Thanks for the replies. I sent pics to S&W and the CS manager stated that it was “normal” and not to be concerned . I guess it’s just a machining issue. In any event, this is a great find and I’m super excited about it. Very nice action and feel to it. Great trigger too.

Hello all, I just traded for this 2000 manufactured 629 Mtn Gun that recently arrived at my dealer. Action and trigger are excellent. My only concern is this tiny scratch on the outside of the barrel where it goes into the frame. It’s not that a scratch is a big deal on a used gun, but I do...

D is on the way. I also added these for my 686. They are Kingwood.

Thank you all for the thoughtful comments. I’m going with D. I appreciate the help.

Both Cocobolo?

A bit bigger in my opinion. They have a palm swell and are slightly longer.

I have a 629 Deluxe. The factory grips are attractive, and I plan to keep them of course. However, I love the woods from Hogue and I’m trying to decide which of these to purchase for this gun. A little opinion sharing would be appreciated. A and B are Kingwood. C and D are Cocobolo.

I actually don’t know. I was reading a bunch of posts this morning and saw a description just like that. So, I didn’t actually see it. I’m just wondering how many are like mine and what, if anything, a solitary “2” might mean.

Those are great guns. I’ve had mine for about 6 months and it shoots great. My only complaint was, to me anyway, A B/C gap that is rather On the large side at .008. If you have a set of feeler gauges, I would absolutely LOVE to know what yours measures. Thanks in advance if you can.

For those of you that know about the CS-1, I hope you can add some clarity here. I have read about the markings, and know about the “M” and the “2M” stamps. However, what if there is only a “2” located between the CS-1 and model #? I have been searching this, and other boards, but have only...

OK, update time. I made the trade. Dealer got my two guns but he added 200 bucks to his 29-3 and threw in the remaining 2 boxes of Win Wht box And 1 boxof Fed 240 grain. I feel I did ok.

It’s a stamped receiver from I.O. I don’t recall the actual model from io but it is pretty much a standard akm type

Yes, I have another 19 identical to my trade gun. I know that my two guns are higher overall retail So I’m a little torn, but I really want this 29. I don’t want to get beaten up on n the trade though. I might try the get a 100 bucks free m him and call it good.

A local gun shop has a pristine 29-3 (no box) that he is willing to trade me for a Glock 19 and a Polish made I.O. ak variant. His 29-3 is almost new looking with only some tiny handling marks on the grips. Please opine.

Yeah, CS-1 but, I can’t recall exact birthdate. I need to look it up again.
