Keep putting cash to the side and wait for the gun you want. With that being said, don’t sleep on a good deal.

Looks clean

I think they would look good without the burning

My 586/686s

Any pre lock L frame in good condition is a great gun. How much are they asking? Here is how you inspect a revolver https://youtu.be/95xjizDOrcc?si=goi4bSifp5lk0Adm . The 627 is also also a good revolver depending its price.

I would replace every spring, just for peace of mind. Or soak the gun in penatrating oil, you might just have dried grease in the spring seats.
