My 58 returned home today. Appears to be none the worse for its trip, the issue with the bluing salts hopefully resolved. Will see how it goes. My apologies for not posting pictures. Just can't seem to figure it out. Thanks for all your replies.

Call from S&W gunsmith (?) this morning, he has my gun to work on. He told me what I suspected and others here have said, bluing salts trapped in the recess under the sight are growing out. He does not want to pull the sight on the chance of doing something that would require another bluing. I...

Pics & more info Sorry to say, all I have are cell phone pics and they are real fuzzy. My logic in sending it to Smith, they made it, they still make guns that are generally good, so why not send it to the manufacturer? I thought I was playing it safe. The finish was very worn, but no heavy...

I decided to start my own thread, rather than impose on another's post. So here goes. I have a blue 58 that I bought out of a pawnshop around 1975. The gun was pretty worn, but I really liked it. I've not seen another in a gun shop since. Paid $125 for it if I recall. S/N S256833. It was well...

More thanks While I am thanking people, thanks to s&wchad for referring me to Gmac, who came up with the original grips. Thanks to all, couldn't have done it without you!!! Jesse47

Sorry, I have no idea how to post pictures.

A week or 2 back, I was looking for someone to help me with a grip issue It was my good fortune to meet a member, Rule3, who volunteered to assist me. A week or so later my new friend had the grips and started on them. He provided updates as appropriate, including photos. He sent me final pics...

Thanks guys. Look forward to hearing about other possibilities.

Can't find up dates for these two: Mod 64-4. 2 in S/N CAC8464 Mod 632-2, 1 7/8" S/N CMD 6246 I bought SCSW, but no go. Both came with rubber grips. The 64 is real shiny. Surprised me. This gun came with box and and indicated DOC, just didn't say which one Your help greatly appreciated...

Evening all. Just thought I'd drop a line on this topic. A few weeks ago, I sent my early 64 Model 58 for tightening things up and reblue. I have owned this gun for at least 40 years, and finally decided to get it redone. Gun came home 12-20-14. Made good time getting it back to me. I was...

OK still nothing but grips. How about a rusted,damaged or otherwise disabled gun I could buy for parts maybe? Even a solid lead would be good. Any help greatly appreciated.

Anything? Anybody??

I frame parts Looks like I may have some grips on the way. Still looking for everything else.
