To conclude this thread, pictures: Sorry about the annoying text overlay. I have seen too many pictures from forums used by scammers on Gunbroker and other websites to rip people off.

Thanks for all the help gentlemen! Fortunately, the ebay seller of the "S" marked bushing accepts returns. I reached out and they graciously said to return it, so off it goes. I just bought another. Looks in much better condition (different seller) so hopefully I'll have better luck. I just...

Great replies, thank you everyone! A few answers: 1) The "S" bushing (ebay bushing) is magnetic, so not stainless steel. 2) Definately a cast part. 3) The "S" (ebay bushing) is larger in both OD and ID. The barrel fits sloppily in the bushing. I don't own any S&W semi-auto pistols in 40S&W...

Placeholder for pics of 439 assembled. (I'll post back tomorrow)

Greetings! I recently picked up a Nickel 439 in nice condition except the barrel bushing which looks like it got hammered on. I'd like to replace it. I recently purchased one on eBay and of course it doesn't fit (too fat, will not insert into slide). Lesson learned: don't shop if you don't...

Gentlemen, I am relatively new to the 3rd generation S&W semi-auto pistols so go easy on me. ;) A recent acquition, a not beat to hell 5904 has a very VERY gritty trigger. With the slide removed and the hammer cocked, just pulling the trigger the final 1/2" there is an audible grind when I pull...

Woah! WOW! I joined this forum to find out more about a "shooter" 639 I bought a year ago that has ignited my love for Smith & Wesson 1st-3rd generation semi-autos... yours is a collection I aspire to one day own. Beautiful collection and thank you for sharing!!

Greetings to everyone and thank you! Happy Holidays!

Just bought a couple low dollar items from jsbethel, he treated the transaction like they were super expensive high dollar items! Excellent communications, fast shipping, well packaged to prevent damage. A pleasure to do business with. Thanks!

WOW! Thanks for the welcome from... everywhere! I just scored another nice used 5906 so I'll be trolling the forums looking for info and maintenance hints!

I will take these two items: 1. S&W 3rd gen 5900/4000 post-recall straight grip. 2. S&W Centerfire pistol manual. Very good condition - dated 10/96 Thanks! :)
