Got a speed six, was looking for a security six but this popped up and "here in front of me" won out.

Very nice gun! I have two BPD Speed Sixes, but both with 4 inch barrels, one nickle and one blued
Mid 1899 M98 Krag-Jorgensen to finish my American small bore collection. Only average, but a good bore and an original 1943 web sling that now sits happily on my 3/43 Smith-Corona M03A3. Stock has some character with two graft repairs with little tree nails. Only cartouche left is a faint outline of the inspectors box. The one non original accessory is the muzzle cover.t

nice. I love these revolvers. have two myself, this one and a four inch. they're beautiful looking guns and built like a tank. i'm looking around for a blued one now.
Yeah, figured might as well jump on this now and then if I randomly find a security six in 4" I can always sell the speed six, already got some jealousy from Father In Law and Brother In Law when I sent them pics of what I had just picked up so figure I should be able to stay about even on the transaction. Though since all I wanted out of it was a revolver to practice for my lcr carry, so might be just happy and settled with this lovely lovely gun.

I know nothing about those build parts or the rifle itself but it looks badass.
Good God! I'm getting the vapors just reading that. The only thing in my budget are the Butler Creek covers.

My truck was due for an 10K service this weekend, and I asked my friends in the area for recommendations as to which dealership to take it to. The consensus was to take it to OC Welch in Hardeeville SC, which is about 30 miles from here. Funny thing - Palmetto State Armory is in Hardeeville South Carolina too, about 9 miles from the dealership.
And since I was in the area...
Took it to the range yesterday after breaking it down and spraying some CLP on it. Dumped a mag through it to make sure it cycled correctly, then sighted it in. No malfunctions of any sort. Seems to be accurate; I didn't bench it - but was hitting my marks offhand.
I ran some American Eagle 115 FMJ through it first, then some 125 gr lead that I've been loading with Hodgdon's Universal. The only drawback at all is that the bolt doesn't lock open on an empty mag.
About a grand out the door, with a 30 round mag included.

When I first got the Vector I put an ACE Entry stock on it, had to drill and tap for a couple of set screws so it wouldn't spin around. I really like the length of the entry stock but they suck for sling attachment so I put the Magpul on it.that stock looks good on that Vector. i love those stocks but i tried it on my cz scorpion and it made me vomit in my mouth.
