Andy and I did business. He sent the manuals the same day I sent the money order. How's that for trust. Great communication. Great problem solver. Really a good guy to deal with. Thanks Andy!!

m9 instruction sheets I will take both of the M29 instruction sheets for 12.oo each.

Hi Bill, How does one know that this is a Model 57 case and not a Model 29 or 27 case recovered with crushed velvet? Thanks, John

69-1 hammer and trigger According to the Standard book of Smith and Wesson 3rd edition, page 257, the target hammer is .500, and the target trigger is .400. Hope this helps.

Hi, yes i have shot a 686 before, just not one this new. I have not shot this one YET, but you can bet I will. Hey, thanks for the replies. John

I acquired a 686-4, serial number BSP0xxx. It has the six inch barrel. The gun is like new. It has not been shot much. It came with the original blue plastic box, and the paperwork. My question is, did this gun come with a cleaning kit? If so, what type? Was it the one with the straight round...

I saw that the SAT was wrong, but what is the deal with the cleaning rod? I see a lot of S&W type cleaning rods with attachments ( loops for patches, jags). There were not attachments like that were there. I did not mean to hijack the thread. Thanks John

I have checked the rod and it is tight. I even went in and took the bolt out and polished the face. I started to file down the flat surface, so the rod part would stick through the frame further. But have thought better of it. I may just take a little off the face of the rod and see if that...

Dan, I don't understand how the strain screw has anything to do with it. Please advise. Thanks, John

I have had the cylinder off. I remove it every time I clean the gun. I don't think it's due to grime under the cylinder. I have had this problem with a 629 and a 66 in the past. Didn't know if it was a characteristic of stainless or not. Thanks for all the replies. I really do appreciate it. John

I'm sorry, I should have put that in the post. That was the first thing I did. Thank you for the reply. John

I have a model 686 that won't open as easily as I think it should. I have had this problem in the past on some other stainless guns. But, this one is the worst. I have checked the cylinder rod and, its tight. What else do I need to do? Thanks to all that reply. John

I am looking to buy an aluminum SAT for the 44 magnums. I prefer the eight or nine ring knurled. I am also looking for paperwork for the Elmer Keith commemorative and the S&W Texas wagon train commemorative. Please send emails to [email protected] Thanks in advance for any info. John

Hey, Golly gee!! Thanks for all the info. I really do appreciate it. Thanks Joe, for the pics of the boxes. I'll bet they cost a chunk of change. Thanks again everybody!! John

Thank you GLL. Do you or any one know what type cleaning rod came with these? Thanks again!! John
