NEW 629 and 686 NO LOCK MOUNTAIN GUNS ANNOUNCED!

[arjay]

That would look good with some elk or moose magnas and a t grip ;-D

Don't know if a 22 can qualify as a mountain gun but I would really like a 617 with a slim barrel. The full lug barrel on mine is needlessly heavy for a 22.

It had a short run.

617-6 Mountain Gun History?

I apologize if there is already links to these above, but some of the early links didn't work for me.

These new mountain guns are really sharp. My bank account is going to be crying this year.

What is TGW bear hug grips? These revolvers look pretty nice. Gold bead front sight,my favorite. May have to get a 686 7 shot MG. Welcome back S&W!

Kudos to S&W. I enjoyed reading the many varied opinions of the 3 classics in the other thread. Still lots of whiners tho. Mim parts, sheesh can we get over it? These 2 mountain revolvers seem like clear winners.

Good to see S&W making themselves relevant in today’s revolver market.

 

[Engine49guy]

I've never had a problem with mim parts
I'm also chomping at the bit for a 617 Mountain gun so will be holding my breath,
Already have pre lock 629 and 686 Mountain guns so will hold back so you guys can play catch up ( see how nice I am lol)
But if that 617 Mg shows up it's every man , woman and non binary unicorn for him (her, Zee) self. Wink.

Ps would also love a blue version of all the above if anyone at SW or Lipseys is reading this.

Tyler Gun Works. They're also providing grips for the new no-lock Model 10. While I'd like to see medallions in them, they already look leaps and bounds better than the too-thin Altamont laminate grips that have been on S&Ws for awhile.

Just when I was downsizing.

686 and 629 Mountain Guns no IL just listed on Smith's website

Looks like Smith is launching more wheel gun goodness.

 

[TAROMAN]

Also with 1 piece barrels, another step toward sanity.

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

Looks like the old style lockless frame too. Great News!!!!!!....I have these two and the 44acp & 45lc Mtn guns.......I'd walk through a be of snakes to get the 617 Mtn gun is they ever offer it again.

The Grips don’t really matter. I’ll replace them
with the appropriate Synthetic Rubber Grips.

Once you touch off factory full loads, you’ll
either replace the Wood Grips or quit
shooting that Mountain Gun.

Don’t ask how I know.

You guys can thank Jason Cloessner at Lipsey’s and the team for making this stuff happen. I know a bunch of folks here will find a reason to be unhappy, but for our team, we are exceptionally happy with the relationship with Lipsey’s to bring great revolvers to market.
If you are at SHOT, come meet the team at Lipsey’s. We will be there all day on Tuesday talking about the new revolvers.

I've wanted a 357 Mountain Gun since they discontinued them, and I saw an article (with photo) about them! It'd take all + of my stash, but I'll be looking for one. Maybe the Msrp will not be the final price? I might even buy one sight unseen online, and hope Smith has done us proud with the build quality..

 

[686PC]

Wow, now're talking... they brought the non-IL stainless L-frames and N-frames back! These look very nice!!!!

Can't wait to see where they go from here. It is a great time to be a revolver enthusiast. My wallet will not be happy though.

 

[Muley Gil]

FINALLY, an L frame Smith that I like!!!! I missed out on the first run.

Heck of a time to be broke.

 

[Shark Bait]

This could really be a turning point for S&W. I will definitely be supporting them and their efforts by buying several. I especially like the 686MG.

 

[murphydog]

At the last SWCA Symposium a nice young man from S & W attended and he heard loud and clear about what the other attendees would like to see for new product. The S & W UCs were in the pipeline then. Probably not a coincidence that these models have appeared.

Anyone besides the five SWCA members who've already posted here interested in joining?

 

[Glenn R. McMannly]

Are you paying attention, Ruger/Marlin?

You want to sell a bunch of guns, while cutting costs? Delete that stupid cross bolt safety on the lever guns!

(While you’re at it, stop the atrocious checkering. Bleck!)

Agreed so much. The crossbolt is dumb. Luckily there are companies that make replacement plugs that look just like another receiver screw with faux screw slots.

As for the checkering, I also agree. The 336 was meant as a utilitarian gun, not a glitzy luxury model. The checkering looks gaudy and no doubt adds cost for what should be (and isn’t) an affordable deering piece.
