Re: Need new holsters or larger pockets
One had been shortened to 4 inches with a wide hammer spur welded on and the other was a rough model 1909. Both are in 45 colt.

Re: Picked up a beater
The previous owner had also converted another 71 deluxe to full length mag with the 24 inch barrel. He was in his 70s and raising money for a sailboat. If he's still available I'll ask who did the work, he may have done it himself though.

Re: Who fiddles with a .32 ACP these days?
Doc, the plan is to get her to the range and shoot my revolvers, then rent a s&w shield or similar to see what she likes. If she likes an auto she'll need one sprung to easily rack the slide.
If she insists on the 32, I'll look for one that will handle 32 mag.

My early Remington 700 custom kevlar stock in 280rem. I can drag it and me up and down the washes in the Mojave Nat'l preserve and still make it back to camp at the end of the day. Usually cover 7 to 12 miles according to my gps, if we're hunting the far corners of the valley.

Re: Picked up a beater
I follow... the full mag 71 is one that I'd take into weather and terrain that I won't take the carbine into. Not a beater but it won't lose any value going up the mountain.
The carbine receiver has carry wear on the bottom so it's not mint and I'd be comfortable in the woods with it.

Hey Six, my carbine is #20181 and the custom is #21956. Imagine I've got some work to do as the barrel band feels like it's welded in place. The forend feels floated though. Interesting configuration. I really like the extra rounds if things get exciting.
