    Yup, there it is on page 489 of the SCSW, doh! Shouldn’t try to read small numbers on cold meds lol. Congrats on a stellar Smith, enjoy!

    I just need to buy a copy of SCSW myself since I seriously doubt this will be my last S&W wheel gun

    I bought the Kindle edition. Mistake. The big problem is it's very hard to find anything. Maybe I'm just missing something. The upside is it's very easy to take the SCSW and many other gun books just about anywhere I might need them.

    If the Kindle edition was half the price of the print edition it might be worth it, but its only a couple bucks cheaper. Might as well get paper.

    Kindle version in a heartbeat. It has a search function. You should be able to find anything in seconds.

    Current pulaski status: got a cheap double bit handle, holy fuck this thing is hard to remove wood from. Might just abandon it for a better fit (if I can find one locally).

    The rust and old paint from the head is gone. I'm working on sharpening it up, which unfortunately is a pain in the ass on an axe with an incorrect profile by whoever had it last but with good steel. Oh well, guess I have an excuse to be productive with some beers in front of the TV.

    That milestone for this project is well in the past! (just picture that as a beer of course)

    edit: I remember my grandpa being great at all these projects. My dad thought he was, but never quite got to the same level. One project he wound up cutting his thumb off.

    At least my poorly advised misadventures into wood/metal working are mostly relegated to hand tools.

    I'm not sure how well most photos post. I bought the S&W 66-1 from Martinjmpr, the photos were good. The gun live and in person was AWESOME !!! Maybe that's just my enthusiasm for a new purchase....

    Started this little project. Troy at Colorado Gun Writes did the engraving for me. He does amazing work. Still waiting on the barrel from Tromix, muzzle brake, and the BCG. Once I have those parts, the upper will be complete.

    The character of a man can be judged by how he treats those who can do nothing for him
