2004 new zinc penny, I would never bet a real copper penny those things are worth like $100.00... Now to compare rear sight unit mounting cuts!

All of mine are tapered barrel if pre Model marked M&P's count. I do have three 4" Model marked heavy barrels but they have target sights and are marked 14-2.

Im pretty sure that was not done at the factory.

Hard to tell from the blurry thumbnail pic but does your gun have a Baughman fs blade on a long ramp base ?

Sorry to disappoint you Mr Mike, Ive never even seen a factory red ramp 39/39-2 in real life never mind a box.

Id be willing to bet a shiney penny that the hammer trigger from a pre war K22 OD will swap out with a K22/40 and visa versa. The two other differences are of course the then new micrometer click rear site and taller front site blade. The fs blade should be pinned in the same, the big question...

Mr Mike, Are you looking for a 39 box marked RR or any SW box?

The target stock evolution is interesting, the very earliest NR K targets were flat panels with a black plastic insert ( 1950 AMC Iirc if anyone has one and wants to look it up), this didnt last long as they realized the spacer could be eliminated by cutting it into the grips themselves. Most...

Rize Lazarus ! forgot about this post, The 5" barrel is interesting with no serial, is it cut for a barrel extractor? guessing the barrel began life with a half penny M&P front site and was milled to accept the taller pinned target blade? Never did get around to trying various hammer trigger...

100% not factory. Have all the telltale signs of being made somewhere overseas like Thailand, Turkey, India etc.

My friend just texted me two quick pictures of his converted 617, I believe it is a no dash and has a grip frame thats been round butted, the barrel began life as a Model 66 in .357 and has had the caliber rollstamp removed from the right side and a barrel insert in 22lr. The gunsmith was Jim...

Im with you that the full underlug fad has run its course and a 617 with a Model 66 barrel profile would be neat considering its never been offered. (Closest was the 617 Ashland but no ejector rod shroud and very pricey collector gun) As to your project if you consider that the gunsmithing could...

If this is new production it would appear the iL delete has expanded to include the Kcomp now ....yay!

$828 is a good deal for any PC revolver IMO. The Heritage run was pretty neat but kinda fell slightly short of the mark in several areas IMO. I picked up two of the blue Heritage 17-8's ( pictured below , one wearing Herrets), in hindsight should have looked harder for a case colored one too...

I have been assuming its our own Doc44 ( the OP) ? There was just a little humour there like he needs another 44 Magnum, but Id still make that trade.

Interesting revolver. Im guessing Mr Baldwins first name began with the letter "E". On a side note, My old dept required us to mark all our personal and issued equipment ( helmet, coat , cap, etc) with a 3 letter personal monogram.

Just reread this thread, those four inch 44 Specials are too cool, if S&W still did custom work Id send my 6.5" bright blue one in for a nose job! Btw Bill if you ever decide you want to upgrade to 44 Magnum I can swap you my 4" five screw and since Im feeling so benevolent will even waive the...

Few things in life bring such pleasure as a four inch five screw 44 Magnum! Just added your serial to my growing four inch 44 database. There are several interesting things about the early four inch 44 Mags that make them very unique as well as the timing of their introduction especially when...

Had wanted an M16a1 clone to fill the gap between SP1 and AR15a2 for years, finally built one. Next on the hit list will be a 9mm AR carbine, probably build it as IMO this adds to the fun of collecting then assembling then testing the end product. Used to have a checklist but nowadays its more...

Not sure what wholesale was in 1957 but looks like they shipped 25 std barrel and 15 wide rib, all had target hammers all billed same each at $48.56 each. They dont show an upcharge for the wide hammer or wide ribs or for the "beefed up cylinder" but if someone knows what wholesale was in 57 and...
