Well, I knew I was asking the right crowd. Thank you all for your input and help. I'll pass along this info to my BIL. Any idea as to approximate value of this firearm? I believe he received it from a woman whose husband had passed. If he sold it, he would likely just give her the money...

Thanks for the quick reply. Spain may be it, but I'd have to look at it again. I definitely think it's a knock-off from what I've seen so far.

I'm a little lost on this one. My BIL has this revolver and it sure looks like a S&W .32-20 M&P, but the marking are nothing I've seen before. Then again, my knowledge is limited. Any thoughts on what he has here? There was also a stamping behind the trigger guard that looked like it said...

I guess it may look a bit like a bubble level. This sight is designed for a Glock, but with a little filing, works just fine on the Sigma. They ship from the factory only with the white dot sight. Kent

My SW40VE was shooting very low out of the box. Thanks to all in this thread so far that documented this process, but especially to Ray1970. There have been some great pics so far, but I thought a few more wouldn't hurt. Kent Original front sight: Taped off the front of the slide to be...

I think if you read through this thread, you find there is no real answer. For some it's been 3 months and still waiting. I seem to be lucky that it was only 7 weeks. Kent

Had a little package in the mail today, and surprise surprise, it's my magazines. Mailed on February 22 and received on April 12, so 7 weeks to the day of mailing. Rebate Inquiry website still says "Valid Submission Received" with no shipping date listed. Kent

My new and unfired SW40VE has it also. Looks like a molding mark to me. Kent

I'd gladly give that 40S&W ammo a good home for you! Kent

I believe I mailed mine on February 22, and now that I've checked the website today it shows "Valid Submission Received" on February 26. I'll post when I actually receive them. :rolleyes: Kent

Serial number is on the body of the pistol, under the barrel. Just fill out the card completely, and mail it in. Probably wise to make a photocopy of your receipt and mail that instead of the original. Kent
