Thank you all for your condolences and your recommendations on what I should do with the gun. I'm gonna clean the ol gun up tomorrow and get my family together to shot it one more time. Hopefully one day when I'm gone I hope my son will take his kids and shot it one more time and keep this new...
Thank you everyone. We've had more than our share of great times over the years, just unreal I'll never be able to hear him call me pop ever again. And yes these firearms will never leave pur family, I'd figured the pistol not only being my grandfather's but also my great grandfather's would be...
I'm assuming the serial number is the 96504?
Cylinder and ejector are stamped 504. Left side barrel is stamped 32 CAL S.&W. CTGE
Top of barrel has company with patent number and then October 8, 1895
Hi all, been a LONG time since I've posted on our forum. Always lurking reading through post, and liking your photos. Two days ago my grandfather passed away, yesterday my family was at his home going through paperwork my dad needs to transfer his property to him. My grandfather left me his...
And I dont have the flat trigger in front of me so I can't compare the two but if its further forward than the curved one I'm not gonna like it.. I dont have huge hands but stretching more forward would bother me I think
Ok I'm sitting here dry firing the .40, I dont feel the pull I'd heavy, I dont feel its gritty either it's actually fairly nice. It's just the dang trigger, I hate how the bottom half moves so far to release the safety before the trigger itself starts to move to fire the weapon. I think if the...
I've had my .40 full size for a few years now, it's been a great gun EXCEPT this dam trigger! I cannot stand the hinged part and the amount of travel it takes, compared to my S&W revolvers or my SBEII or better yet ANY long fun I have the .40 trigger is horrible to me. I've barely used the gun...
Well let me correct my statement, starting bids at $400. And I'm confused on one other thing, the guns of original should be in a blue cardboard box with matching tag...yet I keep seeing them in modern blue plastic Smith boxes? The guns have the red plastic front sight I set and open cylinder...
So I've been "good" lately after buying the last couple revolvers I've wanted. Been amazing shooting guns but with the added shooting the ammo cost is souring! So I've been looking around and I've found the next one to match my collection. Model 63 in .22LR in polished stainless with 4" barrel I...
Well I received the model 10 today, would love to post some pics but this forum won't allow you to upload direct from your device, photobucket is just hour glassing, and tinypic says device not available!!! So I'll try later with my laptop
I jist sipped everuthing down again but did leave a little oil on the internals. I did the same for my model 51 I jist bought and I'm gonna do the same for the model 10 that should be here tomorrow. And I will not try to polish or alter any of my revolvers PROMISE
