    Regular wear or maintenance issue - 28-2

    I mentioned in my note that the ratchet located on the ejector star had dings present and that I wanted it addressed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Regular wear or maintenance issue - 28-2

    Fellow members....I recently acquired a 28-2. The gun is in time and locks up tight but when looking at the contacts of the ratchet they appear to be dinged. So just to ease my concerns I sent it to S&W and they sent me a quote for $118 for revolver repair/tune up. I had the work done and the...

    686 prices

    I have 2......a no dash and dash 5. Both were $500. Bought the dash 5 last year as a police trade in and I’m leaving it as a truck gun. The no dash I had the performance center bead blast it and do their combat revolver package. It isn’t going anywhere...... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mysterious Copper Colored Circular stains or Corrosion on 27-2

    I picked up this 5 incher about a year ago for $800. These stains etc are mostly just below the barrel rib and I can feel them with my fingernail on the guns surface. Brass wool didn’t seem to phase the marks so what could this be and what would fellow members suggest? Sent from my iPhone...

    I'm not a collector. I'm a storyteller.

    I’m all about the hunt...local pawn and gun shops have been great places to be at the right time. I’m 37 and I’ve found many bargains in my younger years and sold or traded them. There are some K frames, n frames and hi powers I wish I had back now. I just recently a week ago found a 14-2 6...

    Trigger not returning to starting position

    Thanks for all the info. So I fully disassembled and reassembled all the innards and we are good to go. I did turn the rebound spring around and reinstalled it. Something must’ve been off a tiny bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Model 14 restore

    I have rust blued some shotguns but never a handgun. What supplies does it take to get the finish of a handgun in the white? I just can’t find that magical tool, wheel etc to use on all of those angles.....can you point me in the right direction? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cheapest Smith ever - in last few years

    A buddy of mine who had done some jewelry repair for a customer told me he was going over to her house to look at some guns her late husband had owned and she was trying to sell. I went with him and she had PPK style 380 and a Model 66 with targets. He got both for $260. Sent from my iPhone...
