Update. Sent my 28-2 to SW for refinishing 3 months ago - was told about 12 weeks turnaround. Realize they're right out straight in Springfield. Check cleared a couple days ago so I called to check status. Was told it went to refinishing today and would be about a month. Just some info on...

Back on March 4 I sent my new (to me) Model 28-2 to SW for refinishing and enclosed my check for the quoted amount. They said turn around would probably be 12 weeks. Well, we're 5 days short of the twelve weeks and the check has been posted. Not sure how long the job will take but at least I...

I sent my request to Roy Jinks a couple of weeks agp. My check was processed on March 29th. Any one have an idea as to how long the current wait is between check processing and letter receipt? Thanks.

Thinking of having my 28-2 refinished. Checked SW performance Center web site. They list several types; I'm imterested in high polish blue. Their examples only show two in the blue, both captioned "Polish Blue" but the price list shows "High Brite Polish $275.00" and"Standard polish & Blue...

Just picked up a Highway Patrolman Model 28-2 with an "N" prefix and five digit serial number; N85XXX. According to my SCSW Third Edition, the five digit N prefix would put the dob between 1969 - 1972 as all after had 6 digits. Checked with SW Customer Service and he said "1981." That would...

I just picked up a LNIB Model 24-6 at a local show. It's too new to be included in my SCSW 3rd edition. It does have the IL but the finish is the deep blue and not a scratch . Can anyone give me a clue as to value, date of birth, etc? SN is DCF-4XXX. Best I've been able to find is that it's...

Bought my second 15-22 this past June but wasn't able to get it out to fire until yesterday. My first one functioned perfectly (and still does; my son has it.) With this one, the first three 25 round magazines went flawlessly. The fourth magazine functioned properly for about half the rounds...

The blue SW gun props are getting very hard to find so I had a number of acrylic props made up. These measure 3/4" X 4" and are crystal clear. (Ends are not polished.) Had to order in quantity and have a dozen or so left. Would like to sell them - $3.50 each, INCLUDES shipping. Minimum of...

Thinking about having SW do some laser engraving on my 686P. Anyone info, opinions, pics? I'd prefer traditional engraving but the cost puts it out of reach. Thanks.

Got my first 15-22 the first of the year. My son, his wife, and their 9 year old daughter fell in love with it. So, decided to give it to him for his birthday (gave it to him to day, a few days early) and got myself a new one. Here's the new one, and then the original. I can only hope that...

OK, this is embarrassing - the 15-22 is my first AR15 style rifle. I just got a UTG AR15 carry handle for it. I thought it would be a snap to install but I don't want to force anything. If you unscrew the knobs, do the two pins come out? They appear to be quite tight and I don't want to ruin...

Read several posts re: carry handles for the 15-22. Looking for a simple handle, standard, nothing fancy. Any idea where such a beast could be found? Thanks.

Anyone know what the real world availability is for the 15-22 product number 811033, threaded barrel with A1-Style Compensator? Wondering how long from time of order to time of receipt by LGS. Thanks.

Well, Decided to get a mouse gun .. sadly not a smith - but unavoidable. Ruger LCP, .380, 6+1, weighs 9 oz and fits in the palm of your hand. Great little pocket gun.

I've been using Quicken 2008 with Windows Vista with no issues. New machine runs Windows 7 and I couldn't get Quicken to print no matter what I did. Called Quicken and had an hour long online chat with one of their "technicians." At the end of the hour, he said Quicken 2008 had not been...

Suddenly this afternoon my year and a half old HP 17" laptop decided it doesn't want to play. Shut itself off and nada. Turn it on, it tried to boot and shut down. Finally just wouldn't. I run virus scans religiously and should be clean. No indication of overheating . Friend who's a tech...

Like many others, I enjoy taking photos of my SW's. But I don't like having to prop them up with a ball point or such through the trigger guard. I've noticed a number of photos here with a blue rod with the SW logo and "Smith & Wesson" imprinted on the end. Where do you find such a thing...

As promised, the range report on my new 15-22. Got up this morning to three below zero. Would have canceled shooting except after reading the many posts about FTEs, FTF's, etc. I had to know if I had one of the "good ones" or one of the "bad ones." Arrived at my son's about 10:30 AM. It had...

Been a lot happen since 2006. Anyone heard anything about the possibility of SCSW4?
