Oheremicus, a lot of truth in that, have heard the old Smith's were built like a tank, remember seeing one in the classifieds here that sold for a little over 600 bucks.


Other than the perceived need by some for a ramped barrel, what does a new delta lack?


Funny you mentioned the perceived need for a ramped barrel. While I was waiting to get my Delta years back, I heard about the Colts not having good support for the 10mm case. I bought a Redding push through sizing die to remove the smiley in the fired round. I have shot thousands of hot rounds using Starline brass through the Delta. Never had to use the Redding die. Keep it at or under SAAMI and there will be no problem.

Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.
