Only looking for FTF in Georgia For sale is a Smith and Wesson model 36 5 shot .38 Special. This model has a flat latch and matching original wooden grips (grips are numbered to the gun). It's been a while since I looked it up in the catalog but I believe it was made around 1960. This gun does...

They do not. They have something stamped inside but not easily read like on yours. Also a difference I noticed is these have a metal pin in the front, which to me seems a little redundant since there's a pin on the frame of the gun. The more I look at it, the more I think it does in fact say...

Thank you very much. There is a ink stamp inside the grip thats mostly illegible but it does look like the last part of it says "mont" so you are probably right. I've adjusted my price based on this info as well

Sold Picked these up with a gun I bought today and find that I prefer the stock grips instead. I believe these were made by Altamont Price is $30 FTF in Lawrenceville Georgia. For +$5 I'll ship them (pay via paypal) to the lower 48. These will be listed on multiple forums. Grip screw and pin...

Decided to withdraw

Revised my trades and price a little Thanks, Matthew

Looking for a FTF transaction in metro Atlanta. I'm in Gwinnett County. Smith and Wesson model 36 5 shot .38 Special. This model has a flat latch and matching original wooden grips (grips are numbered to the gun). It's been a while since I looked it up in the catalog but I believe it was made...

Good points. Although I probably wouldn't put a ton of ammo though it, better to not have to worry about it. Thanks everyone

Hello all, I've been offered a model 1917 in a trade. Someone has cut the barrel down to just past the ejector rod, reattached the sight and refinished it. I also assume the lanyard hardware is gone as it has pachmayr grips. While I know this wouldn't have much in the way of collector value I'm...

Interesting idea, i took the side plate off and sprayed some cleaner in there but didnt really focus on the springs. Thanks!

Made what I hope was a good trade today, my S&W 915 for a model 36. The person I traded with said this 36 was his grandfathers and that he may be able to turn up boxes/receipts etc. which he hopefully will mail to me. Serial number is 13915X. If I understand the SCSW catalog right this puts it...

I kick myself on a daily basis for ever selling this gun. At least I didn't lose any money on it.

I agree, if you don't plan to carry the 686 wins easily. The 60 is a J frame which is much smaller than the 686 and only holds 5 cartridges. The extra size, weight and barrel length of the 686 will make .357 magnums much more enjoyable.

I apologize in advance if these kinds of postings are not permitted. I thought those on this forum might be interested in something I spotted today. Bullseye in Lawrenceville Ga has a .38 bodyguard for $499. It is blued, has a flat latch and diamond grips. I didn't take it out of the case but...
