You might want to keep those stock steps and other factory takeoff's lest you decide to trade it in for a newer one in a few years..?

Also, not to get off topic, but it looks like you have stock/premium wheels painted black on the inside? Am I seeing that right?

One little problem, it's a S&W 460
About $600 for the two grilles and about $1050 for the steps.

As far as the .460 goes, that is not a 'little" problem...I just keep mine in the console.

The steps don't interest me that much so if I sell them I can recoup a few dollars back toward the AMPs. The grille I had to cut out to mount the T-REX. The big chrome [=] and the FORD billboard are still good. They hang on my wall until someone needs them. I'd sell them for a mere 75% of what Ford gets for them.

As far as trading in the truck goes, it will probably be my widow trading it in for a coffin only because the cemetary won't let her bury me in it.

They are stock Lariat 18" wheels and it is a drak gray paint.

You have great taste in guns and ammo. I shoot the Hornady 200 grain hollow points too. I'll have to take a picture of my 460. How may thing have you set on fire with yours?

Great pic, LOL, it truly is a hand cannon.
I really like the look of the solid cylinder on your 460.


The first time I sighted in the scope, it was a bright sunny day. I had an old towel covering my bench rest, and after 3 shots, the towel was shredded, and turning black. It was so bright out, at first, I could not see the flames.
That's when I decided to get the bipod.

Thanks if they work in PA then I have nothing to worry about... lol

Thanx for the answers. O! M! G! Now that has to be the mother of all hand guns. I shot a 50 with my uncle a couple years ago, but didn't have muzzleflash like that. Same Uncle left me with a 45/70 gvt Marlin L/A
