A friend has a pre 42 with a cracked frame..any idea on a price for all the parts minus the frame, smooth grips in great condition, barrel and side plate blueing also good? Looking for a realistic price for S&W members..not GB prices. Thanks, Joe
The grips if in nice condition have some value but nothing special with the rest of the parts that are interchangeable with other J frames except for the squeeze cocker mechanism. Used parts that are fit to a specific gun may or may not work properly in another. I would look at eBay pricing and go from there. If someone needed a cylinder or barrel you might get $50 for each.
The only guns those grips will fit are the mod 40 & mod 42. The washer in the back is smaller than other J frames.
