Thanks again for all your kind responses.
Kcub, I did mail him, thanks a lot for the address. Winchester, thanks a lot for mentioning Jay Scott. I think that is the closest I have gotten- in fact, already found a pair so similar that I am going to get them as a meanwhile solution Still, I am going to mail Herrett the pic and ask them- they could be Troopers with a lot of custom features. I think they are too coarse to be Farrants. The hunt is always fun |

Surprise surprise, my mystery stocks seem to actually be very early Hogues. Good luck finding those. I guess I'll have to make my own.

So the mystery is solved. Maybe you will find a pair on ebay.
out of curiosity, how hard is it to get a good quality DA revolver in Venezuela? I've always wondered what prices they brought, and how they get there. Whats the gun market like down there?

In the late nineties, as Venezuelan politics turned a somewhat carmine hue, things changed radically. Importation dwindled, and all you can buy new today is Taurus. And in fact, you can't buy anything new today, as there is a one year moratorium in the sale of firearms which is thankfully nearing its end. Prices of handguns is about double of what they would cost in the USA, with two excpetions: old fine guns are cheaper here (a fine but not mint Python, M29, or M27 can be had for about $700; my not-that-bad M30 from 1959 was about $150), and Glocks, that are insanely expensive (about $1,500 for just about any model,used) Last edited by micromontenegro; February 16, 2013 at 09:56 AM. |

Once you get bitten by the snake, you become one with the snake.

I own two Glocks. Just think I have close to $3,000. Well if I was in Venezuela that is. That is incredible though. So is that an indication that Glock is very popular, very hard to get or both? |

Very interesting. Got to be careful about getting off topic though. After all this is the Revolver Forum. But I always find it interesting to learn about differences in other nations. For example I have German friends (in Germany) who find it very amusing that the model Hedi Klum is so popular in the U.S.Don't really know if she isn't very popular in her native country or what. I know Heidi Klum isn't a firearm, but I'm sure you understand what I'm saying. There are differences.
