Re: New Member from Dallas, TX area

Jack, Appreciate any help I can get regarding the mag. I have been setting up at the Tulsa Gun Show for several years and if we have a show in April I plan to be there.

Re: New Member from Dallas, TX area

Jack,

Thanks, that video was super, run through a box of ammo really fast! Makes me want to shoot mine even more now. I guess we will never really know how or why the unique numbers on these rifles was determined.

Re: New Member from Dallas, TX area

Thanks for the welcome, I have some photos but I have to adjust the size and will post if I can. Hope to get some better photos soon. One of my questions is if the modified 5 round mags really work in the police version of this gun or not. I have heard different stories and not sure which to believe...

I am a longtime antique/military gun collector who prowls the gun shows and flea markets in the North Texas area looking for interesting items. I am looking forward to learning more about my Model 81 LA County #75 I recently picked up from a friend. He found it in a local pawn shop a few years ago. ...
