I feel like the idea of using it for leverage to get it cheaper may be the ticket. We dont see many 57's in my area. Ive only found two 58's and own them both. I have a 57 with a 4" barrel and its mint. Id love this one for carry and shooter. Its priced $850. Add the fact it needs a sight that...

Hi all, Im sure this has been brought up at one time or another My LGS got in a 57-3. Gun appears all original, finish, springs, etc, except the barrel is only roll marked on the left. There is no "41 magnum" roll mark on the right side. The revolver needs a sight as the previous owner put a...

Thanks for looking it up. Ill go ahead and get it lettered. Theres a lot of things going on with it for sure. I was afraid the repairs may not be documented

I mentioned "5.8" because a certain "know it all" told me they were 5.8 back then exactly. I generally use rounded off numbers to explain a gun. I may say 6" in a quick description and not 6.5. My original point was being made as it wasnt a short desired barrel. Barrel is exactly 5.9975 with...

Thanks again for everyomes help and replies.i knew it wanst pristine when I got it. Ill enjoy shooting it.

Im pretty positive it was a service revolver. There is a wear mark above the thumbpiece where a snap has been riding for many years. I will send off for a letter and see what it has to say. Im curious of its history. Im fine with the piece. Its neat and im gonna shoot and carry it around the...

Barrel and cylinder serial numbers match the frame

Well thanks for everyones input. Ill just keep it as a shooter and consider as lesson learned and let someone deal with the junky thing when im dead and gone. Ive got a NIB S prefix model 27 i always wanted to shoot. Ill let this pile of junk take its place instead lol Hope everyone has a good...

I felt the sight to be replaced. Ejector rod appears later as well. 58908 "star" with a register number of 4923. I know little about RM's but i can tell when parts arent "right" all i could find are those two. Im glad it was confirmed by you. Either way, im happy to own an RM for the price. You...

Dont go to hating me, but thoughts on refinishing it? Its a shooter so what will it hurt? Will S&W do it? George in Boca Raton is retired. Who other than Turnbull. Ive only had one revolver reblued in my life. It was a hand me down of my Grandfathers. Ive collected revolvers for 30yrs.

See if this pic loads correctly

It is a four digit reg number. I dont know why i said five. I think the serial number is five digits. Ive had a lot going on today..Ill know more when i go back tomorrow to pick it up. Hopefully its still there. Thanks again!

The yoke area is marked REG and a five digit number. My plan is to work a deal and buy it tomorrow. Once I do, i will post pics and info. When i said no registration, i meant that there was no paperwork as in it had never been sent in. I should have bought it today as ive never found an RM in my...

Hello Gents, I happened upon a registered magnum recently. Its the long barrel version. 5.8 or 6 whatever they were at the time. Ive collected a number of my desired numbered models and always wanted an RM and a TL. This example does not have the original grips, little to no original finish, and...
