Pete, I've seen lots of Model 28-2's that have wear.......never ever seen one that's worn out. For the caliber it is way over built. it's the one gun I always look for at shows....I have both 4's and 6's. Shooting full boat 357's in a 6" N frame is a treat. Good luck

To all -- thanks for the replies. I had a chance to look at the gun today, and as most of you pointed out...the box and label looked legit in person. It just had the look of a box that was 48 yrs old. I passed on the gun though, had a couple of minor issues, both lower side cover screws were...

Thanks for the comments so far...the 4 digit serial # on the box matches the gun....I added the black out to the picture only.

In the next couple of days I'll be looking at a 28-2 and have a few questions regarding the box and label. The gun dates from 1970 give or take 6 months. I've attached a couple of pics that he sent me. Any comments or expert opinion's on if the box and label look legit? To me they both...

Hey CK I tried sending you a email...not sure if it went through. This is my email [email protected] if you received my email it contained my work address. thanks MG

Does the shape of the hammer determine long or short action? I just picked up the same arm, serial # S 976XXX. Research indicates it has the long action. Just looking to understand the physical differences. Thanks

Thanks to all who responded......The stocks have no maker marks, I googled SILE and the pic's they show have style's that look like my stocks shown above. I would say SILE is the manufacturer.....value 40 to 50 bucks. I was hoping to have some rare ROPER prototype stocks....At least I got a...

Good Evening All, I Just bought a Model 19-4 that was wearing Target Stocks. I was hoping some one could ID the maker. I wasn't even in the market for this 19 snub, but it was just too nice to pass up, it had everything.......box, all the paper work, rod, mop, and SAT. In the box were the...

Good Evening.....looked at a Model 19-7 Snub today, many changes in this late model. 2.5" with MIM trigger and thumb Latch, forged trigger with firing pin attached, non factory ugly wood stocks. Gun is very clean , with just a trace of a turn line. None of the screws were ever turned. Nice...

To all, Thanks for the feedback.....my 629 was a little earlier than I thought. Be Safe

I recently picked up 2 Smith's from about 1996 or 97. The serial #'s for both gun start with 3 letters "CAC" and "CBZ". When I researched these guns on page 400 of the SCSW....these letter sequences do not show up. That page is confusing ...am I missing something? 629-4 CACxxxx 617-2 CBZxxxx

Hey Aples, Thats a beauty...like previous poster indicated more pics will help. The only downside is that the seller is going to like the info this site provides more that you will.

Bought em Both Hey Guys I ended up buying both guns. Last night I was pretty convinced that the 44 was the gun to buy, the -4 model is as good as it gets and I plan shooting it for a long time. So after work to I stopped by the 1st shop and bought the 44, nice tight gun. That was...

The 629-4 classic that I'm looking at doesn't have a box so I'm not sure if you can tell a RB vs SB unless you take the grips off. Don't forget these era gun's had rubber grip's that transformed a round butt to a SQ butt. From all the research I've done I'm sure its a Round but. serial # is...

To all Thanks for the feedback....I'm going to try and close the deal on the 629-4. I'll post some pics if it goes through.

Made the rounds after work today found two Smiths that I thought were pretty nice: first one was a 617-2 6" barrel, alloy cylinder, forged hammer and trigger, box & docs, high 90's gun. 700 otd. the 2nd was a 629-4 Classic 6.5" barrel, forged hammer and trigger, no box, nice and tight...

Welcome and Thank You for serving our country. Tell us what you carried as a young Sky Trooper and if possible post a pic of your latest find. Shoot Safe

Shark....what are you waiting for, you couldn't duplicate that gun for 1200. My Aunt has a similar gun from Mag na port, called the Professional, if she offered it to me for 15 I'd be all over it.

How much to shorten the barrel and add the front sight? In all honesty I'd like some feedback on the gun the way it sits now....is it a $650 gun with the ammo? Thanks......

Need some direction......I know how some of you guys feel on ported guns (not good). I guy I work with has a 6 inch 629-1 that has been Mag Na Ported.....also wearing some rubber stocks. No box or docs but does come with a box of 50 rounds. He is stuck on $650...already tried to work him. I...
