we got the Mattel rifle, not the Cadillac

yeah, definitely not a 686, that would be stainless The 27 is a good revolver, trigger can "clean up" very well. Pinned barrel, looks like a set of aftermarket (maybe Hogue?) wooden grips.

Krylon, also available in camo colors if that blows your dress up. Paint it

Have used nylon chest rigs for scoped 629 6" and 8", works good. Prefer 4" mountain gun 629 or 625" in side draw holster when riding

After many years and many rifles, if heading to the mountains to hunt for meat I will take my Model 70 Win, chambered in 30 Gov't 06. I like Nosler Partition bullets.

Glad to see more bullet choices for the .25. One of the earlier (and best) .25-06 that I worked with was a Mashburn Improved. Back then, most loads were with an 87 grain and case full of 4831. These bullets were too light for use on larger game, but it would flat-ass toast a coyote. As for...

I have a 19, but I also have a G45 (9mm) and suggest you try one. Its what I usually take with me each day now, unless I need something smaller and it take a G33 (357sig).

Odds the broken spring may not have been original. Regardless, glad you found another.

Carried S&W 36 and 60 many times (and still do) when the weather is hot, using a barami hip grip. So may try the clip draw with my G33/G43 instead.

Mine (Belgian) has a Bar-Sto barrel fitted. If you carried a 1911 for awhile, you will appreciate the slender slide of the Hi-Power. But getting someone to improve the trigger pull would also be a good thing to do.

It looks like that model had checkered grip and forearm (checking marlin info in blue book for 1895 SS)

Agree. Or buy the ammo to feed it.

Seems interesting, but if the lockwork is cheaper to build than the originals, then why does anyone want it? The Pythons I've owned were splendid revolvers. If these new ones are cheaper to build, it does not necessarily signify any improvement. You could slap the name Python and put a Colt...

This.....

Have owned two, still have the first gen. Good revolver. If you suspect gunk in the lockwork, suggest rinsing with lighter fluid (outdoors, not on the 4th of July and not while tending the barbeque)

Have had a few Swifts, have put several thousand rounds through them, and like 'em alot. Have also had a couple of rifles chambered for the .22-250 Ackley Improved and would suggest that instead of the Swift. You can use the Swift load data for the 22-250AI, for same velocities but with better...

I recall some in my platoon "developing" an M1 thumb as they learned the manual of arms (...."pooort hharrrms"......wham). I liked the M1 because it is a good, solid, deadly serious and very manly weapon (and we had a lot of spare parts for them). It's a helluva weapon even unloaded.

I will agree, Jon Beanland is top notch.

Nice revolvers. Have worked up some 300gr hunting loads with my 44mag Mountain Gun that cook pretty good. My .45 Colt Mountain Gun is a handful with heavy loads (using trimmed .454Casull brass, etc.). It's not magnaported, either. Nor is it welcomed at indoor ranges.
