I have quite a few guns, but did not have a Model 70. My son thought I needed this one (now he's trying to talk me out of it). It's a 1998 Shot Show limited edition. Approximately 300 made in 270 caliber. Control round feed. Fajen maple stock. Pretty nice, I think.

I have a 1960 model 19 no dash. We think the diamond targets on it are from the mid 60s. Gun is near mint, so looking for similar quality grips. Goncola Alves (most seem to be walnut). Checkering should have the sharp corner at the base. I think the late 50s grips fit this description. If...

This is my second Heritage. I also have a 25-11. Seller said there were 200 made. Picked it up today. Pics are from the seller's listing. Paid $828 before tax and shipping. Seems decent for a low production gun, but the Heritage guns don't seem to appreciate like other guns. Should dig...

I've bought a number of S&Ws the past few weeks, but I haven't posted pics, so I thought I'd post pictures of............. old rifles that I've purchased. Lol. I thought it might be fun to see if people can identify them. More info might be needed, but I figured I'd start with photos. Any...

Couldn't figure out how to edit the title of my original post. Some of you might find the letters interesting. I know I do. Special thanks to Mike Helms for sending it twice! https://smith-wessonforum.com/threads/non-registered-magnum.743410/

Thanks to my son, I snagged a 3 1/2" 27-2 to go with my 5" 27-2. Both S prefix with close serial numbers. A while back, I bought a set of boxed 27-5 in 3 1/2"and 5" barrels. Added my 4 inch. I also have other 6", 6 1/2" (if you count a NRM), and 8 3/8 pre 27. Twelve model 27. The pics...

I sent two money orders totaling around $1600 to a GB seller last Monday. USPS priority mail with tracking. It was supposed to be there last Thursday. It made it to Warrendale, PA on 6/12 and that's the last known location. It now shows as Moving Through Network. It's obviously not moving...

Bought three pairs of grips from him. All are super nice, just as described. Quick shipping, nice packaging, and good communications. Highly recommended.

I'm pretty sure this is not a S&W case. It came with a pre 29. It fits the gun perfectly. I have seen a similar case, but I don't remember where I saw it. Anyone know anything about it? It looks kinda old.

I picked this up at a gun show this weekend. I'm sure it's nothing special, but I liked it and I wanted to give the seller some business after chatting for a while. There's no writing on anything. Country of origin, etc. I don't suppose there would be if it came from Mexico, etc. Can anyone...

My son and I got up early to go to the local gun show. Absolutely not expecting to find a deal. I spied a gun labeled as pre 27. After negotiating a price, I figured I'd buy it. My son looked at it and said "dude, buy it!". I gave the guy cash and we were on our way. From what we can tell...

The 3 1/2" and 5" barrels were reintroduced as 27-5 in 1991. Morado wood target grips. Production run of 1500. I don't know if that's the total for both barrel lengths or if there were 1500 of each. Anybody know? Found these with a 5 inch nickel 27-2. So, I bought them all (my wallet says...

Found a dealer that had three model 27 that I liked. This is one of them. The case liner has a crack that I think I can fix. Pretty clean gun. Dates to around 1975. How many 5 inch nickel 27's are out there? Post pics if you have one. 👍

So, I have the choice of a 1948 ish k22 that has some honest wear and a small chip on the bottom of the stock. All numbers match. Original bluing. K68013. I posted photos of the 2nd gun which we know shipped to Stoeger in 1952. Really pretty gun, but possibly re-blued. S&W did offer bright...

I only had one 17, a 17 no dash, so I was happy to add this to the collection. Pretty clean gun. Serial K135724 dates it to 1951, I believe. Serial on the butt of the frame, the cylinder, and barrel all match. It has a small repair on one of the grips. I'm sure I could find a more perfect...

I bought a new 629 Mountain Gun and told myself that I wasn't going to get a 686 Mountain Gun. But, I spied one for sale and bought it. I won't have it until next week. Picture is from the reseller. I got to see it before I bought it. The walnut grips look dry. Is there an oil or something...

During my break from S&Ws, I focused on two other hobbies. One was collecting guitars. And next was upgrading my stereo gear. I've been into stereo equipment and music since I was a teenager. As I've gotten older, I could afford better gear. I have equipment by companies like Von Schweikert...

Picked up a 686-1. Found it at a Cabelas in West Virginia and had it shipped to Bass Pro in KC. Pretty slick. They didn't charge shipping and no FFL fee. Pretty clean gun with box, papers, and unopened tools. The model number on the gun shows M686-1. Not MOD686-1. And, there is no M...

I just picked up a 4 inch 27-2. It made me wonder how many 4 inch S&W I had. I decided to narrow it down to N frame since I don't have too many 4 inch N frame. I dug them out for a quick photo. It's a little too late in the day for a pic.... From top left going right: 24-3, 1983, NIB. 27-2...

Thanks, Vince. Very nice grips.
