I've had an itch for a S/A birdshead for some time.
Really need to stop reading these threads.
Really need to start getting ready for retirement.
I mean it this time...
Well...what better way to get ready for retirement?

Took delivery of the .357 Ruger Vaquero Montado today. Very nice gun. Beyond the expected, it came with an excellent set of matched pattern gunfighter rosewood grips. Still requires some action work to clean up the usual trigger creep but irrespective to me well worth the cost premium.
And then, I accidentally bought a 1942/43 production excellent condition Inland mfg'd M1 Carbine they had on hand. An 85th birthday present for my BIL/cousin. Korean war vet who has really wanted one for years. And yes, it is vintage. Not, excellent as they are, Inland new production. Provenance verification being one of the benefits of in person buying from a trusted dealer.
Now...dealer guy also has just taken in a perfect condition Smith .22 Model 63. Found it browsing in his show case. Regretting for years my selling off my blued version and not so much caring for the current version/replacement, I'm seriously considering........
This crap has just gots to stop!

So...I just from Bud's ordered me another! S/A Ruger. Blued Blackhawk convertible 4 5/8 in .45 Colt/.45 ACP. But at least this one's gonna have a trade off. I'm selling off my original what started all this insanity, 2001 purchased, unfired Old Model Vaquero...5.5" stainless .45 convertible...to offset this latest. I do still want a Ruger S/A capable of .45 Colt but with newest Vaqueros in hand I prefer to have it in a shorter barrel Blackhawk.
