All new firearms should be thoroughtly inspected, cleaned, and lubricated before firing whether the owners manual says so or not!

I believe the 29 was more of a compact version of the Model 20.

I got this one about 10 years ago. Now, if I could afford to shoot it more!

Springfield did produce M1As in select fire:

This started out as a 500 and Cobray supplied the 10" barrel. I've posted this before but folks aways enjoy seeing it.

Lots of military type rifles sold back in the 80s had pinned and welded muzzle devices to comply with Clinton era rules and regs. Also many muzzle devices were reamed out and bayonet lugs were filed down so that either of these would not be functional.

Please post some pictures.

Works for me!

B-17 bomber crash-lands in Belgium—no crew aboard, engines still running. Some of you may already know this story, but I didn't and thought I would share...

A dark park job might look nice. Pitting will be really noticeable if you blue it. Maybe talk to someone who refinishes as a specialty to give you more information.

Many were built on Charles Erb registered receiver tubes using Germany WWII parts: https://jamesdjulia.com/item/52939-37-402/ Many of the 100 percent original MP40s were amnesty guns.

Absolutely DOA!

This is a Model 686-6 that I got years ago.

This is a Model 19-3 that my new bride bought me in 1976.

This PPK may be close to 1st year production. One serial number charts start at 7700xx which indicates 1931. Another site says that production started in 1930 with 754900. So it's about a 94 to 95 year old pistlo. It is a .32cal which was standard at the time. Maybe one of our members can...

My .02 cents:

Because it was made by Walter in West Germany it should be a good one. Walther made these for German police depts for years in .32 cal. Hey, James Bond liked them!

Cliff, please accept my condolences. As much as I would like to say something that would make you feel better I don't know of any words that will really help assuage the pain and grief that accompany such a loss. Both of you are in my prayers.

Guys, lighting can strike you anywhere! I think that the secret to staying safe is knowing your own limitations. But as mamma used to say, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".
