Somebody once said 'you should never go grocery shopping when you're hungry', which is probably good advice, except for one thing: GunBroker is on 24/7, and it's the cravings that never go away, not the store.

While I was hardly thinking of it as a consolation prize, I'm glad I spotted the 617 before I saw this.

Otherwise, I might be in real trouble.

'This'

The 617

The 617 should be here later today...

Ammo Craft is a LGS about 20 miles from here. It's a small strip-mall shop and their inventory is, ahh, well, I have more 'inventory' in my sock drawer usually. They do have a decent selection of reloading components and supplies. The owner is a good guy (rabid turkey hunter---how can he not be?) Reminds me, I need to stop by there one of these lazy Saturdays...

Neat lil' gun!!

VERY cool.

Can I claim 'first dibs' if you decide to sell, or am I just:
1) Barking up the wrong tree
2) ****ing in the wind
3) A day late and a dollar short
4) All of the above

I think I need to make one sans the holes.

Find one of the Bulldogs with the aluminum barrel shroud and simply shoot it. Soon, you will have a barrel sans sights...and shroud.

This I know to be true.

But I believe I'd make an exception.

--

too. The tapered stainless barreled all SS framed Bulldogs were the best they ever made.

I've been looking for one of those for a long time, but either I just missed them, the price was too high, or the condition of that particular specimen was too far gone.

Now, I'd be happy to find a really nice blue one, but it's pretty much the same story with those.

I have a feeling, though, I'm better off without one.

I couldn't take .45 ACP recoil in the Bowen custom S&W '1917/50' with prewar Magnas that I traded to Glen, so I kind of doubt I could handle a Bulldog, even if it had Goodyear grips.

In terms of recoil, I top out somewhere around .38 Special nowadays.

Just got the skinny grips today from an Ebay auction.

deal.

I started with finding the woman I should have stayed with over 20 years ago and winning her back. Now it is time to rebuild the lost loves of guns and motorcycles. This time I keep all of them until i'm gone.

I truly do Andrew.
