Does anyone make a gloss finished scope? Most all new rifles have matte finishes and evidently scope manufacturers followed suit. I have a few rifles that have a high polished blueing and decently figured walnut stocks and they would look better with a nice shiny scope. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |

| No gloss scopes available, that I have seen in several years. Best bet is to find an older one in the classified ads. |

I'll check a few garage sales this summer. I'm always amazed at what I find at garage sales. Happy Easter to you guys too. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |

Wing, besides local garage sales U kin always make runs to local gun shows to find what's available. Besides that's always a fun day a GOOD gun show. Remember tho....buyer beware at those sales! ------------- Irish Bird Dog NRA Life/Endowment 2nd Amendment Supporter |

Good point about gun shows IBD. They had our gun club show last weekend. The problem is I get sidetracked too easy. About 5 tables from the door a guy had a bunch of old Smith & Wessons. One of them was a model I have been looking for for a few years. I'm sure you can guess how that ended up. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |

Wing, that's a great find now days I'd guess. Gotta be pretty scarce anymore after all these years. Any provenience come with it??? like a history of its wanderings over the decades???? check this link out....is this what you now have???? https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/v-is-for-victory-the-smith-wesson-victory-model-revolver/" rel="nofollow - https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/v-is-for-victory-the-smith-wesson-victory-model-revolver/ ------------- Irish Bird Dog NRA Life/Endowment 2nd Amendment Supporter |

IBD Yes That's it. that is a very informative article about them. Mine is an early one. A lot of the early ones have a very interesting background. The only way to know is to get a factory letter that tells where and when it shipped from the factory. When I get that information, there is a couple guys on the Smith & Wesson forum that have researched these guns and know with a high probability where it went during the war and how and when it returned home to the US. I'll be sending in for a letter shortly. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |
