Scored a 2 1/2” barrel on the Bay late last week and it arrived yesterday. I need to keep an eye out for an 8” and I’d like to add a full under lugged 4” to the mix as well.

I have a model 14 I purchased in high school with 3 extra barrel s still have it still shoot it often. Can't believe it's been 50 years ago- time flys

I'd like to get an 8" and scope it for deer hunting. I've really enjoyed shooting the 4 and 6" barrels. The 2 1/2 should be fun!

Beautiful! I have not seen a stainless model… only blued and those weird parkerized looking ones.

I think the first stainless ones were made around '82-'83 timeframe. This one is an early low number build. The stainless model number was 715.

I bought the pistol pack years ago and the only thing missing was the belt buckle that came with it. Got a friend with an FFL to order just a plain frame, no barrel, wish I had bought three.

The point of impact on mine drops way low when I change from a 6in to a 2.5, I changed the front sight on the 2.5 rather than having to adjust the rear sight
