WTB: Several S&W parts

MMA10mm · #1 02-06-2010, 03:03 AM

I'm looking for the following, if anyone has extras lying about:

K-Frame Fuzzy Farrant or John Hurst grips. The Holy Grail would be Coco Bolo combats with the frame-cut, but I'll look at any combats w/ frame cut.
S&W 686 Mountain Gun barrel
S&W 696 (44 Spl. L-frame) 5-shot cylinder
S&W L-frame (will buy the whole gun, if a good price) - specifically looking for a well-used/worn/broken (a.k.a. "cheap") 686. I'll be using the frame for a project, so I'd like it to be in good shape, but internal parts, cylinder, barrel, and grips are not needed or not needed to be in good shape.

Don't know if I've got the $$ to buy all of these simultaneously, but I've been looking for awhile, and don't think I'll have multiple offers on these all at once either!

Bump after a long wait, hoping someone new (or old) sees it and has this stuff...

Thanks to both who responded. I think I'll have my 629 bbl soon.

Are you looking for a stainless (flash chromed) finish trigger or the case-hardened finish trigger?

MMA10mm · #10 08-17-2010, 06:20 PM

I should have thought about that, shouldn't I?

I'm not sure. My project for the trigger is to narrow it to about .350-.360" and round-over and polish the face. Either trigger will work, so it really comes down to cosmetics. The gun will retain the case-hardened hammer, so the case-hardened trigger would be the matching part. Of course, narrowing and rounding-over will remove the majority of the hardening colors on it too, and I don't like that look.

The other angle is that I'm making an endurance-package 629-4 look like a 629 (no dash), as I'm looking for a recessed cylinder as well... For it to look that vintage, it should have the flash-chromed parts in both places... Also, the rounded and polished face of the trigger will look better on the flash-chromed trigger. You got a flash-chromed hammer to go with the trigger?

Bump cause I'm still looking and I've modified the list.

Mid-year bump, and modification of the list.

I have Fuzzy grips with and without frame cuts. Send me an email to [email protected] and we can talk.
Thanks
