Did you try any of the aftermarket springs (main and rebound)? I bought a 629-4 with the aftermarket springs installed and I tell you, it is really smooth. Good luck with the work, I'd also be interested in hearing about how it turns out.

Thanks folks. To clarify, I was talking about 38 special with 130gr. Fmj projectiles. We spend all this money on guns, I just want to make sure I am not abusing my investments.

What is the general consensus on the use of 130 gr. factory ammo in the 686 or even the 627? Is this "too light" for the caliber? I have been reading about flame cutting and I think I read that if you use ammo that is too light, it will lead to back strap and forcing cone damage. Thanks

I'd like back up if its a -3 or -4 and sale doesn't go through. Thanks

I bought a Rem. 700 from Jeff (jeffh01). The gun came in as described, on time and well packed. Jeff went above and beyond with this deal. Great communication and honest dealings. I would buy from Jeff with confidence.

336, 30-30, walnut stock....fantastic gun. Good luck with the 629 search. I love the search...

Thanks. I will shoot it when I get my hands on some ammo. Hopefully it functions perfectly. I will have to put the original springs in there.

Yes, and a few weeks ago I got myself a JM Marlin built in 89...not a single shot through it (from all appearances)...

If going with the 629, I would go with -2E and above. I have heard the lower dash numbers had issues with the full power 44mags. I'm not writing off all lower dash numbers, but that is what I have read in my search. I personally had a -1 that had issues, so out she went. I just got the -4, 5"...

I bought a nice -4 that came with Wolff springs installed. It has the reduced power rib and a #13 rebound. To eliminate/reduce light strikes, can I switch the rebound spring to say #15 or #16? I have not shot this gun yet, but I hear there might be light strikes with commercial ammo. I would...

sweet! I like the idea of lifetime warranty which you don't get when you buy used.

Any guidance on the quality of the recent productions of S&W 41? I hear "older is better" when it comes to alot of guns. Is that true for the 41 as well? Or could one buy with confidence, even newly manufactured ones? I prefer to buy used, but would like to get a new 41 as I intend to keep it...

bump with price drop: New price $650 shipped. I will include wood grips and a leather holster.

Update: Sorry for the confusion barrel is actually 6" as originally stated (measured from the forcing cone to barrel end). I have had several emails and I'm responding now. Thanks for all the interest. Include in the price: Wood grips and a leather holster. I have a S&W 629-1 (6" barrel) that...

As of yesterday, they told me 6 week turnaround. I'm surprised you got yours in 2 weeks.

Phone calls can be denied, emails are hard to deny. I always feel better getting information in writing. It is one thing to call (as I did the other day) and wait 15 minutes to talk to some, it is another thing to get an email from them that is hopefully well researched, thought out and I can...

I have 627 PC and it is a fantastic gun. VERY accurate. You will love it.

I have a 686 4" which fits perfectly in the bianchi 5BH holster. I found the leather work to be excellent. And it was only $50 on Amazon.

I was having light strikes on my 627 and all it took was tightening the screw on the bottom of the frame. Good luck!

Thanks guys. I have a gun that is going back to S&W for some minor work and was wondering if, while there, they could upgrade it with the endurance package. It appears that is not possible. Since I will not be using the gun with the heavy loads I won't worry about it.
