Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Did somebody say .38? K38 that is..

I don't have one laying around, but I'm pretty good at finding stuff.

That's $800 today.

You are Nostradamus.

TMD.

1905, 4th change, M&P made in 1915, some targets this has shot posted in the 38spl thread here. Not a K38, but it’s great, great grandfather. 😁

Holy smokes that looks brand new. Very cool.

Thank you, it shoots well too. Posted on the last page of the “ Does anyone shoot a 38 special?” Thread.
It is very accurate, especially when you consider the small sights.

It's a 5". My favorite length.

Yes. I've found them to be an excellent addition. They fit well and ship fast.

Hoe-lee Mackerel. That's a beauty.

i have tyler t's on a couple k frames. i use those or my favorite, ahrend retro combats. ahrend is out of business from what i hear.

Tyler should be if their customer service and lead times are any indication. If you just want to try a T, get a BK adapter, same shape but plastic instead of aluminum. Much cheaper and less time measured in days instead of months to years. If you try it and like it you can hunt up a Tyler to have a metal one.

I ordered a Tyler T-Grip on 18 November 2020. My check cleared my bank a few days later. I have sent them two inquiries with no response. STILL waiting on my order. Since making this order, I have discovered this is common practice for them. It is a con. God only knows how much money Tyler has stolen from people over the years. Some people claim that occasionally they will send out a shipment at random anywhere from a month or so after receiving an order to as much as a year later here and there to "prove" they are acting in good faith. No telling how many multiple thousands of these have been ordered and paid for and never delivered. That is why they do not accept credit cards.

Within the last few months I've ordered a BK grip adapter for a J-frame .22 and a Model 15 K-frame and both arrived in the mail within about 4 days. They went right on with no hassle and fit very well. Cost was $25.00 plus priority mail shipping to total $32.90 each.

I'd never tried a grip adapter before but really like them, they split the difference between the service stocks and full on target style - which cost an arm and a leg these days. They're particularly nice on the J-frame since the stock grips are much too small in the hand. The adapter keeps the slender profile but lets you get a full grip on it, positions the trigger finger better as well.

It's Tyler in name only; Melvin Tyler has been deceased for many years. The person who owns this is some jackass named Mathews, who also owns Mashburn Arms and Gun World of Oklahoma City/Del City, Oklahoma. Melvin Tyler actually had a brick and mortar operation on Britton Road in Oklahoma City and was always a standup guy. This Mathews character has a P.O. box in Newalla, Oklahoma.

As near as I can tell, you'll receive your item at some point. Not any time soon, however.

Did you already testfire your new K38/M14?

Probably while singing:

I don't want no teenage queen
I just want my M14

Elmer, Thanks for the motivation. It has been pouring here almost daily. Fred skirted around the corner on us. That was good news. Now, come to find out Grace is right behind. Geez.

I don't care for indoor ranges. So, that has limited the opportunities. Jones'ing here.

Here's to you finding yourself a nice M1 carbine. Clink. Cheers.

A salvaged and modified version:



Not as pretty, but it sure does shoot.

That is an amazing example of wonderful workmanship, Greg! Enjoy!!!


Frog---OUT!

So it appears that California had a five day waiting period all the way back to at least 1971. geez.

Thanks, frog. Hope you're feeling better, my friend.
