Ed Post a picture when ya get it together and have time. Bet it's purty. Umm..have a friend looking for a set of Ivory checkered gips for a 45.. If ya see a set let me know. He has a nice Ithaca 45 pimp gun(all nickled) he wants to make purtier..or so he says. Picked up the Smith M-41 today. I did REALLY good on it. It came with the original barrel and a Clark Custom barrel too. The custom bbl has been shot but not much. It is set up like the original but also has a Weaver base on it for Red Dots etc. Also has 2 mags and the grips are adjustable for target shooting..but they are gonna go. I'll put a set of original or a set of something near the factory grips. The factory bbl is also drilled and tapped for a mount. Cleaned her up a bit and it do shoot. Better'n me. I'll post a picture or 2 of it here tomorrow. Along with a few other recent buys. Got a S&W M-19 at the local pawn shop. Out the door for 250. Pretty?? Not hardly but it is in good tight condition( a cops gun for certain and almost unfired) and for that kinda money..course I'll buy. Going in momma's truck as her carry around gun. I also got a really nice S&W M-60 3 inch 357 with adj sights. Paid a bit much at 475..but gonna sell the M-36 S&W momma carries and let her carry the M-60 Smith.. She likes it and it resides in her pocketbook as we speak. She said i can't even touch it. Course that's what she said about her LOL!! Bought a Remington Standard Weight 1100 20 ga 3 inch vent rib gun too. Gonna replace mine with it and part mine out. Mine ain't purty..this one is. Got another 45 of a sort not long ago too. and others...
