Anyone see the model 10 frames J&G sales has for sale? It’s a round butt frame with no barrel. I suspect since these guns originally had 2 inch barrels they are not legal for import.
Smith & Wesson 10 Revolver, 38 Special, No Barrel, Round Butt, GSS, CAI Mark, Used, S&W.
I ordered one out of curiosity and since I have a pretty rough 4 inch barrel and cylinder that would match the expected finish.
The one I got was a 10-7. Nothing worth taking a picture of, very rough and abused but not a lot of evidence of firing. If you didn’t already have extra parts I’m not sure if these would be worth it. The importer stamp is inconspicuously located under the trigger guard.
I screwed on my 4 inch barrel and threaded in the longer ejector rod and here’s what we have. For about $200 I don’t know if it’s good or bad. I really wanted a gun to try rust bluing and I think this will make a good candidate.
