    My New 617 Just Went Back to S&W for Warranty Repairs

    Have only had to send one back, TRR8 for light strike in D/A. Came back fine. Am sure they can fix your issue, no prob.

    My New 617 Just Went Back to S&W for Warranty Repairs

    "gouge across the metal of the top strap above the forcing cone" At first I thought I had the same thing after reading this. Straight groove across the top of the top strap above the cone. Tough to remove too, used a razer blade to filially get it off. But did look cut at 1st. :o Even after a...

    My New 617 Just Went Back to S&W for Warranty Repairs

    Good news. 350 rounds through the new 4" 617 today. 5 types of ammo. CCI Std, Blazer, CCI Mini mag, Fed auto match, and some old Rem.High Vel. No issues I am aware of aside from "Rear elevation nut sight on my 617 is frozen locked down from the factory" Double action is a bit heavy at 1st...

    My New 617 Just Went Back to S&W for Warranty Repairs

    Yikes, just picked mine up an hour ago. Will watch for that when it gets shot. I checked it out prior to purchase. Was focusing on the trigger , timing, finish etc. Now that its home I somehow completely over looked the ejector rod detent pin being proud to one side. Not a real issue, Some of...

    New to me 29-5 with 6" barrel

    When researching mine years ago found this old add, and kept a copy. Just seems to muddy the waters. LOL LOL And a pic of mine with the grip removed. Was told yrs ago these "runs were done for a large distributor, but there is no way to know for certain." So I never really chased it.

    Shooting a .22 Tip up

    Check the timing prior to use. lol lol If you plan to shoot.......... I have way to many other things to blast with. Not going to bother. My model 1 1st issue would be last on the list If I did. Would shoot a 1-3rd issue if I was forced to shoot one of them....

    The silver looks dull in most photos. But is actually pretty bright.

    My nemesis / #1 3rd type.

    I think Allen meant to report back when it showed up. (He gave me a heads up from my want add, but was already on my radar) Thanks BTW... The oldest 22 I shoot its a 1953 K22 Masterpiece. I have little interest shooting these. None actually. Am pretty sure they would all work, but dont see the...

    Yep, finding them is tough. Then, figuring out what to pay is also tough. Not sure if the 4th addition values are currently overly optimistic? under priced or spot on..... Again, not easy to tell.........Then there is how to accurately rate cond. But am semi new to these. So, maybe its just me.:)

    My nemesis / #1 3rd type.

    Not sure if there is much interest right now. There is with me though. So am now getting all the antiques I have been looking at over the past 30-40 years. Not as an investment. Just a hobby. And it seems to be a great time to be a buyer. Have picked up around 20 in the past couple months. Lost...

    My nemesis / #1 3rd type.

    Thanks, figured it had to be good-VG. As most of its silver survived. Also is said to have an excellent action, lock up and timing. With slight wobble. Just noticed its missing its front site. :o Not sure how big of a deal that is? I do have a 3rd issue parts gun handy. No idea if they...
