those do not work as well as the salesman say they do. if you don’t get the angle, absolutely perfect and make sure the bolt doesn’t come forward on accident then it really screws up. I bought two of them a different brand and instantly got frustrated with them. I have extended takedown pins, so it’s much easier for me to just hinge open the receiver, and then I made my own speed loader from the speed loader that comes in bulk ammo cans.

@ranch king pro 08 sort of, I just cut and ground the magazine adapter for the stripper clip to work with a mag that's permanently installed in the magwell.

I was going through some stuff a few days ago and came across these end of day targets I saved. It was one of my first times at the range, I was using the Ruger 10/22 with a bipod stand and the ironsite (I ditched the scope earlier in the day so it was more challenging).
I got some pretty nice firearms come through my Gunsmithing side hustle A nice 1970s colt 38 super valued at $2000-$3000 A Beretta m1935 made in 1937 valued at $850 A Browning A5 (The camouflaged one) valued at $2000. And a Tristar (The black and green one) valued at $200-$350. In the end there was honest business and happy customers
When I was selling on gunbroker I was pleased that people actually wanted the Colt .38 police specials from the 1920s (?). A gun I always wanted to try and maybe own someday would be a Calico 22LR M-100. Good enough for John Candy, good enough for me.

@JB_4x4 oh boy we're talking about Colts you done hopped on my geeky side, if you're talking about a Colt police positive they ran from 1907 to 1947 they were first produced chambered in 32S&W and then later changed to 38 S&W then entered the 22LR variant later on, you could get the Barrel in a 2.5 all the way up to a 6-in barrel. Everybody swears up and down that Colt didn't steal the design from a Smith & Wesson model 10 that came out in 1899 i think it's really weird because they all have pretty much the same internals and the only difference is the colt is just a couple ounces lighter. Seems fishy to me LOL
Yes, it was a very short barrel, I remember it being 1920s, so, it may have been a .32. I think it had a dark brownish patina, it was not rusty. I know it said police on it. At that time I had only owned guns about 2 years, so, I was certainly a newbie without an appreciation for anything firearms related.
I only bought one of my kid's a firearm for a XMAS gift, a pink .22lr single shot Chipmunk for my daughter when she was 10 or 11. She now has a CCW and a 9mm.
Though after 400+ sales, I came to appreciate using the Ruger Mark I and IIs and despise the new (2012?) S&W .22 LR (the silver and black plastic ones MR-22?). They had to have the chintziest fragile rear plastic sights I have ever used. I had BB guns from Daisy that were better.
