Does anyone have tips or suggestions on how to clean the cylinder end of the barrel? I have a used 625 that has a good amount of leading in the beginning of the barrel that I'd like to clean off. I got a good amount of the leading/carbon off the rest of the gun with the Birchwood Casey Lead...

I called S&W today...The big difference is indeed the refinishing. The S&W Customer Rep did say the action jobs were slightly different but he did not sound 100% confident on it. He also told me they will re-laser whatever was on the gun which I might or might not want... Now I need to save...

Jeremy, if I decide to sell you will be first in line. Still looking to trade though.

Theoretically, yes...but I usually can't call from the office and I am not sure how late their lines are open.

I'm looking to trade a like new with packaging and shim SW036HO8 K-Frame R/B grips which I got for a 3" K-frame Ladysmith for a similar condition N-Frame R/B grips. They were mounted once, but the 3" barrel doesn't look right with these grips (Need 4" or longer) so I would like to swap them for...

anyone? I'm shocked nobody knows the difference.

Does anyone happen to know what the difference between the Master Revolver Action Package and the Combat Revolver Package is? I see the combat package comes with a glass bead refinish but I was actually thinking of getting a high polish finish. Anyone know the difference between the two? I...

I am looking for a used but in good condition S&W 625 5" barrel Model of 1989 revolver...(no lock versions only please) I would like to get one "as it came from the factory"...with box, moon clips, manual..etc. 5"

Thanks...So it looks like I need to either order from Novak or have a sight I want gunsmithed into the right dimentions.

Does anyone know what kind of a cut S&W uses on the rear dovetail? Is it Novak/Kimber...etc?

Old thread but I figured I'll update it.... I finally got a chance to load up some .357 Magnum with 125 gr Berry's HP bullets. I wound up making a trial batch of 5 grain W231 set to an OAL that's on OCD1's post.... I was kind of surprised at how they turned out...Pretty accurate (I need a...

Is this user servicable? I claim ignorance as my primary experience is with Sigs and their sights are not multi-part. If I can buy a sight blade that's user replaceable I'll pursue this way :)

I've been using my S&W 1911 for IPSC S/S last few matches and found out I really hate the rear sight on the gun. After a match my wrist and/or forearm look like i was attacked by a hedgehog. Does anyone know what my options for a smooth adjustable rear or rear/front sight are? I'd prefer not...

I didn't get a chance to take photos....or remeasure. But my original OAL looks like the second one from the left, and the new OAL of 1.25 looks a lot like the one on the left. It was definitely not below the case mouth though so I probably mis-typed again. The shoulder was almost flush, maybe a...

I mistyped the caliper measurement, you're right at 1.33 it probably wouldn't fit into the mags...It's actually 1.133 or so. The extractor is clean on my full sized 1911. I bumped up the OAL to 1.25 now so i'll see how those 60 rounds shoot.

I just got 1500 LSWCs from Stonewall Bullet Co. Very nice company to deal with even gave me some stolen pens :-D While I can't say for sure I will/will not have a problem I just went through 1000 LSWCs from an unknown mould but I think it's same or similar as the ones I have now... Shooting my...

I'm in the process of purchasing a S&W revolver out of state. I plan on sending it to S&W for an action job and a refinish. The "normal" process is to have the out-of-state dealer ship it to my FFL then after I transfer it I would then send it off to S&W for the work. However, is there...

Would it be wrong of me to have S&W refinish it and do an action job on the revolver? What's interesting is that I don't see a finish option for Satin Stainless. Maybe I'll get it high polished instead.

I wanted to know how many were made :-D The one I put on layaway is a hammer mounted firing pin. It was priced at 349$ but rang up at 329$ for layaway (big store)
