Hi, I picked up a nice blued Model 27-2 but the rear sight was missing. It looks like it was tapped for a scope, with a second hole on the top strap. Here's the sight I bought but it's too short. The screw hole does not line up. ""Smith & Wesson Rear Sight Assembly .136" Black K, L, N-Frame""...

Curios & Relics | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives “Firearms automatically attain C&R status when they are 50 years old. Any firearm that is at least 50 years old, and in its original configuration, would qualify as a C&R firearm. It is not necessary for such firearms to be...

I have other S&W revolvers with the football cutouts but I guess that wasn’t enough for the previous owner. They did do a nice job expanding the cutout. So this is now a C&R? Sweet.

I recently added this beauty to my S&W family. Model 19-2 blued 6”. The left grip has been modified. Any ideas on the ship date? SN is K6819xx.

Would a 586 no dash have an "N" on the cylinder face indicating a factory nickel finish?

What does the screw in front of the trigger guard do? I have not removed that screw but....when I took the side plate off, the forward most screw was very loose. When I reassembled it I tightened that screw so it was snug but not overly tight. Then I could not open the cylinder. I thought I...

Thanks for the info Hondo/Jim. I was sure I was going to find that the side plate assembly numbers did not match the crane but they do match. The crane has 5817 stamped in 2 places, and the side of the crane has the same SN as the bottom of the frame. The side plate also has 5817. I can't...

Here's the latest, and certainly oldest, member of my small S&W family. SN 132422 puts this as made in November 1918? The SN is also on the side of the crane - visible with the cylinder open through an empty chamber. I haven't done any disassembly and cleaning yet. Wondering if the side plate is...

Winchester Model 12 Trench Well since others are sharing... I lucked into this just a few months ago. Experts from other forums tell me this is a legit trench gun made in early 1943. Came with the 1917 bayonet and scabbard with is actually British.

Gotta Pair? Salt & Pepper Pairs that is :D 586 (no dash) blued 29-2 Nickel 19-3 blued 19-4 Nickel

Yeah, the pic does not show it very well but the "N" is at 12 o'clock in the pic.

^^ 10 bills. That seems to be in line with what I see on GunBroker but then I would have to pay shipping and FFL fees. Plus I'm in CA so this is "off roster" due to the lack of an integral lock.

The guy I bought it from was at least the 2nd owner. I certainly plan to shoot it.

The guy I bought it from said he never fired it. He also had a 29-3 that he used. Unfortunately he did not have the original box.

A brass brush won't scratch nickel? I have used Flitz with a cotton cloth on a nickel 19-4. Cleaning the cylinder face with cloth takes some time and elbow grease but it works.

It's in jail so I can't measure them. So a target hammer and trigger are wider than non target?

I purchased a Nickel 29-2 this past weekend that is currently on its 10 day timeout. It appears to be very lightly used (or just cleaned very well). There does appear to be some light powder fouling on the cylinder face. The bore looks unused. I could not detect any end shake. Can you guys...

I would have done the same but I was just 5 in 1974 so I don't think my mommy would have let me have a 29-2. :D I Googled "Inflation rate calculator" and found this site: Inflation Calculator | Find US Dollar's Value from 1913-2015 $228 in 1974 is equal to $1,097 in 2015 $475 in 1974 is equal...

Updated original post to add pics. Thanks guys.
