I think you are mistaken in your description. A 38 special is a 38 special....an old snub nosed 6 shot revolver .38 caliber weapon (more than likely made by smith & wesson). A deringer is a .22 cal side by side 2 shot weapon that has a breach (is broken open). There is no such thing as a 38 special 2 shot deringer....you're combining 2 different handguns.

Probably the maker's initials.\n\nUmmmm.... is it on the outside or on the inside? Is it really engraved, or is it stamped?

While I would like to own a class three weapon, I wouldn't ask such a question in an open forum.  Currently, the convenience store (BATF) is pursuing several legal gunsmiths for various reasons.  If they found out you did this they would be at your door.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nIf I remember correctly, the Winchester Model 70 hunting guns require a degree of up pressure toward the tip of the forearm, while the "OLD" Model 70T target guns had free floated barrels. The Model 70, nicknamed the "Rifleman's Rifle" was Winchester's Mercedes Benz of rifles, and it is doubtful they would have let a sour shooter leave New Haven!\n\nI would suggest the following:\n* Check scope bases for tightness (remember, be liberal with the "locktite" or iodine!)\n* Check to make certain the scope rings are tight on the scope bases.\n* Bore sight the rifle for 100 yards - NOTE: I just got a Model 70 in .270 ... I think it may be a featherweight synthetic or a "shadow", and I was not happy with the way it bore sighted ... the stud would not stay in place in the bore!\n* After bore sighting, fire a three shot group at the target, with the target set 25 yards from the rifle ... it should print very close to "dead-on" ... then go for 100 yards.\n* When zeroing the rifle, do so with a good sling, and perhaps a rest ... do not let the rest touch the barrel, only the fore-arm!\n* If this does not work, call the good people at Browning who are providing customer support for the defunct Winchester line ... they will probably ask him to ship it to their facility at Arnold, Mo. for repair. \n\nGood luck!

i have a model 70, clip fed semi auto.  it was bought new in the late 70's.  so i'm guessing your gun was made in the 50's or 60's.  neither one is worth much.

The proper name is the cylinder.  In shooting circles it may also be called a "wheel" ... for example, "He's a good shot with that wheel gun."

Sawed off shotguns. Wonderful little guns.\n sawn-off shotgun (British) or sawed-off shotgun (U.S.) is a type of shotgun with a shorter barrel (and often a shortened or removed stock), compared to regular shotguns. Also sometimes just called a "sawn-off" or "sawed-off", the weapon generally has larger spread and a more limited range. The shorter barrel would also make it easier to conceal — which combined with the aforementioned tactical characteristics have led to use for nefarious purposes, such as armed robbery. As a result of this, many jurisdictions have a minimum legal length for shotgun barrels.  the United States, it is illegal to possess a sawed-off shotgun (a barrel length less than 18 in. or 46 cm) without a tax-stamped permit from the United States Treasury, which requires an extensive background check and a $200 fee for every transfer. A new tax stamp must be purchased with every transfer of the short-barrelled shotgun, and transfers must be made through a Class III Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealer. State and local laws may entirely prohibit civilian possession of short-barrelled shotguns.

The second set of numbers represents the length of the brass in millimeters. A 7x ("x" reads "by") 57 means that the case, just like an 8x57 is just that, 57mm long. While strange by US standards, try explaining the meaning of 7-08Rem or 7-30Waters to those on the east side of the pond. I also have and love my 7x57. Very mild, but shoots good and flat out a lot further than I can see. My neighbor has a Mauser in 7x64. Wonderful round! Finding ammo is a bit problematic though. He forms his brass from .270Win Seems to work for him.

I checked my gunmarks book. I found nothing for that proofmark. Ae the crown and "G" together as one or separate? The 6.4mm equates to .25 caliber. Are you sure you do not have a .25 rimfire? Many thousands were made in the states in the early decades of the 20th century. Email me and I will check other sources in my library.

Good barrel, what type of paintball are you playing by the way? That would help a bunch.
