My friend was cleaning his 4" 19-5 yesterday and saw that the barrel was cracked at the forcing cone. Knowing that I had the frame wrench tool he called, HELP! I can't seem to find one out there in all the normal places so I am putting up a request here. Please let me know what you might have or...

Hey Guys; I bought a 5" 27-2 that dates to 1978 this weekend and I was cleaning it up today and noticed that the cylinder was marked with a number 2 on the breech end. I had never noticed this before. I know that the Highway Patrolmans were marked with an H and I believe that was so the bluing...

I would like to borrow a set of range rods for a .357 mag revolver. Explanation; I bought the Highway Patrolman discussed in this thread: https://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-smithing/712747-offset-primer-hits.html with intentions of trying to fix it. The cylinder does not have an "H" stamped on it...

Magazines I purchased from Jack were sent before he even received my check! He is number 1 in my book! Great forum member! Mike

At the last S&W symposium in Tulsa I purchased a set of S&W golf clubs with a S&W bag and driver. This golf line of equipment was going to be marketed by S&W in 2003 but lived a very short life. I would like to put together as complete of a display as possible of these items for the symposium in...

I recently bought a model 41 from Bob and I can't even remember the last time someone shipped me a clean gun that I purchased. It was spotless! He is a great asset to our forum! Thanks Bob!

Out of the blue, Tom sent me a S&W knife that had a golf scene etched on it because he saw my WTB S&W golf posting. I will now have to run down the history behind it. The members here are just great!

I recently purchased a Mod 29 with a 8 3/8" barrel and Roy says it shipped in June, 1959. The "big book" says the 8" 29s were introduced in 1958. The very few I could find close to #S186436 in the ship date request portion of the forum were also shipped in the first half of 1959. Do any of the...

At the S&W symposium in Tulsa I purchased a set of S&W golf clubs with a S&W bag and driver. This golf line of equipment was going to be marketed by S&W in 2003 but lived a very short life. I would like to put together as complete of a display as possible of these items. So, I am looking for #3...

Hey Guys; I am in need of the palm shelf that goes on the Herretts Nationals target grip. In particular the 1911 model. Although, I think they are all the same for every model target gun they made. Anyone have a set with broken side panels? Thank you for your help; Mike

I have used Simple Green in my ultrasonic cleaner in the past with great results. The solution was getting dirty so I changed it with a brand new bottle of Simple Green but I did not dilute it with water as the label says. I put in some gummed up parts from a 1950's S&W revolver and let it run...

Dan also responded to my request in the WTB section. Another tribute to the people here! Mike

Joe responded to my request in the WTB section and helped me out. There are good people here! Mike

I am in need of a set of WALNUT, N frame, checkered target grips for a 1975 vintage 25-2. 95% or better condition please. Let me know what you have. Thank you; Mike

I recently was lucky enough to purchase a Colt revolver (sorry guys) from David. Very excellent transaction! Quick responses and delivery. Great forum member! Mike

I put out a request for a rear sight and Roy came thru with exactly what I needed! The people here are the best. Mike

I need a complete rear sight assembly for a 586-3. (Numrich is out) The distance between the front mounting screw and the elevation screw is 1.813" (1 13/16). The sight blade needs to be .146" high. I could change the sight blade if needed. Let me know if you can help. Thanks; Mike

Would someone with a 4" model 48 .22 mag revolver kindly measure the height of the front sight. The top edge of the bore to the top of the sight would work fine for me. I know that the rear sight blade should be .126". Thank you for your time and consideration; Mike

Hey Guys & Gals; When did the first Helpful Hints brochure (the one with Officer Ray J. Nowka of the LAPD wearing jodphurs) start being put in the box with new revolvers? Was there only one variation used until July, 1951? I'm just trying to clear up my sketchy notes on the subject. Thanks in...

Craig was great to deal with. Very honest, fast communication and fast delivery. A true forum member. Mike
