I found out about these through another member's post and wanted one as soon as I saw it but they are unicorns,
having lettered it there were 5 of these sent to company in Minnesota for Meloniting and calling Smith they
indicated that based on the product number production numbers are in the single digits. I bought this from a
member here who had it on Gunbroker and IIRC he didn't get any bids so I made an offer and he accepted.
I believe I sold one of two integrally-railed 5906TSWs to fund the purchase. I think it cost me $900-1000
at the time.
I can't remember what the 5906TSWs cost me but I did find two at a local dealer who had a
very good relationship with a rep at Lew Horton's. I know I traded in a Bushmaster 20" A2 gov't profiled 1/7 rifle
I special-ordered for one because I knew I could sell the 5906 for more than I could the Bushy. Both the
integrally-railed 5906TSWs were sold to fund other purchases but I can't recall what I paid for each - I think
they were less than $850 but I'm not sure - the one I traded into was definitely less.
These are non-TSW 5946s. I'm also fairly certain we've got 4 of these accounted for from members here who
have them.
I found this second one at the same dealer where I found the 5906s as a used pistol - it had a slightly different
product number due to being used. I think I paid just over $850 for it and sold it almost immediately to another
member here for $925 but he was so happy to get it he actually sent me $1000.
I don't have any photos of the integrally-railed 5906TSWs but there's a member here who still has one of them
that I sold him so maybe he'll stop in to share pics. I never lettered one of those because I never intended to
keep them as I don't like DA/SA. When I called Smith though they said that based on product number there
were less than 100 of those (they won't give specific numbers, just ranges - at least in my experience.)
This same dealer also sold me a 5904TSW (bolt-on rail) and a 3914TSW. He's since given up his license but I
was always nervous going to the store because I knew there'd be something in the case trying to convince me
to part with my money.
