Buying a new safe and my "friend: the owner says, :hey, the gun you ordered came in (I had forgotten about it). He had two, this one and a short barreled version.... ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/k1gPpgy.jpg)

Looks like a heap of fun to me. I even like the plywood grips.

Was that what one might call a "left handed compliment"?

Well, do you remember promising that to me next trip to Pa?
I said, "I'll buy breakfast and pay half the transfer"?
Nice purchase.

I'll be in PA on March 4th. I have a business trip to DC so we're driving up that Thursday through Sunday to check our cabin...

Had them both in my hand and it was a tough choice, but my Target Woodsman is 5.5" so I figured 'd go 7". It was a TOUGH choice..

Nice. I was living in Midland Texas circa 1996 and would often drop by the LGS, "Between The Walls", and browse. I bought and swapped a number of pieces over a couple of years of living there. One day I dropped by to visit and saw an early 7/12" M41 laying on the counter "behind the counter"... I queried and he handed it to me, nice and about mint. Price? "I just took it in for $300, let me make 10% and it's yours". It became mine. Some years later Midway had a clearance going on 5 1/2" barrels for, IIRC, $175? I ordered one and with little work fit it to my frame. Another outstanding shooter. I need to drag it out as it has been a while.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

Very nice. I've never owned a model 41.

Was that what one might call a "left handed compliment"? Nope, I like the 41s, but a nice gun like that should get a real wooden set of stocks. Smith should know better. I've had laminate rifle stocks before, but they just don't flip my switches for long. Gimme real wood.

They are originally from Alexandria and Huntingdon. My FIL now lives in Florida. My wife has a cabin up there on 100 acres in Rothrock state forest.

Just got back from shooting it. I think I like my Colt Target Woodsman 6" better, but this is a lovely gun as well although it does not like fancy target ammo like Norma.. Shot Magtech and HK (all standard velocity) really well. Sights were a joy to adjust. I'm glad I bought the 7"

Jorge1: I also like the laminated wood grips - I have NOT seen one of these in person.
Good for you - enjoy.
I have shot MANY Model 41's but never owned one of my own - maybe theres time?
