Hi from Downunder

Hi guys & gals,
Newbie from Australia, have just purchased my first S&W gun a 586-1 357 mag revolver, built around 1987 but in not to bad condition. I placed a thread in the smithing forum as I am after a gas ring for her, seemsb to be a missing part, but s&w are not much help, no parts. Any how hopefully I can ask some questions and get some answers from you guys. Cheers
Russ

Greetings, From South Carolina.

I am new to guns so I probably wouldn't be much help, but have you downloaded the schematic diagram for your revolver? If you can get the part number of what you need it would be a start

Welcome to the forum from SW Ohio. Have you look at gunpartscorp.com? They show the gas ring for the 586-1 in stock for $8.00 US. Good Luck.

If you get a minute maybe you can start a new thread and give us an update on the gun laws in Oz and so forth and what you can and cannot own.

You're not the only Aussie on here. There are a few. I'm a S&W shooter and collector from Sydney.

Sorry but can't help with those parts.

Gunparts corp has your part. I thought a handgun was restricted Post 1993?... and a short list of semi autos with 5 rds mags. As to importing parts if Under 100.00USD in value and not a restricted part ( Receiver) it can be mailed direct, Ive bought M1 Garand parts from Italy, Greece, Canada without a issue. PS Welcome...My dad spent 4 years in the 1970's building a Atomic power plant their, Had a 1960 Humber that he LOVED...like a Mini RR in looks and quality.

That's a problem with S&W concerning overseas customers. They want to do all their own work which requires getting the gun back to the factory. With 'help' over the phone being the way it it is, I wouldn't expect much but if you call the factory and have the model and serial number handy, they might at least be able to arrange something.
