Are the target grips K or N frame? How much are you asking? 252 648-0231 Dave

On the issue of Magazines & feed issues, the correct 7.62x39 mag has a greater curve and of course different follower. As well the rifle is made with a different feed ramp into the barrel. I choose to use Armalite since they were the source of AR platform rifles, And IMHO they are about as...

I would recommend sending it to S&W. I have had good luck with their gunsmiths, and trust them to do a good job. One possibility to check for would be a bent Crane (I believe it's called) Many people push on the cylinder to close the gun... I for one always press on the crane to eliminate the...
