Started rebuilding a 6906 and find I am in need of an original S&W grip in decent condition. Anyone have one they would be willing to part with.......cheap! Thanks.

chiming in......I just got my second 3913 off of GB for four bills, in the original box with both mags and exceptionally clean, I mean ....pristine! my first was a little cheaper several months ago, no box but just as nice. The guys at the FFL shop were drooling. definitely keepers when you...

Big Lou....Thank you. Always nice to know when they were born. is there a place I can submit other serial numbers for their birthdays? pete

Need help on a S/N question. I just took delivery on a used 4516-1, no box. I am curious about the serial number which can either be TVBIxxx or TVB1xxx. It clearly is a stamped capital "I" and not a "1" and is in the fourth position of the S/N. On all my other S&W 3rd gens, ones (1) are...

my 3913 has a lug (ring) completely around the barrel which fits into the slot milled into the slide. Your barrel (fuzzy picture) appears to have this lug missing but there is some sort of ring looking line. Your slide has a lug groove just forward of the slide ejection port. Maybe S&W...

Looking to replace MIM parts with real steel (stainless). Must be compatible with 3913 and/or 6906, reasonably priced. I can modify DA only triggers. prefer spurred hammer, bobbed okay. Been watching GB, but nothing available out there. Have one spurred hammer, one bobbed and two DA/SA...

my two cents my first 3rd gen was an immaculate 4006. since then I added a 5906, two 4506's, a 4516-1, and today a 3913. they are great will built guns, shoot great, are easy to take apart and put back together, will last a lifetime and then some if properly cared for. the only downside is...

looking for spare parts in stainless steel to install on my 4006, specifically to replace the (MIM) spurred hammer and trigger. Can anyone point in the direction of a possible source, new or used? Looked on the Brownell site, but they are listed as MIM. also, are parts for the 39xx, 59xx...

Looking for good condition S&W factory Straight Back Grips for 4006 or 5906. PM or email. Thank you -Pete

Anybody have a spare set of straight back grips don't want or want to sell? Email or PM me.

thanks to all my stated price included shipping and ffl, so the real sell price is probably in the proverbial ballpark. Unfortunately, the resale prices for 686's are all over the map, with seemingly no rhyme or reason for price relative to the comments regarding condition. I am really more...

I am considering a 686-0 4" purchase for $500. Can anyone enlighten me if this is a good value, and provide any other relevant details. I believe it is pre-lock and pre-MIM. Thanks in advance

is this the same offering for $475 on another post? would consider shipping to VA? I have a 4506 looking for a brother. thanks in advance.

this gentleman was very helpful in providing the date my 4006 left the factory. "Valenze, David" [email protected]>

New to the forum and look forward to hearing from other S&W affectionados. Just took delivery on a very clean used 4506 to go with my 4006. Mack truck meets Peterbilt. Hope to take it to the range this weekend weather permitting. Looking to add a 5906 in Jan to round out the set. Anyone know...
