Thanks for confirming that. I was just looking at it, it’s really too nice to become a shooter. Much nicer than the pics, sitting on an old dusty bear skin. I have my cherry 617-1 safe queen and a 15ish year old 616-6 that lives in my range bag ( my favorite and most consistently accurate...

Evening Just recently snagged this, pretty crisp but A little box burn and it looks like everyone who touched it pushed the extractor rod, lol I did clean it and it appeared to have 3 burn rings but 2 of them were next to each other, not every other hole like I’ve seen on some of my early 629’s...

Talk about eye candy! That’s the cream of the crop when it comes to 629’s…. Wait Let me go just a little further IMO That’s the cream of the crop of all smith 44 magnums :D

I’m just going off memory but the -5 run of 629’s is a short one. I’d like to say mid 99 to late 01, I’ve only HAD one. If you post a clear pic of your box label it’s probably on it, in the form of a code

That’s an impressive program to be able to scale other’s targets off the web I like it!

Paul That is some very nice work

And it looks like 2” is all I’m good for today 4” 629-6 shooting the RCBS 250K on top of 20 gr of 2400

I’ve been working on the range this spring and also my bench technique Using a 6” 10 shot 617, I’ve had for at least 15 years…. I should dig out the box and find out for sure but I bought it new and it’s lived in my range bag for years It’s been shot a bunch Shot a few good groups today with...

That and the ejector rod is naked :D I’m thinking it’s not the photo he intended to post

While I don’t have firsthand knowledge of the 27’s. There were blued and stainless transition guns. I really like them too but don’t think hardcore collectors value them has much as a gun that is “true” to the dash number. I like the 629’s and know there’s more than a few transitional no dash...

I like it, the gun is set up to be a shooter State of the art 1980’s Fyi A lot of factory targets got left on the glass as the new owners screwed a set of pachmayr’s on, I’ve only got one set left :D

That’s a great platform for those willing to carry a full size gun. Where I think it really shines is a general woods bumming gun, superlite to carry and there when you need it.

Nice! Love hearing from other Mainers I would really enjoy some pics of your 44’s Blued, nickel or stainless, doesn’t matter to me :D

That’s the one to have! :D Thanks for sharing

You’ve got some beautiful iron there, Tinknocker :D Thanks for posting

Another (4th one in a row) rainy, snowy weekend Haven’t gotten anything new in a while and patiently waiting on the new dash 9 mountain guns! Thought I dig out some older stuff and have a thread on the early sixguns First up is nib 8 3/8” no dash Next up it’s pictured with a 4” no dash and a...

Their were a few others doing the same but I get your point and I totally agree Thanks for the kind words chris

Had them do a few more modifications It has the finest action of any N frame I’ve handled The front site does smoke up with mid range cast loads The ports do help with full power loads, it likes the 240xtp’s over 20 gr of 2400 I enjoy bringing it out for some range time buts its not a high...

If you’re thinking about it, there’s only one way to find out I bought this mountain revolver used It had bad finish issues but it shot my standard every day mid range loads and several full bore magnums loads really well It was already ported and I tried finding out if it left Springfield that...

Can’t believe I missed this the first time around Can’t add much other then I really like the op’s gun And wonder if he ever found out what it is Here’s a pic of my dash three classic And all I really know abut it :D
