I was able to find a 6906 in fair shape on GB back in early January for $300. It was about in normal condition, with a lot of holster wear, faded sights and a well worn original set of grips. So, I rescued it, with a complete custom restoration in mind, as I already have a bone stock 6906 in excellent shape. I stripped the entire gun down, had a custom trigger job done by a friend, replaced every spring with new Wolfe springs, polished all interior pieces so everything was as smooth as silk. I was able to locate a new old stock barrel polished the feed ramp, sent the frame assembly to a company and had it CeraKoted in a graphite black, installed new set of Hogues, redone the sights myself and refinished all of the stainless parts including the frame to remove all scratches and dings. CDNN actually had some new S&W 12 round magazines for 29.99 a while back and was able to grab 4 of those for it. I even actually found a Gould & Goodrich holster for it for $10! Heading out tomorrow to tune it up at the range.
