I have a 6" 686-2 with an unfluted cylinder. Why do you think S&W made them both ways? Is one rarer than the other? I have not seen many unfluted except in this posting. Thank You

About a week ago the Walmart in Eureka, MO had a few boxes left of cci for 2.47/box of 50. They let me get 6 boxes. My wife came up and asked for the same and got them. Yea! Only the second time in over a year I found 22s at any Walmart. Got 3 boxes and wife 3 more at the same Walmart about...

Thanks, puts mine in '47 then.

Anyone know the first K-22 serial number made/shipped in 1948. I have K10184 and I was born in 1948.

Your thoughts please. Tried to buy a 10-6, very nice condition - probably 95% or maybe even better from an older gentleman I know. Does not want to sell but might trade. I have a model 64 in maybe 98%+ condition, heavy barrel, Pachmayr grips to trade. The model 10 has the original diamond...

Toothbrush piece sounds doable - but I cannot see how the pin idea would work in a factory dovetail. Am i missing something?

Want to thank all of you for these responses. Looked on Brownell's site but I was not too excited by the pricing. The epoxy route sounds good. This gun already has the dovetail and the 2 holes. Anyone ever use JB weld. It dries dark grey which would be fine for a truck gun and it can be...

Just picked up a model 67 - 0 that is missing the plastic insert in the sight. S&W said these were injection molded at the factory and that they did not even have the equipment to repair the older guns. I thought someone made or sold plastic in a tube or that you could mix to fix this. Any...

If i can make a deal I will post some pictures. Dennis

They have an $800 price on it. I told my local dealer about it and he thought I should of had it with me already. I was thinking about making an offer on it.

Ran across a K-22 dating from 1952 today. It was in the gold box and it was nickel plated. It looked 99% or better. I mentioned to the dealer that I didn't know that they made the K-22 in nickel. He said the owner who consigned it had sent it back to S&W to have it plated and that he has all...

Bought a Glock 36 and the next day went to Cabelas to spend my reward money and couldn't find anything I really wanted so ended up with the Gen 4 G19. Sweet little gun after adding adj. sights and the ghost trigger thingy.

The front sight on the '50 measured about .028 taller than the '47. This is only .002 taller than the difference in heights of the blades. Probably within the margin of error of my measurements. By the way both sights are screwed all the way down.

The 1947 (very late or maybe early '48) measures .100". The front sight on the '50 is quite a bit taller.

I just checked the 1950 - blade height is .126"
