Doc44- Was there any sort of finish restoration done to your 66? It looks so perfect...

I agree on the rarity here in the PNW: I've never even seen a 5-screw K-38 Target in real life, let alone in the condition you describe!

I'll take the 24-3 at $985 shipped. Sending PM...

I'm getting a little obsessed with finding that 14-6...

Maybe this is a dumb question, but is that nickel or blued?

Here in WA, that price would be a bargain. As far as sighting in goes, just use the distance you expect to do most of your shooting from.

I like the idea of removing the yoke and cylinder when cleaning, with the goal of reducing end-shake-causing wear. While the yoke barrel is easy to clean, the interior of the cylinder (cylinder tube?) is not due to the extractor rod. Would a product like Quick Scrub III work well for...

I'll pass on that one, thanks Steve.

I've got a 686-4 3" that I'd like to have some work done on. I'm a little leary of the occasional botched smithing job that comes out of S&W, and I'm wondering if there is any way to mitigate that possibility. Is it possible to contact the Performance Center directly to line up a service...

I've got some cash from recent sales of pistols, and I'd like to reinvest it in a nice S&W .38 or two. I've had a hankering for a 14-6 for a while but haven't had the opportunity to pick one up. A 14-5 would also be of interest. It's difficult for me to troll gun shows as I'm obligated to...

What dash # is this?

OIF2 - Did you do anything to the finish of your 67? Looks very satin-y.

Are the hammer and trigger assemblies for the 686-3 fully compatible with the 686-4 (6 shot)?

I am seriously impressed with the refinish. What was the cost on that portion of the work?

Some of the classics have a solid-back trigger. Is this a new verson of MIM trigger, or is it a forged part? The MIM actually bugs me more than the lock.
