I picked this up for less than $400 this week. It is a little finish challenged but I managed to clean it up and make it look presentable. The bore and chambers are perfect and mechanically it's like new. This is the first hand ejector I have owned that has no markings on the frame other than...

Picked this up at Cabelas for $750 this week. It's a bit finish challenged but mechanically like a new gun. Timing is perfect and bore and chambers near mint. It looks like it was terribly neglected but fired little. I never considered buying one of these before because they are usually very...

I picked this up yesterday. Does anyone here have one that letters close to this serial number so I can narrow down the year of manufacture? From information I've gathered on line and from the SCSW I'm thinking it's in the 1919-1922 range. It's far from perfect but the timing is good and lockup...

I have this S&W DA in .44 Russian that the cylinder throws by on occasion. I think it's specific to two of the chambers. I disassembled the gun and the action was quite gummed up with 130+ years of grime. So I gave it a good cleaning. The bolt and spring were really loaded up with crud. So I...

I recently bought a M 659 from 1983. I was comparing it to my nickel model 59 from 1978. I noticed the frames are different. The 659 is beefier above the trigger than the 59. Anyone know the reason for this? The 659 is already a very heavy and beefy pistol with its stainless steel frame vs the...

I bought this Friday for what I consider a very good price. (I can't remember if it's against the rules here to post $ so I will refrain unless told otherwise). I don't have the gun in hand yet or the s/n but l believe mid to late 40s early 50s? Is the box correct?

Does anyone have one or know someone that does? I need the latch, screw and spring. Thanks!

I need the latch, screw and spring. I know they are pretty hard to find but I'm hoping someone out there has one that isn't a fortune. Thank you! -Erik

Just won this on Gunbroker the other night. The only other S&W semi auto I have is a nickel model 61-3. Pretty happy to add this to the collection.

Went on a road trip this weekend and stopped in to Northeastern Firearms in Turner Maine and picked this up for $275. Took most of it apart and cleaned it all up last night. Came out pretty nice. First pic is when I just bought it.

Just curious. More specifically what is the earliest year a ramped front sight would have been seen on a 38 Regulation Police?

When I was at home visiting my Father a couple weeks ago he gave me his Pre-29. The serial number puts it right around the time they started with model numbers but mine does not have one. So would this gun be from 1957? (I'm currently trying to upload more photos but it's not letting me upload...

I couldn't pass this one up. I had a blue one I sold years ago. I love the quality of these little revolvers. I felt the price was right and I've always wanted one in one of these beautiful picture boxes. Inside the lid is MW Robinsons stamp. When it arrives I will post pics of it. I may letter...

Picked this up online from a Cabelas recently. The price was right and from what the guy on the phone was telling me it sounded mechanically sound. I was very pleased when I received it. It looked better than the online pictures. It's tight with really nice bright chambers and bore with very...

I had a thread going discussing gutta percha pistol cases but got pulled because the gun was in a current auction. (hopefully mentioning the word "auction" doesn't get this one pulled too) Anyhow, I'm curious about reproductions of these and how to tell repros from orininals. I think it was...

So I recently bought a fairly clean S&W 61-3 .22 auto and I can't get through a magazine without a misfire or jam. I know these can be ammo finicky and the only ammo I have tried so far is Federal Game Shok 40 grain. But it appears most of the problem is light strikes on the rims. The recoil...

I have posted a WTB ad here and on the colt forum. I have gotten one e-mail from [email protected] It sounded like a scam right from the first sentence: "You still seek for the Merwin Hulbert Pocket Army, let me know" So he sent me this when I asked for pictures and a price: Pics stolen...

The Merwin Hulbert Pocket Army is a grail gun of mine I've been wanting to acquire for many years. So if you have one in your collection you are looking to move please let me know what you have. I would prefer one that is DA with a folding hammer spur but I would consider other models of the...

I buy and sell a lot of these things as they can frequently be had for not a lot of money and well, I like the damned things. But rarely do I run into any that are any different than the millions of others that were produced. This one however is different. This is a first model, first variation...

Could someone mic both ends of the chamber on a .44 Russian cylinder for me and also the bore diameter? I have a Belgian copy of a S&W DA frontier and I think it is in .44 Russian but I just want to see what the chambers of a S&W 44 Russian mic as to be sure. Here's what I'm getting: Cylinder...
