    S&W 500 and Winchester primers???

    Primers worked great out of my garand and desert eagle, absolutely no issues at all. The red rust looking powder is only from the incomplete ignition of the squib load, I pulled the others that are loaded with H110, the powder is a nice and shiny slippery etc as it should be. I recently told my...

    S&W 500 and Winchester primers???

    Gents I got a bit of a head scratcher here. I bought a new 6.5” 500. Well I thought I got a dud. Light primer strikes, even had a squib load if that what you call it. Bullet enters part way into the forcing cone, primer is out of the pocket, cylinder jammed up tight. I get it apart, pull the...

    S&W 52-2 value?

    I know of a mint 52-1 but am leery of the long extractor breaking and being stuck with a paperweight. At least with a -2 the extractor can be found or made, not sure of the earlier model?

    S&W 52-2 value?

    Gents A guy is selling a -2 in about 80-85% condition, some handling marks but unfortunately the slide was drilled and tapped for a two base scope mount. To add insult to injury the front sight was filed down. How hard is to to repair/replace the front sight? I suppose the holes in the slide...

    S&W 53 value

    Well the seller just corrected me. He wants $2500 for it, and its unfired. I replied.. good luck with your sale. I'm on to greener pastures. Still would like to know the real world value though.

    S&W 53 value

    Actually both are for sale. I'm interested in the one on the left. Seller said one on left fired only a few times, one on the right has not been fired. Seller says he paid $2500 for both guns ten years ago? I was thinking about $800 for the spare cylinder model. But what do I know. Thanks
