Hey folks sorry to bump this but I just got these screws off the Midway website. I was going to replace the one in the top strap and file the bottom end down to fit flush. Did I get the wrong ones? They thread fine but the head of the screw up top sticks out more than the one the gun came...

I know how you feel OP. I haven't even shot mine. Waited weeks to get it. Scratch on the top strap near the rear sight. Multiple spots of rust where the crane folds into the frame. Totally unacceptable and very disappointing.

I saw that post actually thanks. After finding what looks like rust on the gun, the small scratch near the rear sight, and now needing to buy and file down screws. I called this in. It's going back fedex for service. I'm disappointed but hopeful they fix these problems.

I looked at mine and bottom of the screw leaves only about a millimeter or so before it would be flush. Is that really all it takes? It must be perfectly flush? EDIT: This looks like a rust spot on a new gun. :/

This is great news. I just got this same gun. Bloody wonderful. Can't just go out and fire it without burning right through the finish. Super!

What a beauty! Got the grips on tonight. Oiled it and wiped it down. Looks line it was worth the wait. One small scratch on it not sure who did it. Wasn't me. Perfect otherwise. Scratch is at rear of cylinder near rear sight. Edit: wrong subforum. /facepalm

We're good if it is in the trunk and unloaded.

We can do it IF: We bring the firearm down there with us. My wife takes the firearm with her and goes to the FFL with him. He passes and they keep it for 10 days. Because she is direct family we can do it. That said I am going to be calling a couple weeks ahead of time and making sure I find...

Who knows? I suppose it is possible. It would be an extreme minority of people willing to do something like that though. To do that would basically be tantamount to murder. A child could be killed in that situation even. It takes a true sicko to do something like that. Thankfully not that...

It will be a private gift not a sale. EDIT: Off roster firearms can be gifted or transferred privately. No need to convert it to SA only either. Only question to me then is must I have an FFL check run on him when I gift the firearm to him. And if true must that check be done in CA or can...

I am getting a set of these and they should be on the way later next week. Dark cocobolo from Culina. I'm thinking they should look pretty attractive on a blued revolver.

Bummer. Sounds like I'm screwed then. I could always risk it by shipping it and not declaring. If it got lost and found I'd be in big trouble. :/ Guess he's going to have to wait.

I was there this morning looking at n frame grips. Found a couple but they were 80-90$ used and they wouldn't come down. Didn't want them that bad so I left. Seems to me it is either malice or ineptitude. Dealers who don't clear them before displaying are one thing but it still takes someone...

Greetings everyone. I have decided that I'm going to get a Model 29-10 for myself. And give my lightly used 629 stainless to my father in-law. He lives in Folsom CA and I live in MT. This is a gift and I'd prefer to simply ship it directly from here to his house. Is there any way to do that...

Looks like I'll have to be patient. No Culina or Ahrends in stock anywhere that I want. Seen a few possibilities on ebay for S&W factory targets but they are stupid expensive for what you're getting. And wow the Keith Brown ones are $350+. Could take a chance on the Thai $70 ones off amazon...
