Thanks, Six. I had to correct the date of the Model 71 in the post. It's 1940, not 1941. The serial # is in the early 18000s. However, my other transition Model 71 is 1941. In my mind I had them reversed. The serial # of my 1941 standard 71 (pictured here) is 19957. Pretty close to yours! Is yours a transition 71 with a short tang but with a prewar style hammer and buttstock comb? My '41 also has a bolt peep. I've been told that an early short tang standard transition 71 with a prewar hammer, prewar stock comb, and bolt peep is the rarest of the 71 configurations. All things considered that sounds about right, but who knows! I'm sure at that time in 71 production they were emptying out the parts bins.Sixgun wrote:Your guns are very nice and clean. I especially like the standard pre-war Mod 71. Don't know why but I have always preferred the standard over the deluxe (and I have both as you do also) Maybe because I'm a working guy and the standard identifies with me. My standard is also made in '41 and the # is 20375 Yours close?
The Finnwolfs are rarely seen. I see you have 2 of them. Can I have one
(But if you're serious, Jack, send me a PM.) 
Jack, make that two others you've seen now. My standard 71 with the close serial # to yours has an original non-blued loading gate!Sixgun wrote:Victor,
Yes, My standard is just like your first standard. (middle gun and bottom pic) It has the pre-war hammer but does not have the bolt peep.....it has a Lyman 56. It also has something that I have only seen on one other Model 71........a nickel plated loading gate. Its original. Mine gets shot some. I've logged over a thou. with it with 175 rounds in the last week alone
First......drum roll.............With this 71, I was match winner at yesterdays silhouette match. I shot a 32 X 40 with it. Maybe I'll make a post telling the details on the loads, etc. so others may learn.---------------Sixgun

I have a modern clones clones of the 71 and 1886 guns and I shoot only iron sights. I sure would like to have some neat compact aperture rears like those. Now if I only knew what to look for. If anyone has info I would appreciate a PM. Thanks
Agree with ollogger, that 70 is a droolerollogger wrote:ALL very nice, but the Model 70 is a beaut.

Well, go ahead! Now, post a pic of your engraved 71 and we will slap you. That is a beauty!------------6
Jack, our 1936 Model 71s also could be called brothers: My 71 on the left is a 1936 with ser. # 1127. Yours is 921. They likely were made within just days of each other! The condition of mine isn't unfired/mint, though, just near mint with an inch scratch on the barrel and an impression line on the buttstock.Sixgun wrote:Victor,
Our 71's could be called brothers! Probably made a month apart........at the most....
Here's my deluxe, made in '36 as is the box of ammo. never could find any evidence of it being fired, but I'm sure it was.'
#921
