SW Model one and one half

I went into my local shop today and the owner told me I had to have this gun. It's a tip up SW Model 1 1/2 .32RF from about 1870.

It's no prize as the nickel is not too good on the cylinder but the rest is better than the pics show.

The MOP grips probably make up for about half of what I paid, I'd guess. They are perfect, not a mark on them.

The grip screw is frozen and I really want to get the grips off. Any idea what I can soak the 'nut' side of the grip in to loosen it without ruining the MOP grips?

I know I didn't get a real prize piece here but it's not bad for the bucks, I think.

Never take kids shopping with you. They wouldn't let me leave without it.

Nice find.

Try dropping some Marvel Mystery Oil in the insert area and letting it soak for a few days.

PB Blaster is by far the best I have ever found for freeing stuck fasteners. It will loosen ANYTHING! Im not sure what effect it would have on the MOP grips.

 

[beaker]

Excellent! Need a range report on that bad boy. I am considering one of these or the Ruger SR-22. Can't decide. Help a guy out!

No pics yet but sants bought me a S&W M&P 15-22 pretty sweet little rifle.

KROIL! The definitive will remove any rusted bolt/screw/nut formula ever known to man. Trust me Dennis... I use this for restorations in the body shop and for my own guns. It works hands down over PB, WD, Marvel, etc.!

I have lots of 'unruster stuff' but I'm concerned about the mother of pearl.

This isn't phony plastic MOP that I know most solvents would ruin, but the real thing and I sure don't want to hurt it.

It doesn't creep as bad as Marvel. One tiny drop applied with a toothpick and some heat from a hair dryer to heat up the metal and let it work its way in is all that should be needed.

I'll give you some to try if you want to swing by my place tomorrow.

 

[mac1911]

light application of heat from a pen style soldier gun, this has worked great for me with little tiny sight screws. a plus is a perfect fitting screw bit

I agree with Ray on this, it is the only cleaner/lubricator allowed here. If you folks ever need some I carry it.

 

[Pilgrim]

I'd be concerned about the hairdryer and the mop....maybe unnecessarily.

I will try the kroil and a pencil tipped iron on the 'nut'.

Thanks to all.

 

[mac1911]

pilgrim, good note "nut" I assume people would know what to heat ? Im more of a do'r than a tell'n how to do it person.

That is exactly what I was thinking. I think a combo of both heat and oil may help.

 

[edhead35]

I dont have a pic to post, but got my Utah Permit in.

 

[edhead35]

Oh, and this.

Now I need a new safe to put it on

You must be in the gun selling business.

 

[ceo012384]

Utterly adorable! Congratulations!

 

[RichM]

Congrats, Roso! Nice acquisition!

Now, be prepared to throw your gun allowance into diapers, school clothes, and college bills for the next 25 years! (but I wouldn't trade mine for all the guns in Fred's safes!)

 

[beaker]

Congrats! Well done!

Thanks!

I figure I am good as long as I don't have to sell any current ones to get diapers for her.

Just got off the plane with Shortey and my December acquisition:

He's an 8 week old Havanese - Shortey's first dog. So far, we couldn't be happier with him. He has a wonderful temperament, and he's the most well behaved, responsive 8 week old puppy I've ever seen.

 

[Hanwei]

awesome

Just too darn cute. Congratulations. Keep us updated.
