Weekly Used Gun Review Ep. 77

[@Hoplophile1]

I carried a Model 57 6-inch for years when I was a Texas deputy sheriff in the 1980s. Had to sell it when we transitioned to semi-autos. Lord how I miss than fine firearm!

[@NorthwoodsShooter]

3rd Gen S&W handguns of the late 80s-90s are awesome quality and are greatly underrated. I personally believe these were some of the best of times for S&W.

[@Beanmachine9198]

Great history lesson, I had forgotten about the serialization thing, which explains why paw paws old 12 GA double has no numbers on it, came from a sears catalog, no mod number. Name nothing🤔🤔

[@panzerabwerkanone]

I really love that Marlin Camp Carbine in .45. I have always wanted one but only seen one IRL. A fine rifle that is built on Marlin's Model 922M .22WMR action.

[@BatCaveOz]

Chris - "This .50cal comes to us from Texas". Me - The story checks out.

[@MarksmanTV]

Lol

[@OpinionFromGenX]

I bought mine on a Craigslist type website here in Seattle about 10-12 years ago for $5k. Came with Leopold optic but I can't remember which one off the top of my head and 500rnds. At the time the scope was sold for $2500+, I do remember that. Curious what it's worth today. It's on the WILL NEVER SELL list!

[@gunsandcars3648]

STAR BM ! yes a hidden gem , love mine.

[@adamadams6740]

I always forget about the camp carbine,I like them never had one but if I ever see one in the wild it shall be mine!

[@mattypants1975]

Bought my first gun from your online site on Friday, it comes in Tuesday. Amazingly fast shipping, I will be a repeat customer. It’s like an online gun show, I have gotten into some older and one off guns lately because most new releases don’t interest me as much as they used to. So excited to have your site as a resource for my collecting needs.

[@MarksmanTV]

Thank you so much for your feedback and for your business! I hope you enjoy!

[@Machi74005]

Regarding the S&W 5906, magazines for those pistols will work in Kel Tec P11 pistols for anyone who owns one.

[@704ab]

And they work in the Marlin Camp 9, if you have one of those around.

[@joshuagibson2520]

Nice tip! Thanks.

[@carlcarlton764]

Re: FN High Power It is the ultimate and last Browning. When John Moses gave the world the 1911 being the genius he was he immediately realized their was room for improvement. Due to a certain conflict getting in the way it wasn't until the 20s when he could get to work on perfecting his pistol design at FN. He never saw it perfected as he passed away in 1926 in Belgium. But his work was continued and it culminated in the: FN High Power.

[@jeremyharshey4974]

Wouldn't cost Ruger much in r and d to make the newer PC carbine with a wood stock and call it a new Marlin Camp carbine.... just saying.

[@Blimpie1000]

I have a Mossberg 44 and the sight that came with it was not complete. Havlin Sales had a replica sight for not a lot of money. I enjoy your site.

[@TheJHMAN1]

Camp carbine is popular in CA as it is not considered an Assault rifle.

[@larrybomber83]

Yeah, I had to buy the S&W 57 -6 because I missed my chance to buy one when I was in Germany. Being a 41 Mag guy, it took 30+ years but I have one. Mine is worth $2000 in my eyes.

[@Courier-Six]

I've never clicked on a video as fast as when i saw that Camp Carbine in the thumbnail. I've owned one for 3 or 4 years and love my Camp 9. Paid $800 for it and it was brand new without the box. Bore was a mirror, recoil spring was strong. Even the factory buffer was completely intact. It is such a fun little shooted and great for dealing with coyotes

[@kylemartin2594]

Enjoy your tutorials..5906 was eye opening. Have 2..

[@jackseymour5850]

Thank you every week putting out fire content weekly🔥 helps me keep up with prices and learn about different stuff thank you Chris !

[@BatCaveOz]

💯

[@geraldgilmore1177]

Love the cop guns and old war guns your doing a great job keep it up

[@OakCliffK9]

Never dry fire a Star BM. They have brittle firing pins that are notorious for breaking from being dry fired.

[@JonTheGiantChicken]

I love those 3rd Gen Smith 9mms. I have got to get a 5906 soon!

[@JayB-bq7hh]

I just bought a 5906 in cherry condition for under $400 w/3 mags..........heavy but love it !!!! I also owned a 659 , a boat anchor but awesome too !!!

[@marsagent21972]

Former NYPD and I carried a S&W 5946 which is similar to the 5906. It just doesn't have a safety. Love that gun. It was definitely heavy while walking a beat.

[@Ideo7Z]

I had a 5946 as well as a Model 10-6 HB that belonged to my gf's dad who retired from the job in the late 90s. He didn't want the guns anymore as he was moving to Costa Rica. That 5946 had one of the nicest triggers of any DAO pistol of that generation. Better that the Sig and light years better than the NY-2 Glocks. The 10-6 has an old world quality hand fitted smooth action that Smith and Colt couldn't duplicate today.

[@bglk2310]

Big fan of 41 Mag , just bookmarked the site , dont see either one listed yet. Looking forward to doing business with you in the future. Love the channel.

[@valleyhomeinspectors3839]

My Pop has a 4006 and I agree there is just something about the feel of them. Been looking at the 59s for awhile. Not sure which model I like better.

[@madacro5671]

I'm a freaking gen 3 Smith nut! Have quite the collection! Really want a 44 single stack!

[@bmstylee]

They are cool. I wouldn't mind having one in my collection.

[@Cameraman148]

I was lucky to find a 5906 S&W as a Police Trade In..It was like New No Marks and In a Holster Most of Its Life.. The Grips were Banged up and I had a Police Exception 15 Rd Mag with the Pistol. .From California...Bought a Standard set of NOS Grips and a Extra Mag...Love this Gun and Its shoots True. .would Love to get a Lighter Version, this One is a Beast to CC...Good Video as always !! Cheers.....

[@jil4162]

Another great video Chris! You look a little frazzled around the edges, and with all you have on your plate I pray that you are getting enough rest. God bless you & your family as I hope they are all doing well

[@Keithjmcc]

5906, love those. Good video. Thanks

[@granddad-mv5ef]

Find myself picking a star each week, today was a little different. Just too many candidates! So going to be completely subjective and choose the Model 57 8 3/8. Supposing I had one exactly like it, the only reason I would sell it is no worthy beneficiary. Just an outstanding group of firearms in this video.

[@wapiti3750]

Was depressed until I say this new video posted!

[@Bigdaddylobo1]

Above and beyond on this batch. Great episode. Thank you!

[@steveb6103]

The only problem with the Star is finding magazines. Luckily I got 5 with mine.

[@Machi74005]

Trivia note: The famous and late Sheriff Bufford Pusser's personal side arm was a .41 magnum revolver.

[@rodgerbrennan4523]

👍 Thank you for yet another great presentation.🙏

[@MOAONAABE]

jeremy renner used a marlin in wind river.. i would choose .444 sporter for an example of americana with attitude.

[@bradbrown9722]

I carried the S&W steel frame in the 90’s. Yes, they were alittle heavy (compared to our Detectives who carried Sig P226 handguns). I don’t know the relevance of this, but the magazines included with the S&W rattled like a pocket full of coins. Maybe it was the spring, I’m not an armour expert. I just remember a few of us shared that concern. And yes, the entire Dept switched to Glock in one full swoop lol

[@jacobs.9230]

I have seen those stars for sale in my area going for 550

[@ethanshinabarger4390]

I think your business model is something to invest in. Good luck. I hope you succeed!

[@chrisgolden2587]

I have a winchester 22 that only has stamps markes and no serial numbers I believe it was made in 1939 from what little research I have done

[@gentleoldguy4990]

In the early 70's I got the new in box Star BM. THAT is the ONLY gun I regret selling off after all these years! The gun was extremely accurate. I only ran Super-Vel ammo through it. Hot ammo and gun was a solid performer! I know periodically they pop on to the market. But, magazines are scarce to my understanding? Best to ya',,,,!

[@SlavicCelery]

Apparently ProMag is making them now....but that's ProMag. I might pick up a couple since I only have two mags with my Star BM right now. Love shooting it.

[@dholahansr]

Thanks. Love the history lessons. 🙂

[@BladeObssession]

My favorite Smith and Wesson revolvers were the Mountain gun especially in .357 and .45LC

[@warped8425]

It seems to me that S&W may have taken some design inspiration from the Star pistol. I am seeing very similar lines between the two.

[@BuzzzdLightyear]

Gosh I want one of those 3rd gen Smith's so bad

[@johnnail532]

I love my Star BM- accurate little gun with little recoil

[@tacosandfrenchfries4561]

The SW 5906 are cool!

[@mattypants1975]

I have wanted a 5906 for years, I found a 4006 CHP trade in locally a few months ago. I almost picked up that 5906 last week but saw the makarov and have wanted one of those for awhile. Maybe I can convince my wife I need to buy that one too

[@jamiebrierly3107]

I have a bushmaster be a 50 never fired I am getting ready to list, waiting on my FFL certificate and I’m getting rid of quite a few guns

[@rockystaatz521]

Good information. Sometimes even overpriced when made

[@daveditchdigger2111]

The Mossberg 44B .22lr is a truly accurate firearm. Tack driver at 100 yards.

[@billdubois5223]

Another great video Brotha ..

[@juniorb931]

thats an awesome Bushmaster BA50 would love to have me one

[@seangerbick6357]

Do you guys do any gunsmith stuff? I am over in Zionsville and have a few easy things I need done and have been watching you for a long time!

[@joshuagibson2520]

I'm pretty sure they do not. Strictly retail. I'd give him a call. I'm sure he can recommend you someone in the area since you're close.

[@MarksmanTV]

We don't, unfortunately. But I do recommend Zack at ZR Tactical. I take my stuff to him.

[@chrisleach4245]

Can you use the drum magazine from a tommy gun in the carbine?

[@jasonkeating9958]

S&W should have put the .41 magnum in a k frame and still should it would probably bring the round back into popularity

[@freedomwon2004]

I lucked out one day in Walmart. Back when they had a very nice gun department. They had ordered in a Marlin Camp 9mm but received a Camp .45ACP. The employee called the manger on duty because he wasn't sure he could put it out for sale. I waited patiently. Manger came over and said..."send it back". Of course I asked to purchase it. He called the Store Manager and they sold it to me for their cost instead of sending it back. New,in the box $305. Score. Yes I still have it. And lots of accessories. Perfect condition.

[@jacobs.9230]

i REALLY want to get my own 45-70 now

[@OpinionFromGenX]

My Bushy-50 has shockingly low recoil and is extremely accurate.

[@jepedayaw.wilkins5009]

You guys have any stainless steel magnum research 1911s

[@valqueenofValhalla]

I have the same 50 cal I shoot it as much as my m82 I love it yes woman love 50 cals to

[@44hawk28]

Strange how they bought those Smith & Wesson model 59 s thinking they were getting more Firepower and that the 38 and 357 revolver both provide more Firepower than that model 59. Mostly because people don't understand what the definition of Firepower is. Has nothing to do with how many rounds the gun has it has to do with the percentage of how many rounds are fired in relation to how many rounds took effect. That's the definition of Firepower. Making a 38 revolver the highest Firepower weapon on the street today, with a 357 close behind it. Plus you must also understand that the decocker is not a safety it was never designed to be a safety by anyone. Carl Walther design that 1929 to uncock the pistol.

[@ftdefiance1]

41 magnum sales may be hurt by ammo cost and avliabilty. However it's a great cartridge.

[@joshuagibson2520]

Elmer Keith will be talked about for centuries to come. I group him in the same caliber of men as John Moses Browning and Gene Stoner.

[@RockawayCCW]

After what happened to Kentucky Ballistics, I don't think I will ever trust a 50 bmg.

When I think 41 Magnum, I think dirty Harry and the automag. But then I remember that automag 41mag is a POS....

[@joelembcke8879]

Is there a website where you can buy these guns, or can you only buy them in your brick and mortar location?

[@kenweiss8565]

Well, if they are from Canada they are Can-a-dan-s; if they are Canadian, they are from Can-a-dia.

[@Perry2186]

they wernt all chamberd in 45-70 some came in 444marlin

[@MarksmanTV]

I was not aware they made the SBL in 444

[@ASPushkin51]

Was Model 57 the actual Dirty Harry gun, because 44 Mag was too much for the actor?

Its a shame you guys wont accept USPS Money Orders......

[@Yot-ri4sd]

History gun🔫👎

[@joshuagibson2520]

You're in the extreme minority. To better understand the gun is to better understand history.

[@MarksmanTV]

@@joshuagibson2520 100% agree. Many people don't understand that the gun has played a critical role in history. An invention which has been praised and denounced... Served hero and villain alike... and carries with it moral responsibility.

[@joshuagibson2520]

@@MarksmanTV oh my. Those words take me back!

[@scottstewart5784]

If only there was some way you could avoid watching things you don't like. But thanks for the input, here, among people who are here on purpose and love gun history. It's valuable info for us to have, this dislike you have of gun history. Thank you for your time and effort.

[@larrygrimes2056]

Yeah, they make 17 round now for 5906..medgar..

[@Andrewlikesguns]

That stainless Marlin is really nice looking. I'm on Gunbroker looking for one chambered for 30-30.
