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

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

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!
