New M14-3!

Well I finally made a move on a S&W M14! I now have a 17-3 and a 14-3 both 6" barrels of course. The owner of the 14 just never really shot not much and took good care of it. The 17 has some sort of stain on the side plate. Looks like rust but hasn't come off yet. 

I spilled a little orange juice on a pistol one time and didn't notice till the hunt was over. It took the blue right off and left a stain like that. I had to re-blue it.

Bluing is iron oxide.  Acids are the main way to reduce (chemical term) an oxide.  Fruit juices, even ones you wouldn't suspect like peaches, contain acids and are death on blue jobs.  You can almost watch it happen......

Congrates!!! I just got one too a couple weeks ago. They are very nice guns

Nice. Now if you can find a Model 25 you'll be able to shoot a full 2700 with them.

25-2....Unless your into 45 colts.

A 45 is a 45.  But yeah get the 25-2.

This is a 45. Very accurate. True hardball. Masochist preferred.

Nice, now you can save for a few years for a model 16 and you'll have the whole K frame group of target revolvers

Very nice! I too have a 14-3, 17-3 and I lucked into a Model of 1988. Looking forward to doing a 2700 all revolver.

Hmmm, I have a 14-3, 17-3, and just got a 625-6 model of 1989.  I'm set!
