Ducati. I don't think Grasshopper has been back before, but maybe he has. I met him once out at Hicksville. He was a character, but seem like a good dude. Mostly.

Ah. Ducati must have been before my time.

What entity owns the Georgetown Municipal Airport? (KGTU)

I am in industrial real estate operations and trying to identity the owners that operate KGTU. It is a city owned, public airport but I am not seeing pension fund/management information anywhere. Does anyone have information on the ownership of the Georgetown Municipal Airport?

And then to this

How to find an oil rig dive in the Gulf of Mexico?

I am told that the Gulf of Mexico is known for its deep water dives off of oil rigs. Are there outfits that host these dives? Are there any popular dive companies in the Austin area?

Serious question: did S&W actually sell these with no rear sights?

Also @benenglish I vote for a separate section where mods can move failed for sale ad's to serve as a warning to others. Post a crappy ad and you will be remembered forever.

Yes, they did, as a Model 581, not a 586. The 581 also had a shorter front sight than the one the seller/OP had on the one he posted for sale.

Yes, that was what I posted in the thread. I was thinking it might have been a 581 that was stamped 586. That was before the picture showing the screw holes for the rear sight.

Moved and renamed. Feel free to cite other examples of how sellers can screw up and drive away potential buyers.

I had been thinking Andiamo's and AttaBoywhatever's threads were designed simply to draw attention to themselves. Hopefully this is the right call and they don't return.

Much like Herpes or Gonorrhea, unless treated, it's going to keep coming back.

I have heard that they make an ointment for that now.

That picture just confirmed my suspicions it was 586 missing the rear sight. I zoomed one of the pictures, and there was very clearly a notch at the rear of the tip frame where the target would have been. If I'm not mistaken, a 581 would have that area rounded off, not notched.

Really? STD analogies, today?

Hey LS,

That would be a Model 581...Blue "L" Frame. .357 Mag/.38 Special. Fixed sights.....

Similar to the Model 58. Blue "N" Frame. .41 Magnum. Fixed sights.

Hope this helps.

Later, Mark
