A clean bore is a thing of beauty. I wish my digital was charged...

BETH · 12-06-2010, 08:18 PM

johnlives4christ · 12-06-2010, 08:34 PM

lol

BETH · 12-06-2010, 08:37 PM

oh come on you can't tell that for picture????????????

todd51 · 12-06-2010, 08:53 PM

Beth, they are pulling your leg. That is JLA's S&W 357mag DCM. He has shown it to us before just to make us drool. It has unique adjustable front sight. That wasn't bad enough and then Zane goes and gets one too only nickle and the drooling just continues.

johnlives4christ · 12-06-2010, 08:55 PM

BETH · 12-06-2010, 10:23 PM

U saw the picture before come onnnnnnnnnnnn

johnlives4christ · 12-07-2010, 12:24 AM

nope. i new jla had a smith but never seen the pic. mind you... i have ate slept and breathed guns since i was 18

Alpo · 12-07-2010, 02:00 AM

I, myownself, thought "Python", but yeah, vent rib, full underlug, and the glare makes it look blue. Hole looks right for 357. Smith "L" frame and Colt 41 frame are the same size.

Beth, many years back I was a spectator at a cowboy shoot with a girl that makes jewelry. She said something like, "Wonder what kind of rifle he's using". I said it was a '73 Winchester. Now, we were some 40 or 50 feet away, and she was skeptical. "How can you tell?" I asked her if she could tell the difference, with her beads, between onyx and coral and opal and amethyst, etc. She said of course she could. I asked her how she could tell. "Been doing it for years. I know what they look like". I told her it was the same thing.

You've been doing the gun thing for about a year and a half, right? Don't know about John, but I been messing with 'em close to 40. Sometimes you just "know", and don't even know how you know.

johnlives4christ · 12-07-2010, 02:13 AM

9 here. man remember when they had that "name this cartridge" thread... wonder about a name that muzzle thread.

Zane71464 · 12-07-2010, 02:34 AM

Aint no mistaken the end of a .3 5 7 MAG (DCM)! And must say Josh, you got that "beast" clean! Time to get it ready to be cleaned again...*wish the weather would coperate long enough so I could get mine dirty* I wanna shoot!!!

Zane71464 · 12-07-2010, 02:58 AM

Ok, ok josh....I had to come back and have another look see...

ahhhhh, nice! A fine Revolver and a FINE example of top quality Gunsmithing at it's best!!! Ive cleaned and cleaned both of mine and all I can do is look at them right now...

Thinking if it would at least hit 32 D tomorrow, I might be able to get mine out and make it all dirty again!!!

That is a Q-tip nestled into the end of my S&W 586 DCM ''magnum baby yeah'', the light from my T-5 lightstrip over my desk is reflecting off the Q-tip and lighting up the interior bore. I lapped this bore about 4 or 5 months ago and everytime I clean it it brings a smile to my face.

BTW, I mostly only shoot lead in my handguns lubed with my own formulation of homemade boolit lube. This barrel was last crudded with bluedot and 158 gr WFN, I abandoned the bluedot loads because titegroup and unique waaaay outperformed them...

JLA · 12-07-2010, 07:19 AM

Johns got a keen eye, as do most of the rest of the gunnuts around here. My boss wheels out an 1861 springfield rifle musket stamped 1863 on it at christmas one year. As soon as he rounded the corner with it i told him what it was. One of the other drivers thot I was BSin, but when Rob set the rifle on the table and mark could see the stampings on the reciever he looked at me and said, "youre in the wrong business" I said "I know" but stirrin poo sure pays the bills better than smithin does. So i do both

JLA · 12-07-2010, 07:21 AM

BTW, the business end of my 1911 and my ruger SBH both look the same.

The digital should be charged and I aint cleaned the 1911 yet so ill do a before and after for yall...

BETH · 12-07-2010, 03:34 PM

ok i will give it to u gun nuts-

Helix_FR · 12-07-2010, 04:35 PM

I would recognize that front sight anywhere.

JLA · 12-07-2010, 08:37 PM

Helix is the one that hooked me up with this bad boy earlier this year. got me it for 425 + transfer. It has a clean 15 oz. SA trigger pull courtesy of Mr. Helix himself.

Believe it or not beth, some of us are truly gun nuts.

Not related, but poinient.

I was in a garage at a funeral home once and they had tons of junk on one side with a car covered in a sheet in the pile. they had boxes on top too. But I could see one 6 inch by 2 inch sliver of the bottom back fender. I asked the guy, " Wow, is that a 1961 series 62 cadillac convertable." The guy was speachless. He wanted to know how the heck I could have even know for sure there was a car there, let alone what it was.

Those are my two material loves, guns and cadillacs, oh, and hillbilly music.
