    625-3 in .45 Colt 1989 model

    It appears, upon inspection, I was mistaken. Regarding the bore configuration between 45 Colt and 45 ACP. The 45 A.C.P. bores have 6 lands and grooves. Very fine thin. The 45 Colt bore in my model 625-5 has 5 lands and grooves and these are very wide and pronounced. Apologize for any...

    625-3 in .45 Colt 1989 model

    Greetings and welcome to the forum. The model 625-3 was never produced in 45 Colt Cartridge, period. Any revolver Smith & Wesson ever produced in 45 Colt said just that on the barrel 45 COLT CTG. That said the gun has been modified with a later 45 Colt cylinder possibly from a model 625-5...

    Model 25 5 NIB...worth buying?

    To answer this question , yes. I personally place a lower value on Smiths in 45 Colt with large chamber throats. I will not purchase one without confirmation of throat size. The reason being that I handload my 45 Colt ammunition. I use 250 or 200 grain lead .452 bullets. My most recent...

    $5.00 a round for Black Talon .357 . Really ?

    I was also curious why the same item, 4 boxes new old stock sold for exactly 1/2 the amount just a week later. Winchester Supreme Black Talon 357 Magnum 4 boxes : Pistol Ammunition at GunBroker.com Yes, it was my auction. Just the luck of the draw I guess. Allen

    $5.00 a round for Black Talon .357 . Really ?

    I just cannot believe that Black talon 357 would bring $400.00 for 80 rounds. Am I missing something ? Winchester BLACK TALON 357 Magnum 180 Grain SXT : Pistol Ammunition at GunBroker.com Oh. I guess if you are willing to pay almost $3000. for a 3 inch 686-5 then $400. for ammunition to...

    Not a Gold Cup but ...

    It is my understanding that the earliest from 1957 to 1969 National Match were called just that. My friend has one in the box and nowhere on the gun or box does it read ' Gold Cup' . The Gold Cup moniker was adapted in 1969 . Allen Frame

    Not a Gold Cup but ...

    A 3 digit National Match. Good shape. Found at West Palm Beach show this past weekend. Made 1957 ? Maybe a first year gun. It joins a Jim Clark Jr. Colt 1911 found at pawn shop. I removed a Bo Mar rib and installed sights. And a nice old commercial...

    S&W 625-6 question

    The serial number would give us (me) the manufacture time frame. I have a 625-6 Mountain Gun in 45 A.C.P. the serial # is CDU900* . . MIM parts and no internal lock. Maybe the gun you are looking at has had the markings polished off the barrel. We need more detail about what you are...

    N frames 2002 to Present.

    Admittedly the last 13 years or so have been fraught with angst for most of us. But for the right price a modern N frame makes a fantastic shooter. I have 4 460s , and pictured here, 4 modern N frames. The Governator wearing a $5.00 pair of combats. The grip frame on the Gov is K...

    How many would pass this up.

    Anything in 45 Caliber for 600 to 700 . I would have to say 'YES' . P.C. guns and Scandium framed go for substantially more. All my 460s have the hole in the frame. And I do have a set of Modern N frames . In no particular order a 327TRR , 25-13 Mountain gun, 325 PD, and a Governator...

    Woah. 625-7 Power Port sells for record $.

    I watched this one. At $1200. I would be a buyer. But not $1830.00 The Lew Horton and Performance Center words in the description are misleading. This was a run in 1999 for Sports South Distributors. Mine is literally 2 numbers apart from the auction gun. LNIB 1 OF 300 Lew Horton S&W...

    defaced serial number

    I once walked into a local store where I am a regular. A man working there who happened to be a ex cop pulls a Colt 32 police from his bag and hands it to me. He said it belonged to his uncle who also was a cop. It was in shooter condition with original wood grips. He said I could have it as...

    686-4 Mountain gun and Another Mountain Gun Barrel. .

    Well, no I didn't take photos. As to removing the original barrel I have found a relatively simple method. I use a nylon head dead blow hammer and literally beat the old barrel off. I remove the grips, and the cylinder. I install the yoke and sideplate screw. I support the frame on a table...
