Model 629-4 ***SOLD*** $1200 $1100 + Shipping (Buyer pays shipping) WTS: S&W Model 629-4 3" Round Butt Pre-Lock 44MAG. 6 shot. Purchased NOS around 1996 from a Houston Texas Astrohall Gunshow dealer. No box. Fit and function is as issued from Smith & Wesson. It has been a safe queen since...

Mystery solved, as least for my two barrels. Both of my 5" barrels are leftover's from the 1836 Stamped special run shown under Post #13. When I arrived home today I took the 29-2 out of the safe and looked at it with bright light and a loupe and caught the faint lettering. My best guess is...

This is correct. I was living in Houston at that time. All I did was make contact with the Performance Center after calling/messaging here with John Ross. I called S&W and got a RMA for the 29-1 and the 29-2 to send them in. A few months later I got email that they were ready. The modified...

My best guess is that this is a relic from someone's swaging efforts long ago (the lead oxidation on the tip). I've seen similar bullets in the past at a friends house and he was heavily into swaging. The flare at the bottom may be a relic from trying to swage too much metal in one pass. The...

My John Ross copycat Model 29-2 with 5" barrel from his limited production run around 1998-2004. Manny in the S&W performance center did the build. I was last in line for the builds and Manny only had two 5" barrels left from the limited run so I sent two 29's in for the build. A 29-1, and a...

I run the Hensley & Gibbs Bullet Mould Reference website. Hensley & Gibbs design #115 is a favorite of mine. I had to develop my own load data. At the moment, the only load I can recall from memory is 4.0 grains of Nobel Vectan AO gunpowder, a large quantity I purchased from Graf and Sons in...

Well, as luck would have it I stumbled across another mountain gun, this one a 629-4 in .44 Magnum. So, I now have twins... Life is good.... Larger Photos: http://hgmould.gunloads.com/629MG/629625MG2.jpg http://hgmould.gunloads.com/629MG/629625MG1.jpg

It's there. Very faint.

Its amazing to me how a simple grip change can change your perspective of a handgun. Years ago I was shooting this 625 weekly. With Round Butt conversion grips (RB to SB). To me, it was just a good shooting N Frame. Very accurate. And then I remembered it was actually a round butt. So out...

Will work for .22LR all the way up to .45ACP ball or lead. These are portable steel plate racks with interchangeable upper plates and non changeable lower plates. The steel is mild steel, not AR-500 Armor plate. These are rated for Pistol caliber rounds 1300 fps and slower. For Sale: $800 each...

Based on the measurements and the rim, lack of belted base, and deep crimping under the projectile base it appears to be a 20x110mm US Navy round for the Hispano Suiza 20mm Cannon or similar 20mm weapons of the 1940's, 1950's era. Examples here: Cartridge of the Month An introduction to...

I use this mould to make my own so I can shoot more. As simple as that. Can be either hollow point or hollow base. Load more shoot more.
