh:

Where does that reference come from? I've heard it for years, but either I don't get it, or didn't see the right movie.

Now that is determination! :up: :up:

Scrap price for brass is $1.65 per pound. It's worth something. As others have said, you can purchase a membership to this forum and sell it here. Most people don't want to buy a handful, unless it is a scarce chambering, so it would be better to save it up until you have a lot of it. I buy used brass, and personally, I prefer to get it the way it hit the ground, rather than polished or otherwise processed.

You would be incorrect. Unless I'm mistaken, it isn't law that I keep a record who I buy or sell a gun to. I don't. Many other people don't either. If I sell a gun to you, and you sell it, trade it, or throw it off a bridge, how is your name attached to it?

That's a very good explanation. I hadn't looked at it that way. Thanks.

I've build roads in Wilson County almost exclusively for several years now. I don't know why this is, but everywhere I've been, there have been old tires piled up EVERYWHERE!!! Rocks and used tires. I think that's what Wilson County is made of.

You don't have your name attached in any way to a used gun purchased from an individual. That is worth something to a lot of people.
