    Modified S&W 1917?

    Picked up two boxes of Chore Boy at my local Publix, along with Vernors ginger ale. Wow! does that stuff work. I wrapped a little bit around a brush and in less than 10 stokes it cleaned more crud out of the barrel than I did before with Ed's Red and a bronze bore brush. Great stuff!

    I have noticed Chore Boy copper scouring pads are recommended for cleaning barrels and chambers on several forums. I checked the Chore Boy website and it says Walgreens, Publix and Krogers carries this product in South Carolina. This afternoon the hunt for Chore Boy is on!

    Modified S&W 1917?

    Looked over revolver for numbers and marks. Number on barrel flat and inside rear of cyclinder: 128684. Other proof marks described on attached photos. I believe the hammer is from a later model since it has a wide spur. My Colt 1917 has a thin spur and I would think the S&W 1917 would have...

    45 Wheelgun, Nice looking revolver. I'll take a look this evening if my brain remembers I said I would, for the numbers under the flat. ;-) Wyatt Burp, That is one fine looking revolver.

    Modified S&W 1917?

    Have not shot it, yet. I only picked it up yesterday. I have a Colt 1917 and both this S&W and the Colt have heavy trigger pulls.

    Modified S&W 1917?

    Picked this up today becuase it is different than anything I've seen before. Seller said it started out in life as a S&W 1917 in .455 caliber. Have any of you ever seen anything like this?
