I'd just posted about the Mdl 66-2 on the right (see image below) in another forum here. I just picked this one up recently for a really NICE price and it appears to have been shot very little and very well cared for. I've already replaced the stock stainless hammer with a case-colored one, as...

Here's my L'il and Big Brother S&Ws posing for a family pix. On the left is my Mdl 63-4 .22 with the heavy 5" barrel. I really like the heavy profile better than the skinny 4" barrel that's on my Mdl 63 in .32 H&R Mag (it's the other brother, who is not shown). I'd posted about this 5" .22...

One benefit of not spending 9 to 12 nights a month in hotels (national accounts) is I'm getting much more bench time for various cellar projects... OK, I'll admit right off that most buyers of the SSR Pro Series won't think any upgrades are needed, and yeah I get that. I just happen to like...

It seems I've had a love/hate relationship with the J-frame Model 63s... First I had a 4" one, then sold that when someone made me a decent offer for it. Then I found a 3" one, which was really handy to carry in the woods, but someone else wanted it more than me, and I sold off that one too...

Long-time S&W fan here... I've got a nice 4" Model 617 that I got a few years ago, and while it shoots very well, I've been hankering to get an older "blued" Model 17 similar to the one I had back in the college years -- that I foolishly sold off to pay for some keyboard equipment. (Well OK, I...

I've had this l'il 3" S&W Model 63 "Kit Gun" for awhile now, but I hadn't shot it much. I finally spent about 45 minutes polishing the innards the other night, and now she is much smoother and a joy to shoot! I was surprised at "how dry" she was on the inside though, not a drop of lube or...

Ahoy the forum from the coast of Maine... This older post from almost a year ago asked about a 32 Regulation Police, 5-screw in the 425XXX Range (click for link) that was likely shipped in late 1925 (based on close serial #s that other posters had shared), and today I'm asking about an earlier...

I acquired this old 5-Screw S&W Regulation Police in 32 S&W Long the hard way... ...From my Father's inheritance... I'd actually loaned it out to a friend of mine who was interested in checking out the older S&W 32s; and luckily he didn't handle it or shoot it much, if any, but he liked it...

Here's a nice l'il Model 31-1 I found in a small shop, in 32 Long. It's in excellent + condition! No box or papers, but I don't think she was carried or shot too much! But that will soon change!!! :) Serial # is AWA914X. I would be grateful for any info for what year it was made, and in...

Hi all: My brother calls this find of his a "Pre K, 5-Screw 32", a precursor to the K32 Series. It has a 6" barrel, is a 5-screw model, has Serial Number 677XXX, and has what looks to me like a LERK aka "Large Ejector Rod Knob" (per a comparison versus the posting of the magnificent set of...

Hello all: For a few years, dare I say I collected some nice (but inexpensive at the time) H&R Top Breaks to go with my replica S&W No. 3 Schofield top break. With this one added, I've moved up from the base H&Rs to the better quality S&Ws. Here are some pictures of #686XX, which I have...

Duplicate post, sorry...

Hi all: I will post pictures & details later, but could someone please advise of the Date Of Manufacture for a used stainless Model 63 (no dash) with serial #: AMT 7xxx ? Thanks! Old No7

Truth be told, I've really enjoyed the 6" 686 I got a few years ago when I moved away from Ruger's back to S&W's, but at the time I got it, I had really wanted a nice 4" Mdl 66 but couldn't find one. I know the 6" 686 L-frame is a better range gun, but the 4" 66 K-frame is much handier and...

Lots of posts here about the Model 17 and 617 series, that's great! I know I need to get some "good leather" for my 6" 617, but with the Target Hammer I've added, a holster meant for the standard hammer 6" K/L just won't work... Had this same issue with a K/L holster with my 686-TH too...

Just in case anyone here ever has a stuck pin or Bolt Plunger, see my post over on the Hand Ejectors forum for details on how a Kinetic Bullet Puller can help un-stick a S&W bolt plunger or stuck pin, if it's on a part that will fit into a standard bullet puller. Crazy idea?!?! Just maybe...

“Who knew” that a Kinetic Bullet Puller would help save the day as I cleaned up my older brother’s old S&W I-frame 32 Regulation Police?! But it sure did! Long story, short…My older brother brought up both of his old 32 S&Ws to shoot recently, and he left me his vintage K32 to use for a few...

My older brother made the "mistake" of letting me shoot his 6" K32 in .32 S&W Long -- that he paid all of $100 for ~20 years ago -- wow, what a sweet shooter she is!!! I offered right then and there to "triple his money", but he's declined... Since then, I've done a little looking and I think...

Long time, no posts... (Not too much shooting of my 15-22 either lately...) :confused: Sorry if this has been posted before, but for those who struggle with running a cleaning rod or weed-whacker line through their bore to clean their 15-22, this little device works really slick. It's the...
