Western style double action revovler

[gorn5150]

When I was in high school I traded a buddy a knife for a High Standard "The Marshall" double action western style revolver. I loved that thing and shot thousands of rounds out of it. Being about 17 at the time I had no idea about how to certain things could be real bad for guns. I shot a bunch of .22 starter pistol caps though it. Not realizing they were black powder, and how corrosive black powder was I didn't clean it right away. Needless to say the black powder corroded the internal parts so bad it ruined the revolver.

I would love to have a western style revolver that is double action again. I haven't been able to find one. Are there any being made anymore?

They are out there they are called a "Double Nine" and as it's a "double action" revolver it would have to be C&R Status and roster exempt to ship into CA I think.

a couple of questions for you, do you happen to have the frame or any parts from your original revolver that got corrosion damage?
if the frame ( the part that's considered a firearm.) can be saved most of the other parts might be found on the web through gun parts wholesalers like gun parts Corporation, Jack first or even eBay.
(although I'm not sure it will all go back together very easily it might be one possible solution.)

& geez what kind of knife did you trade him for a working pistol?

:-)


I think if you want to get a copy of that gun that your two best bets are running an advertisement here in the want to buy section, or going on Gunbroker, a national web auction gun site.

as mentioned above if it's not already in California you're probably going to go have to go through some more hoops to make sure you don't break any of the safety roster laws.
although I am pretty sure you can search gunbroker for guns for sale by state = inside your state.

good luck.

I don't have the frame or any parts from the gun. This happened in the early 70's and they got tossed in the incinerator. The knife I traded was an old fixed blade Case. If I only knew then what I do now I would have kept the revolver. Oh to be young and stupid again.

well the good news is there were a lot of high standard western style double action revolvers made, I'm not sure if the Marshall model was though.
the second piece of good news is that not that many people know that even though they were second tier guns of that day their quality is good, they are usually pretty durable and they are everyday workhorses.

like I mentioned above I think you might have just those two choices...Calguns a free "want to buy" ad. or gunbroker.

because I don't see them too often in local gun stores.

I bought an H&R recently which looks SA but is indeed DA (or SA). I believe it is a 649 model.

Has not been made for many years.

I wish I could find the H&R I shot as a kid - 10 round cylinder - DA with easily removed cylinder. Bull barrel.
