Well they are replacing it, the new one is on its way.

What would you guys say the value of the gun is? I am worried that I will ship this one to em and get nothing...

After faxing them and letting them know this wasn't going away, they have agreed to send another one out. They don't seem to argue about the dremel assessment. Interesting...

Well it would appear that they are dodging my calls... No one answers when I call. They have til 5 pm to take care of this then its off to credit card dispute land.

When I look at it, it does look like a dremmel job... and that lines up with the scratch on the outside of the frame... And I wasn't going to post feedback here, but I thought folks should know what this guy is selling as NIB as he has other s&w...

Well I do have to compliment S&W, the fact that they would even look at it says something. I have a feeling that after this these guys won't be dealing directly anymore. How someone could try to pass this off as NIB is beyond me. And the guy has a great rating too. I am going to give him til...

Well my 317 came in and it is supposedly new in the box. Here is what I found: scratch on frame grinding inside? Course the dealer isn't responding to email on Gunbroker and since I told them I was emailing pictures they won't answer my phone calls... S&W said they would look...

you can, but after a while, the little j frame can get abusive. The idea is for the wife to run a couple hundred rounds thru and not worry about recoil... (and yes I know I could use wadcutters, but I don't want to spend hours upon hours pulling lead outta the barrel.

I just hope that the finish isn't a big problem. Does S&W warranty it? Thought I read that they won't cover finish issues anymore?

Pulled the trigger on the snubby. (pardon the pun) Shipped to my FFL it will be 565.47 ($549 + 3% cc)

Well, despite its downfalls, I am still leaning towards the 317 snubby as it will be a good "cheap" (ammowise) trainer. We have another 22 for target, and this is really meant to be able to hit the mark with the snubby. AND if the trigger is that bad, it will only be easier with the 442 or the...

This is what I don't get, for a $600 gun, I shouldn't have to do a spring job, and treat it like its glass. We love our 442 and 638, but it seems to me that S&W really dropped the ball on the 317... Might end up going with a 63, but we are way off on weight and barrel size...

That is what I have been finding also... I am leaning towards an SP101 in 22 and at least I will have something that will not peel with cleaning and will be accurate... Weight will be way off tho... I really want to get a S&W, just can't see doing it if its not going to be accurate and the...

I am looking to get a .22 to augment training for the wife and I (she has a 638 and I have a 442) I like the idea of the snubby being the "same" but I have heard that it suffers from heavy DA. Also, As a snubby, it will limit its usefulness to training. Has anyone else had to make this...
