Squid Load Smith and Wesson Barrel

**rcathey** · 03-24-2020 08:04 AM

Hi all,

I bid on and won a nice looking Smith and Wesson barrel. It was 38 Special, probably from a Model 10.

When it arrived I noticed a distinct bulge.

...so I performed an autopsy with interesting results!

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

That's a neat paperweight

There was actually one more jacket in there that came out while milling.
It’s interesting to me that the fella had to get one bullet stuck, empty the cylinder, reload, and continue firing!

Not even remotely an isolated incident it seems... Hoping you meant SQUIB...

**rcathey** · 03-24-2020 11:36 AM

Haha, yes, SQUIB. Whoops.

I had seen pictures like this before. It's neat to see it in person.

I did actually buy this barrel with hopes of reselling. I think I'll end up getting more out of it as a paperweight, though, so I'm happy!

Yes, sitting on your desk will also cultivate conversation from shooters and gun guys you wouldn't suspect otherwise.
