Michael, welcome to the forum. I do the research letters.

I have not researched your gun but in all likelyhood it was ordered by a large dealer either in CA or MO and sold directly to the first owner or to a hardware store. If the gun was returned for repairs, there is a better chance of your grandfathers name showing up in the records. Most of the grade 3 guns or lower do not have names of the owners in the order but it does happen. I any event, it would be interesting to see where the gun was shipped and if it came back for repairs.

Have the gun checked out by a gunsmith. If the barrels are sound, you can safely shoot low pressure loads that are either reloads or made by RST.

BTW, we need more hammer gun shooters at the Challenge!!!!!!!!
