    Old S&W 638 with peeling clear coat

    This is what I did with finger nail polish. I even had time to do my nails:o Has some scratches in it but my polishing wheel is bad. I'll polish it later (maybe). Looks a lot better than it did. I wish S&W knew how to spray clear like they did in a view of those places. Man, Acetone was...

    Old S&W 638 with peeling clear coat

    Has anyone soaked their Airweight in Acetone to remove the old clear coat from their Airweight? I would like to strip it down the the bare aluminum. S&W should be ashamed of this awful finish they did on some of these guns. I never used any harsh cleaners on this gun. Only oil. :mad:

    Clear finish on J frame

    My old J frame 638 is looking pretty bad due to the clear finish coming off. Anyone ever tried to just remove all the clear off the frame? I can scratch it off with my nail it's so soft. Don't think you really need it if you polish the aluminium once in awhile.

    J-frame: Enough?

    That's a bummer :mad: My 638 was a *** when it was new until I took her down and cleaned all the aluminium shaving out of it and added a small amount of lube. Work flawless now :cool:

    Incessant cocking

    How about starting a 'dry firing' business ;) You could charge customers for ever dry fire.

    S&W is way behind on repairs

    I'll have to say that my first S&W purchase will probably be my last. Not only was my 638 purchased with aluminum shaving inside and no lub I also didn't receive a sorry from S&W when I wrote them about my experience. I really don't think they care much if they have your business or not. Not...
