    ......STRANGE MODEL 14.........

    Jeez has it been 4 1/2 years since this thread was active? As promised and after a lengthy wait, in fact I had completely forgotten I had sent in a request it's been so long, I recieved the factory letter for my 4" 14-3 "Heavy Masterpice" described peviously in this thread. To my suprise this...

    Should I buy this 66-1 snub? Update - still there so I got it.

    As much as I would like to have a 19 or 66 snubbie that 4516 would have come home with me, especially with a discount.

    Need help with Model 28 value.

    Well done sir. If you like your 29 you will love your 28. About 10 years ago I was looking for a good shooter grade 4". After much looking I picked one up off GB out of a pawn shop in Florida. It was filthy with a slightly tweaked corner on one of the rear sight blade ears. After a good...

    Model 631 Snub - Gun Show Snag

    Very cool and unusual gun/grip combo. I don't think I've ever seen a pair of boot grip stags before. Something else to put on the shopping list!

    S&W Model 18 (1965) or nickel Model 19-4 (1972)?

    Can't believe you took the time to even ask! At $500 each both of those guns are well under current market value. The 18 includes the periphery items desired by "collectors" and would probably bring top $ over time. Although, the 19 is no slouch either. What else has he got???

    WTB: C&S Extreme Duty K-L-N rear sight.

    Been waiting for a year for Cylinder & Slide to stock their square notch fixed sight again but guess it's not going to happen. Tired of waiting to get started on my big bore snub project so the search begins for one through other sources. Prefer square notch but would consider the "U" notch...

    1953 Pre 18

    I've been wanting a M18 for as long as I've been into S&W revolvers. This one would scratch that itch pretty dang well! Nice clear close ups by the way.

    Refinish recommendations

    About to embark on a revolver project part of which is a refinishing. Wanted to pick the "collective forum brain" for some recommendations. This will be a working gun so the finish needs to be as durable as possible and it has to be my favorite color, evil weapon black. Something in between...

    Combat Masterpiece and a Old Watch

    Are you kidding me? An early 5 screw Combat Masterpiece for $350? Where are these deals when I'm around??? You sir got a highly desireable, at least to me, piece at a thief's price! Judging from the lack of finish wear on the ejector rod, and other indicators, I highly doubt the gun has...

    RARE MODEL 14 * still MORE pics added*

    "Man-O-Man, I would grab that in an instant. Need that 5" to fill a hole in my heavy barrel, square butt, K frame family right between the '52 6" K38 and the '71 4" 14-3. Then I would have to find a 3" "something" to go between the 4" and the '84 2" 15-4. Nah, never going to happen.
