Take the last shot first? Lol! Nice group!

No Dash 63 with Magna grips I have the grips and need a screw. Bought two and both were wrong. One I believe was for a K frame and stuck out of the right grip and is blue. The other is threaded from top to bottom and drops through both grips and is to thin to engage the threads. I read some...

I would like to buy a set of S&W factory wood Grips. Thanks for looking. John T

Thanks to all who have replied. John T

I really like those grips. Wow! your revolver looks like a new one. Makes me ashammed of how dirty mine is. Think I'll sign off and give it the cleaning it deserves. J T

What Kernael says ! J T

Actually I got it from a guy in the beginning stages of Parkinsons diease. He was no longer able to shoot. I think that's about what he had in it. He owed me a favor and I jumped at his offer. He is pleased that it's getting lots of use and that it went to a friend. J T

Thanks Guys for all your help. The search for grips is now officially on. Thanks Again, John T

Hi guys, thanks for your replies. Colt SAA I gave my revolver a second look and you're right about the cylinder being recessed. Don't know what I was thinking about. Hell to get old. Lol ! The serial number is M185XXX. It's in great shape and shoots like a dream. Double and single action...

Thanks all for your replies. When I say over travel I mean that the cylinder over rotates and doesn't lock up. Some time it does and some is doesn't. I have taken the screw, spring and cylinder stop plunger (Not really sure about the part names) out and cleaned and oiled, but with out a diagram...

Howdy All, I just picked up this revolver. The finish is mostly gone, the barrel has lots of rifling but is pitted and has no shine to it what so ever. It's dull grey and rough. It locks up tight when cocked manually, but over travels when the trigger is pulled double action. Trigger pull is...

New Guy From Kansas Says Thanks Thanks for the welcome guys. I look forward to reading your posts and asking lots of questions from you. John :)

Howdy All, I am new here and would like to say hi. I am a Smith & Wesson fan. I have several and can't seem to pass them up when I run across one. I reload for several calibers and shoot on a regular basis. I am really enjoying this site. John T
