How did I miss this thread? 
Here's a few of my favorite field guns with Factory, Smooth, Goncalo.
In that snapshot is a pair of stocks that are rarer than Pre-War Magnas. These... N-Frame, Smooth, Gancalo Modified Magnas. (Thanks Weatherby!).
I collect Smith Wood and it's the only pair I have ever seen. Just to stay in touch with my inner bubba, I put them right to work!
But if you want a "Real Smoothie" you need to see my Grandson, Jake!

This IS an old thread. Luckily, I have something new to contribute. I doubt I'll ever find another set of presentation grips as cool as the ones I found on eBay a while back.

Like My Women ....
Dark, Deep, Well Figured and Smooth....
On a 4" Jet...
18-4.
I'd almost like to rip these packages open just to see the wood on these "selects".
J's...
K's...
N's...
But I'm afraid that once I started, I wouldn't be able to stop myself...

Here are some of my smooth stocks. The first picture is a coffee table I made. It is a wood transfer box that Smith & Wesson used for taking finished stocks out of the Wood Room to the Final Fitting Department.
I shredded old Smith & Wesson catalogs to use as packing to protect the smooth stock inside. The second picture is of one of my display cases with some smooth stocks inside. The third picture is of smooth unfinished wood that I bought from a retired employee that worked in the wood room.

I prefer smooth grips on my magnum revolvers. Here are four of my favorite.
My Model 58 wearing a set of Ahrends Square Butt Tactical finger groove grips
The same Model 58 with a set of Ahrends Square Butt Retro Combats
My Model 29-4 3" Special/Gary Reeder Classic wearing a set of Ahrends Round Butt Retro Combats
The same Model 29-4 sporting a set of Ahrends Round Butt Tactical finger groove grips
All four grips are made of cordia wood.

Well, that knife was made over fifty years ago ( at least, because that's when my father brought it home). Who made it, I do not know, the locking system is hand made, it's supposedly the one that Browning copied their first folding skinner/ hunter.

I owe it to Keith44spl. Red River Leather. It's the finest holster I've ever strapped on. I sorta traded him an old Texas Mexican Railway Police badge for it, (but I still feel like I owe him some more for it )

29-2, non-original stocks. I like smooth grips better than checkered grips in a revolver with serious recoil.
