So, today, let's look at an update:
Hmmmm.....I thought that I had a picture of my old, nickel-plated Model 10 4" that I took immediately after my 2018 fire, but I guess not. Anyway, suffice it to say that the gun was burned, but the six rounds in the cylinder had not cooked off, and I was able to unload the revolver successfully. Presently, however, the gun is locked up but, since I was never going to shoot it again, anyway, it doesn't matter. The juvenile in me plans to powder coat the gun, hopefully in red, white, and blue, or some other color depending on what my powder coating guy has available.
Anyway, the final, decorative version will have S&W original rubber stocks on it. They came off a M686+ that now wears gorgeous Altamont stocks.
