Usually post in the 3G forum...but do have "a few" 357s...

1984 S&W 686 No Dash 2.5" Magnaport Custom (1of2 known to exist)

Just purchased and received from the original owner; an older gentleman in NC. He purchased 2 Brand New in 1984 and immediately sent them to Magnaport for the work. The list below is over $800 now. Then anyone's guess on cost.

Magnaport actually then sent both to S&W for the "M" Stamp recall work. They would not work on the guns otherwise. No matter my original 1984 686 4" had the "M" Stamp performed. GTG.

Once complete when returned to his FFL he convinced the owner to sell him 1 which he did as he was a friend. Does that still exist somewhere today? Check your WeeGee Board and let me know.

Services Performed:
Jewel and Polish Trigger and Hammer
Inverted Muzzle Crown
Front Sight Insert (Red)
Combat Trigger Conversion..Smooth Face and Polish
Action...S&W Double Action
Etch MagNaPort Logo
Velvet Hone Finish
Polish Cylinder Flutes, Cylinder Release, Screws and Ejector Rod

Nice Roscoe Porter.

Best, Dave

Very nice!

I lusted after the snubbie 629 in the Mag-na-port ads back then, and ended up buying a Lew Horton 686 snubbie in ~1986. I eventually traded that off for a 3" 629 snubbie and sent that to Mag-na-port. Couldn't afford the full Monty, so I just got the porting.

I own a Magnaport custom 686 Mtn gun and have had a 2nd 357 cylinder redone by Pinnacle High Performance. the 686 as original fires 38 & 357 or change the cylinder and it fires 9mm, 9x21, or 38 Super using moon clips. I'll add a picture when I take a good one.
