Hello my fellow enthusiasts! I've had a Victory model stashed away for a few years that I picked up at a local auction house in SoCal. I had meant to post about it after receiving it but life got complicated and that task became a low priority. I probably paid too much for it but I had to...

Hello fellow enthusiast. I need help in deconstructing a recent purchase of mine. I live in California, and some of you may know, it is very hard to collect in the State as we are restricted to what is already "in state". Recently, I came across a S&W 59 "long slide". Of course, being a S&W...

I think I am in the right forum as the S&W 66-1 left the S&W factory on July 18, 1980 according to a letter from S&W dated February 10, 1981. I have a six inch, factory engraved (class A), stainless steel 66-1 (pre-lock obviously) that I would like to find out who at S&W engraved it. Poking...

Hey guys! I have a number of S&W 1911 frames (9mm, 38 Super, 45acp) in various flavors (regular line, Pro Series and Performance Center). Three of my Smith & Wesson 1911's came with, I think (they were all second hand), factory magazine well extensions (like my DK in 38 Super, the 9mm Pro...

I am looking for a cylinder assembly that will fit a Smith &Wesson 60-15 Pro. The complete assembly if possible. Why? I am going to have it rechambered to 9mm and I want to be able to easily swap it out with the stock 38/357 cylinder. Thanks!

Hello fellow S&W enthusiast! I have a S&W 1911 Performance Center. I have taken this apart and put back together in the past. However, this last time that I took it apart I cannot get the firing pin plunger lever to lay flat. It is sticking up and preventing me from sliding the slide back...

Are there any "TRUE" gunsmiths left in this country? I'm not seeking an armorer (whether military trained or certification course). I am looking for a true craftsman that knows how to work metal. Can cut, thread and make "ANY" modification look like it was always there (or extremely...

HELP!!!!! I have installed double action sears in 617's, 629's and 686's. However, when I took the side plate off of my Smith & Wesson 646 the internal action doesn't look like the series of firearms I just listed above. Normally there is just the sear and spring. For the 646 there appears...

Since my Smith & Wesson Schofield is a modern 2000 model I "think" I might be in the right forum. I probably did something that most ardent gun collectors may cringe about. I took my Performance Center Schofield and sent it off to TK Custom to have the cylinder cut to accept 45 ACP moon clips...

I recently purchased a Smith & Wesson 1076 from another forum in California. I've been trying to collect all of the S&W 10mm series and when I received a chance to own a 1076, especially in California where we have to be content on what was in the state before it was walled off from the rest of...

Hello fellow S&W enthusiast! With all of your help I was able to identify the last "mystery" Smith & Wesson semi-auto that I acquired (It was a limited run Lew Horton Performance Center). Thank you for the help. This last Saturday I acquired another "mystery" S&W semi-auto (pictures attached...

I am looking for a Smith & Wesson display mat as shown in the picture below. I don't know if these are called display mats, gun mats or what (if you do know - let me know so that I can do my searches properly). If you have anything that is original factory / dealer S&W I may be interested...just...

I have a S&W 610-3 with the 6.5" barrel. I bought it used and I don't remember if it came with the factory moon clips. Recently I purchased 8 moon clips from Moon Clip Store for my S&W 610-3. I was told from Moon Clip Store that the thickness of the moon clips are 0.037" and are identical to...

Hello fellow S&W enthusiast! I need help. I don't have a clue what the following gun is, it's "story" and what it may be worth. Does anyone know? Some background: This is being sold to me from a gentleman who in-law just died. I have not handled the firearm and only have these two pictures...

OK. I own a lot (and this is an understatement) of S&W's. I have, what I think, is the complete series of 9mm M&P's (both short and long PC's, the 9L Pro, Standard, Compact and Shield). I was at the range last night shooting with my daughter and she couldn't get a magazine to stay in the...

I recently purchased a S&W 669 from a LEO in SoCal. Regardless of the condition and/or "completeness" (no box, magazines, etc.) I am happy with the purchase. I do own several S&W stainless steel semi-auto (several may be too modest - lol) and none of them have the grips that this 669 has on...
