4 inch and 3.5 Inch 27s and Pre-27s

[Sebago Son]

Back in the bad old days when this forum was young we had a tradition of making a "wheel' of sixguns. While I don't have a wheel to show, I think I have a few.

I was in the south west in the late 80's and went to every retirement party, bent alot of elbows, bought alot of rounds for the fellas who were leaving the service in retirement. Alot of decent guns came to me that way...

Ahhh the "OLD" days... never had a wheel, but did manage a "STICK" ..Sadly all move on to other caretakers..

Now that's the long and short of it...the wheel that is.

Wow! Very nice collections. Some can only dream.

My wheel seems to be missing a few spokes.

Great collection! I hope you can pass along to your family. I always wanted a 3 inch model 66. Thankyou S&W forum.

Beautiful - who made the wooden grips on these?

The M27 stocks are Culina fancy walnut that Curt Harlow checkered in a Roper style.
The M66 are S&W smooth presentation stocks that Curt also checkered. Kind of K frame cokes.
M19 stocks are Grashorn elk stags.

Thanks for noticing them. Would be hard in this group.

You would need a Pit-loader wheel to splay all of those out

Can't figure out what sort of wheel I could make with my 2.
You guys are impressive.

I kinda' like the early .357s myself.

A flat tire.
Ok, I shouldn't joke my wheel only had three.

I have a few, all are 27-2s except the 3-1/2" which is a 27. Always looking for more.

very very nice. Thank you for safeguarding them but also for passing them on. I think that is a topic under discussed. They aren't making anymore classic Smiths, but everyone here wants them. The deal is you can't simultaneously hope to get a hold of your next grail gun but then swear on a stack of bibles you will never let it go. That's hypocritical. If no one ever passed them on, no one else would ever get to enjoy being the guardian for a period of time. I'm thankful as hell for all the guys before me who took great care of nice revolvers. I am even more thankful they arrived at a point in their lives when they chose to make them available to others.

Good to know where all the short .357s are hiding out!

Daaamn, that is a serious addiction! I really feel for you, feel terribly envious! Fabulous collection!
