Having not heard from you, should I deduce from that, that you did not receive my question about a trade for the 13-4? You can PM your reply.

I also love my Marlin 1894c in .357, but use it mostly for dispatching cans and milk jugs. I hope 9 rounds of 00 buck (4 in the Remington 870 tube, 5 on the stock) will suffice for home defense, but I can see how 9 rounds of .357 could be useful.

A man can never have too many knives! Thanks for the opportunity.

Listed on a couple other sites now, since no one here seems interested. Price too high? Make me a reasonable offer.

SOLD, thank you haris1! Earlier this week I bought back my 686-4 that I had sold several years ago (it sat unfired in his safe the whole time). I have decided to put some Ahrends grips on it since I like the ones on my 586 so much. I bought these new in 2004. The gun was shot a few times with...

Fantastic! Thanks for letting us know this good news.

Nice finds! Thanks. A buddy of mine trades regularly with Jim. If you come across any more that you want to sell, let me know.

I'd like to know this, too. A 3" K frame is at the top of my wish list (especially a 13). You can send me a PM if you don't want to post it on the board.

Great story Roboto! Mine happened just this weekend. On May 1, 2004 I bought a 686-4 that was in nearly new condition, from a local shop that no longer exists. Three months later I had a pile of unexpected medical bills to pay. I sold the S&W to a friend of my father-in-law. He told me that any...

Not on my 686, but my 586. Like many others have shown, these are Ahrends cocobolo tactical finger groove grips. Since I just ordered some retro combat grips from Kim for the 586, these are for sale. Here are the Ahrends on the 586 and the Ajax on the 686 in the same shot:

Not the best photo (taken with my BlackBerry and a bit too bright this morning), but these are cherry grips with S&W medallions made by Ajax. I bought them back in 2004 shortly after acquiring the 686-4:

Thanks for the kindness. I'd like a chance. Sitting on the screened porch tonight smoking the last of my Milan black forest pipe tobacco (time to reorder!) while reading the forum.

Congratulations on your win. I hope to join you. I bought one of 250 tickets for the Colt 100 year commemorative 1911: NRA / Colt 1911 Centennial Edition | The Firearm Blog Dinner is next Friday. If I win I think I will try to find a collector who would be interested. Not sure I could bring...

It's been just over a year and a half since we lost Rufus to an untimely meeting with a pickup truck (my son snapped this shot one day when he was napping in the sunlight, he opened his eyes for a second, then went right back to sleep). Just today we were looking at a rescue shepherd mix. Not...

Neither one of my grandfathers, nor my dad, were shooters. So I guess I appreciate that more since I did not experience it. My father-in-law gave me a Remington 870 Wingmaster he inherited from an older brother (it had been used once before the brother died), and he tells me that his 4" 1976...

For years I have carried a Victorinox Super Tinker in a Leatherman sheath on my belt. Everyone of the tools, with the exception of the hook, gets used often: Victorinox Swiss Army - Super Tinker Pocket Knife A Hunstman is in my range bag. I have an inexpensive Gerber Evo clipped in my...

That is very nice. I'll be getting my 686-4 back this weekend. I sold it to a friend of my father-in-law almost seven years ago to cover unexpected medical expenses. He told me I could buy it back anytime I wanted. Finally got the cash to do so, so back home it comes. Nice story on yours. Good...

I understand what you're saying, it is gorgeous just to look at. That said, there will be no internal debate over whether or not to shoot it. I don't have enough money to spend on a firearm that will not be shot. As soon as I get my buddy to take some professional quality photos I will be at...

Bought my 686-4 from a local shop. My 586 came from a member of this forum. I bought it from him on another gun board, based on the pictures he posted and the questions he answered. Not S&Ws, but I also bought my Ruger SP101 and a Springfield Loaded from other members of the same board where I...

Thanks Brian. I was hoping you would chime in here, because I don't have answers to most of the questions being asked. On a completely unrelated note, you don't have a 3" model 13 you want to part with do you? My last purchase from you gave me just what I wanted in an L frame, maybe you can...
