    Squid Load Smith and Wesson Barrel

    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.

    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!

    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.
