He said that he knew I "fix stuff" and that if anyone could get it to work, I would. And someday, it will be passed down, again. Yeah, free guns are always spectacular, but this one was old, and an heirloom and I could use it for teaching my daughters how to shoot someday. It means a lot to have a gun that was passed on to him from his dad. I was kinda shocked, but said, "hell yes," without much thought. 22, and asked me if I wanted the old basket case 949. While we were cleaning up before moving, he told me he was looking to buy a new Ruger "western-style". It couldn't hit anything without the rear sight, and it didn't work very well in double-action. We knocked it around for a little while and sprayed some targets before moving on to the longer rifle range. Its only knock was the lack of a rear dovetail sight-or so I thought. It was a pistol he was given many years ago by his now-departed father, and an easy 8/10 condition. I was at a local gun club & range a couple of months with my father-in-law, and while we were shooting our various handguns, he pulled out an old H&R 949 western SA/DA. I love this little gun, especially for what it means to me and how I acquired it. I mentioned this one in a previous thread, and I wanted to show it off here.
