S&W model 63 and model 317 rare

[TAB]

Be very careful about looking at those intresting things...  They have cost me alot of money over the years

You got that right Tab.

And as much as I'd like some of the curios and collectibles, like a Luger, I've learned to put those things really low on the priority list.  I'll just ohhh and ahhh over them and tempt other people to buy them.


On favorite example of searches-gone-awry is looking for pictures of "angels".

I picked up this Model 63 in the mid 80's, (pre lock). It's a beautiful .22 revolver. The only thing you have to be careful about is keeping the faces of both the cylinder and forcing cone really CLEAN. If you don't the gun will start binding up. I thought mine was going out of time. As it turned out all it needed was a really good cleaning. I've found that Lead Away Wipes work the best. But it does take some time and elbow grease. Especially so if you shoot the cheap, bulk, unplated ammo. The Ruger Single Six's don't seem to have this issue. At least mine don't.
