I’ll just leave this here.. Model 15-7, I had the Ahrends grips lying around, looks like they found a new home..

Any plans for fitting leather? That thing is begging to be carried along.

Very nice. I’m always on the lookout for one of those or a Dayton Special to fulfill my 4” K frame needs.

That is a thing of beauty.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I I need a primer of wheeelgun model number nomenclature.

Seventh major engineering revision of the Combat Masterpiece after going to the much less fun numbering scheme. A year after the -7 came up (drilled and tapped frame plus a couple small changes from the -6), the square butt was dropped to just make them round. Late in the -7 run, they started using MIM hammers and triggers.

And there is no embarrassment, keeping up with Smith's model numbers from various nomenclature changes is hard enough, let alone revision histories.

M-15 is a blued “K” frame in .38 Special. As above this one is Rev -7 for improvements.
The same basic gun as a M-19 without the .357 Mag chambers but just an overall nice package.

Kind of a cult classic wheelgun.

This revolver was just part of a package deal that I made today from a private seller.. You guys are going to hate me.. I also picked up the following

1. Browning A5, 12ga, looks to about a 28” bbl sadly, it also has one of those adjustable choke thingies that were popular in the 50’s and 60’s. Looking at serial number charts online, it appears that this was made in 1933, if I’m reading the charts right.. It’s in decent shape bore is bright and shiny, all numbered parts match. Looks like it’d be a good shooter.

2. Thompson-Center Contender, came with two 16” bbls one in .223, the other in .45 Colt/.410 its like new..

3. Norinco Model 320, Uzi clone, appears new in box, 16”bbl, thumb hole stock, in box with accessories, I’m thinking I’ll sell it.I bought all of this for less than $700

I bought a kindle copy of the Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson a few years ago. A great reference book and not expensive as a kindle book. Also handy for pulling stuff up right in the gun shop.
