I assume this is either the S or SS model, if it has a mag safety it's the SS, which GS is easy to remove. Very fine well made handguns, sadly Star is no more. I have both the S and SS, but no Super models. My S model is more accurate than my PPK/s, surprisingly enough.

That model without a rib on top of the slide is getting pretty hard to find, please people, consider the value and rarity of a handgun before altering it. I have one just like that, and also one with the "W" spring for the slide stop and safety detents. I don't care what anyone says, these are va...

BTW, I'm amazed at how difficult this weapon is to disassemble, and hear that the Colt 1903 and 1908 are even more challenging. Trying to get the Remington back together I started to feel panic! But eventually I figured it out. I hate that feeling! I really appreciate this video, THANK YOU!

Yeah, 7075 is better than zinc, but still not what I want to see in a firearm. I'm the owner of a CNC job shop, so I know a little bit about alloys.

It might be better if I didn't, since American gun makers keep making guns out of metals that aren't equal to 4140 or even 1045. Aluminum has a ve...

@Prussia75 I'm not religious. Religion is man attempting to reach God, Christianity is God reaching out in love with an offer of forgiveness to man.

@downeastgunworks It's much worse than just that rod, the slide and/or the frame is also made of pot metal.

Decades ago they called Zamak (alloy with 96% zinc ) guns, the Raven and Lorcin type guns they used to call "Saturday night specials". Now, for some reason, high end makers are stamping th...

Genesis 12:3, Ron Paul is not my choice, no way.

Read Genesis 12:3, do NOT support Paul!

Does Iran wish for good things for Israel? If so then we should support Iran. If Iran wants to murder Jews then I'm rooting for Jewish self defense. We saw it once, 1936-1945, NEVER AGAIN!

I really doubt that this shaper ever looked that good when it was new, great job of restoring it. Too bad it is at the opposite end of the country from my shop.

In the end God's word will be proven true, every word, including the prophecies of the end of the madness of man's rebellion against God and his Christ. When Christ Jesus returns he will rule the world from Jerusalem, all the people's of the world will instantly abandon all demonic philosophies a...

@Polybun You hope someone dies of cancer? I can hardly believe anyone would say something like that.

@mad291 You may want to get professional help for that. Most people wouldn't think that way.

@piutesteve Not good, I'm awaiting surgery for a two + year old back injury, after which I hope to "wake up" from pain meds to complete a lot of obligations, including the two Whitworths. I'm having trouble getting anything better than concept sketches, would love to find actual drawings.

20 years from now, after it is revealed that long term brain damaged is caused by exposure to magnets, this will be camp video.

hahaha!

"does the gun fire before the hammer falls?" Sure looks like it to me, must be some alien involvement, you know, anything we can't understand has to be aliens. Seriously though, that's weird.

I'd bet there IS some thrust to that, there has to be, after all, you are adding heat to compressed air causing expansion and rapid expulsion.

Yes, this is just another proof that Mr. Carter is the second worst president the country ever had, he was knocked off the top spot by his true marxist brother Mr. Obama.

We should gift Rosie to Mexico or Cuba or some other totalitarian country she seems to admire. Evil witch!

Rosie is the worst kind of idiot, a talkative one! I wonder if she has ever has even one rational thought?

Rosie typifies all the mindless godless left wing chaterboxes who clearly do not understand the Constitution and feel no shame in trying to destroy our way of life.

More Tom, and much ,much less of that pompous small minded Rosie, please!

@isaazman123 Your definition of the word "Christian" is subjective, my bible says "Thou shalt not murder", so any "Christian" who disobeys God's word should probably be described by some other name.

I just bought one exactly like this, NRA Excellent. Thanks,

Oprah is one of satan's most powerful false prophets. The Creator who spoke all of this universe into being is certainly able to present us with his pure Word, no need worry about anyone rewriting it, God makes sure we who seek him get to hear his Word, for "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing b...

@altryall You're not wise, socialism is for murderers. hitler was a scum soaked socialist but the much truer socialist was stalin who murdered his own people in numbers hitler only dreamed of. The bible says thou shalt not steal, but all socialists love to steal what enterprising capitalists have...

@Freedom3777 You are right of course. One of my employees here in the west coast USA is 35 years old, he had never heard of karl marx. What kind of school system puts out graduates that don't know what communism is? The same one that supports barack hussein obama, our great socialist messiah. (pu...

@silver760 No difference to me, I like to see the engines working, I've seen steam blowing off the teapot. I don't understand the sentiment, but your not alone in it.

I'm having one of mine restored and am looking for a barrel replacement. Any ideas where I could find one?

@JTMarlin8 Youtube really shows what is inside the "minds" of some folks, and the revelations are painful because one hopes the others are around him are "good" people. The truth is that the average person is far from being close to good if you peel off the covers of his mind. Youtube reveals tha...

The unusual part is the reversing, right?

Was this made from the castings that are for sale?

Did you mean manufactured in 1862?

Very quiet, I have an Orr & Sembower that looks just like this, but it;s missing the rectangular base yours has. The more I look at it the more convinced I am that it is an O&S. Mine has a 5X5 B/S,

Were there not thousands of small machine shops that made 2 or 3 engines during their whole existence? I know that they did things back then that most of us wouldn't now, because labor was so cheap. It's hard to imagine making the patterns and castings for only a few engines but I think that happ...

Lovely!

@chicagobrcvp Sorry for the angry comment, I was forced to join a union once and hated the way they took my money and gave it to commies like obama. No personal offense meant, you just probably don't know the truth about communism.

@steaminon1 I have seen this kind of comment many times before and frankly I don't understand it, if it will run on air it should run on steam, and air is much more convenient and clean. I'm in the market for a boiler because two of my engines I acquired for power production, not display, but to ...
