I took these off a nice S&W and are now excess to my needs. They are in good plus condition (my opinion) with some dents in the bottom of the grips (see picture) and come with the screw. Please see pictures for condition/details of the grip. I'm asking $30 mailed in CONUS via USPS. Payment...

I took it to the range last week. It shot very well. I was using some of my cowboy loads, not target by any means, and got really good accuracy considering my eye sight. This is definitely going in the rotation for range day. Thanks to everyone who contributed to my thread. You guys are...

JP@AK Thanks for the info. I figured as much as I've seen a few over the years with plum leaning barrels or cylinders under strong light. Fortunately this one looks marvelous in normal light and is going to be a great shooter. Chris

I just purchased this Md 14-3 off GB. In the ad they mentioned it might not have the original barrel. In natural sunlight and under normal lighting the whole gun looks nearly pristine. But under high intensity flashlight, the frame is still deeply blued but the barrel is plum. There is no...

Received 2 new S&W branded magazines from MidwayUSA in the original boxes. Will try them out next week.

Thanks. Ordered 2 for a try out.

UPDATE: I added the wood grips after I fired the 459 at the range. The issue occurred with the original grips. Today, I decided to check on the trigger bar per stansdds suggestion. No issue with the bar. However, all mags seated properly and dropped free when it was only the grip frame. I...

This new-in-package CMMG .22 Lr AR stainless steel conversion kit needs a new home. Comes as shown in Stainless Steel replacement bolt/chamber with 3 magazines. Price is $150. CONUS USPS shipping insured is probably about $17. I won't ship to any place this isn't legal. I'm thinking CA, MD...

I recently picked up this Md 459 off GB and took it to the range yesterday. The gun ran well. The original mag ran flawlessly. I have 3 like new MecGar 17 round mags I used on a RSR Md 6590 I sold, stupid I know. One stainless steel mag fit and fired okay, but I had to pull the mag out as it...

Welcome! I, like you, are a transplant to Austin. Subject to being told I'm wrong by smarter people here, here is my 2 cents. The first obvious difference is where the firing pin is. I'm a "pin on the hammer" kinda guy. The newer Smith's have the firing pin on the frame. They both work...

For your consideration..............

I took these off a nice S&W pre-model but lost them during my move. The gun has been sold and these are now excess to my needs. They are in good plus condition (my opinion) with some dents in the bottom of the grips (see picture) and come with the screw. Please see pictures for...

Ill take the 1921 silver dollar with the hole. Send me info on where to send the MO please. I figure $30 based on shipping included. Chris

I'm suitably embarrassed. The "N" is on the underside of the barrel, rear of the cylinder and on the grip frame. Considering the 4th Edition reports that this Md 15 was born in 1974, this is the most pristine nickle finish I've seen on a used gun. My hat is off to everyone who helped me solve...

Hi, I bought this shiny Md 15-3 used many years ago. The serial number is 6K227XX. It looks chrome plated, but I don't know. Under the barrel is the letter "Z" stamped (pic included). On the left side of the grip frame is the letter "Z". On the right side of the grip frame is the letter...

When I was younger, I read Skeeter in the magazines and couldn't wait to get the next copy. Then I started reading Mike Venturino and John Taffin. I got extended subscriptions to both FMG publications that they wrote in. Now, they're all gone and I'm not far behind. The FMG Podcast said they...

Hi, I've searched but couldn't find a listing of M&P 15s by serial number for "made in" or model type her on the forum. I looked in my 4th Edition and it didn't have an serial numbers for M&P 15 rifles. I just traded into a used M&P 15, barrel marked for 5.56 NATO 1/9. The previous owner said...

I don't know if this will help much. I was a dog handler in the AF in the early 70's. I recall, that's a long time ago remember, that we had basically a course of fire of single action from a standing position with a time limit. The limit was ridiculously long. We did 50 rounds total in...

I bought a shooter grade Md 544 a few years back. The target grips are a little big for my hands but with a square butt that's to be expected. Regardless I have been shooting it. I've been looking at Altamonts and I may be pulling the trigger on a pair of Bateleur finger style when the...

In my younger days I used to shoot SASS. Me and my "sponsor" in the sport used Clays for our .38s. Dirty, but cheap, at least at the time. I reloaded about 1,500 rounds a year. He did about 15,000. It worked but that's about all. I changed to Titegroup and had to be real careful because...
