It has to do with the early no dash and dash one models. They have been recalled to fix primer back flow issues. S&W changes out the firing pin and the....I'm drawing a blank....the dohicky with the hole. They then stamp an "M" in the crane above the model number. Since mine is a nodash taht did not have the "M" stamp the shipping both ways was covered by S&W.

Thanks for posting, pretty interesting. TACC1

That I can do, I'm dying to get to the range this weekend and give it a test drive.

I'll look forward to a range report when the time come 'round - 'cause I know you'll be shootin' that gun!

Yup, it was built to be a shooter. Since its been reworked it has no collectors value and will always be a redone 586.

When the bill is tallied up to this point I have right around 6 bills in it, I figure the night sights will run another 90 and the extra cylinder milled for moon clips will be another $150ish and then the leather will run around $150-200 for a carved Tom Threepersons.
I know I'll never recoup the money I put into it, but then I don't ever plan on even trying.
