    Thumbs up Wish me luck

    Going to an auction this weekend and got my eye on a few items:

    Finn M91 Mosin Nagant.

    S&W M57. There are two, both blue, N serial #, one 4"and one 6". I'm wanting the 4" more than the 6".

    S&W M610. This just so happens to be another of the 5" models like the one I picked up earlier his year. You almost never see these let alone two locally in a few months.

    S&W Model 646. This is a revolver in .40 S&W that they made back in 2000. It's got a 4" bbl and titanium cylinder. Only made like 300 of them. Pretty scarce so I'm interested.

    Ruger Blackhawk. One in .30 carbine and a convertible in 38/40 & 10mm.

    Colt Double Eagle in 10mm. I know but it's a 10 so I gotta check it out.

    Savage Model 99. Two of them in .308. Ones a 99 and the other is a 99E.

    Sig Sauer P220 Elite, .45 ACP.

    Conan Arms in .357. Really would like this one.

    There are a lot more plus ammo and of course Buck knives but these are the ones I'm most interested in. I'm planning on leaving with at least the 4" S&W M57 and the Finn M91. I sold off probably 6 Finn M91's and an M91/24 and wish I'd have kept at least one so if this one checks out its coming home with me.

    Other than those two and maybe some Bucks I'll just have to wing it and see what things are selling for.

    My thoughts, 6" is better than 4. The 57 I have has the 8-3/8ths inch barrel will give me 1410 fps with a 210 gr. Jacketed HP bullet. My point is the longer barrel yields more speed and energy. I also think they balance better. 4" is old school carry gun mentality. Nobody should be carrying an N frame wheel gun for CCW in the 21st century.

    The main reason I was interested in the 4" M57 is because I already have a 6".

    OK, now that makes some sense of it. Still nothing like having 2 of one thing.
