MnMan trapper Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 8,902 Central MN, sort of old	I have and have had MANY older pre '64 guns but if I had to pick one that means the most to me it would be the old H&R model 999 Sportsman. Like Paul, this one belonged to my dad and is my favorite trapline revolver. I have used it as such for the past 60 years or so and it is the first handgun I ever shot when I was 7 years old. I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Still shoots as well today as when it was new. Full choke that shoots a very tight pattern. Besides all the game it has killed, it has won many many many lbs. of meat at turkey shoots also.

I think they are Old Model Stevens Model 311. Try google images and see if it looks like what you got.
