Bought a set of Nill K frame round butt conversion grips but they don't fit my Victory model correctly. Rather than try to modify them I'd rather sell them and try a different style. Ordered from Nill directly so returning would be a hassle, Mactec Sales has them for $162 plus shipping: SW0368...

Kind of a shot in the dark but seems one just sold last week on the boards here so why not. Been looking for a Benelli B76 (or any of the other variants), if you have one you're interested in selling let me know. Also very interested in a Model 14, preferably C&R. Looking for 6" barrel with...

PM'd with offer!

Thanks again for the helpful advice! Today I did a very thorough cleaning, and also followed DCWilson's advice to lubricate the trigger group. I also noticed the cylinder rod was a little fussy about rotating cleanly so I cleaned and lubricated that as well. Now it seems to run great, no further...

Thanks for all the info and advice! I gave the front of the cylinder and the back of a chamber a really good scrubbing and it seems to be a bit better. I think despite my initial cleaning there was still some 90 year-old grime built up there that was impeding movement :o I'll try to clean the...

Hi guys, I just picked up this old S&W .38 M&P? Pre-Model 10? I'm not really sure what the proper nomenclature for it is. Serial # on the cylinder face is 4822xx. Any info on exactly which model it is would be great. Also, it seems to have a bit of a problem unfortunately. The gun...

Just a quick update and one more question; after soaking for days in a penetrating oil, then trying again for a few more days in WD-40 I still cannot remove the plunger. This guy is really stuck! I spoke to Smith & Wesson and they sent me a Fedex label for free return shipping to their service...

Great, thank you. I picked this up with a Model 52 which I haven't shot yet... hopefully it will function without issue! But just wanted to say that this forum has already been invaluable in gathering information on these two firearms as well as the Model 10-5 I picked up a few years ago. Thanks...

Thanks everyone for the helpful replies! I thought it looked like the top of the plunger but just wanted to be sure before I spent a lot of time trying to get it out! I'll keep soaking it in penetrating oil and working it a little until I get it out. Tom, according to the serial it was made in...

Hi all, I just became the proud owner of a Model 41 pistol. Shoots great when it runs but unfortunately it has serious extraction problems. From what I have found searching online it seems to be a common problem where the spent case gets turned around without being fully ejected, blocking the...

I recently purchased a pair of Sile thumbrest grips for my Model 10-5. Unfortunately, the original screw was not included and the stock screw is too short. Anyone know where I could find a replacement? I've looked through Gunbroker/Numrich/Brownells etc to no avail. Thanks!
