Re: Fair market price for S&W HE2 .455?

Saw a Second Model HE .455 with the chamber deepened to accept .45 Colt with 6 1/2" barrel and the proper grips at the Big Reno Show a couple of weeks ago. $1800.00. It was there Friday but was gone by Sat. Having the chamber deepened ruins the collector's value and it still went.

Re: The scoop on Keppler Feds

Just an FYI. Beaver Brand went Belly up a couple of years ago and I sort of gave up. Another company bought the BB name and got in touch with me. The prototype is almost ready. I had it in my hands for any final changes and it went back for one minor change, but boy, what a winner! No offence to any...

Re: Bapty question

Syd stembridge told me that Lucasfilm sent him a picture of the Bapty gun and said they wanted another like it. The 1917 was in stock as it was, so that's the one that they ended up with for the stateside scenes. He never could find the letter and picture of the Bapty, or I would have it now.

Re: What's your favorite Indy gun?

I will go with the Bapty S&W 2nd Model HE. I'm sure Indy will (or has already) figure out that if you deepen the chambers, you have a perfect .45 Colt that will also fire .455 if you're in that part of the world. Nothing stops Nazis like a .45 Long Colt's 255 grain slug.
