Just snagged this S&W US Army Model 1917 for the unbelievable price of $500.
She's in super tight mechanical condition, the finish is amazing for a 100 year old wheel gun, she didn't go through a re-arsenal, all the WWI acceptance stamps are crisp and clear.
Not one of my usual humble brag threads of where I rob the evidence locker but I think I did well.

114 Year Old Colt New Service that's been rode hard and put away wet. Paid $25 for it a few years back.

Can still hit plates at 30 yards one handed.

Took the S&W 1917 to the range also. For a 100 year old revolver. It shots like it is brand new.

Looking forward to using the illuminated reticle at a few spots where the deer come out right on dark.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d32874593e.jpg

Haha yep - though it's a shame the Royal Armouries have such a poor audio recording setup. It sounds like a cap gun!Quote:

I thought I would have a go making the most suitable rifle for my sort of hunting. It won't be every one's cup of tea, but its what I wanted. I've never had a purpose built rifle before but have used heaps of rifles in many calibers so new what would suit me best.
This is what I decided on:
Re-barrel my A7 270wsm (which I originally bought to convert to 7mmsaum) to 300saum. 20" Hardy barrel A7 contour, fluted and threaded.
Work done by Scott Trail. I collected it today, and the work is amazing.
It weights 6lb 1oz bare, and 8lb with ,scope and muffler. I have a Stug stock coming, so that will cut the all up weight back to around about 7lb. 'Scope at the moment is a 2-10 Conquest with Z600 reticle, although I might have a change around and put my VX6 2-12 CDS on it.
Sighting in and breaking in the barrel tomorrow if the WX behaves.

Will be interesting to compare your results with my 20in bbl 300wsmQuote:

Copper fowling has pretty much stopped after 20 shots. Very pleased with velocities from 20" barrel. Wrapped with accuracy. Well done Scott Trail (gun-smith work) and Hardy (barrel)!
