Hello all. I was hoping I could get some advice. I spotted a LNIB 629-? 3 inch barrel w/out lock and wood S&W grips in my local gun shop. I have lately become a 3inch revolver nut and have been grabbing them up when I see them. I have never owned a .44 magnum and was wondering what I could...

Visiting one of my local pawn/gun shops, I think I may have found a little treasure. A Winchester Defender with wood stocks (kind of a light color wood), showing very little wear and very smooth. The only thing I do not like is the little front gold bead sight. I believe it is an 8 shot (it does...

Wow, my list goes can go on forever. Here are a few that are on the top of my list for now...... Glock 34 S&W 65 3 inch (pre-lock) SA 1911-A1 Loaded Stainless Glock 21 Remington Marine Magnum 10/22 for ultimate customizing Always on the lookout for j and k frame Smiths... I know...

Well, I went and the only thing I could find was stuff labeled "0000 Steel Wool." The stuffs purpose was for in between paint jobs. I could not find any "equivalent" to steel wool stuff. It was a fairly large bag of metal looking stuff that looked like soft steel wool. It was located with...

Thanks for the tips guys. I'm heading off to the hardware store here in a little bit. Can anyone tell me specifically what kind of scouring pads to purchase at the hardware store? The scratches/blemishes are not deep at all, so I think the kitchen pads I have will probably be too abrasive...

I have acquired a couple of new stainless S&W revolvers and I would like to improve the finish on them. The 686+ I got for a steal and functions wonderfully, but the finish has some dull spots, small scratches and could use some work. I know S&W will do a complete refinish job, but it is not...

I recently picked up two 686-4's. Both of them are + models. One I picked up for $350 locally and the other I got on GunBroker for $415 shipped. The more expensive one was in LNIB shape. The cheaper one had been used but not abused without anything. Ultimately it is up to you. I think...

This has DHart all over it. I'm sure he will post a few, but you can do a search for DHart and find many of his excellent pictures. Hoss

Thanks for all the replies thus far guys. This gun shop is actually participating in a local gun show this weekend and their prices always come down about 10-15% for the shows. I will probably go and pick up a few of them this weekend. BTW, they are all 2inch snubbies. Thanks again. Hoss

My local gun shop just bought 150 police trade in S&W 64-2 .38specials. They were bought from the California Department of Corrections and seem to be in good shape. Each serial number starts with CDCXXXX (Calif. Dept. of Corrections). All parts are original, including the wooden grips with...

Wow, that is gorgeous. I have been real interested in the 686 3inch, but have also been unsuccessful. Is that made entirely of S&W parts or are there some aftermarket? I'd love to get my hands on one. Hoss

Thanks for the welcome Tuner. I have been lurking for a while and come here almost every day. I am still in the learning mode though and dont have a bunch to contribute (why post count is so low). Love the site, and appreciate you help. He swears it's a 581 stainless. I'm gonna have him...

Thanks for the replies thus far guys. The gentleman I am talking to says that it is most definately a 581, but that it is in Stainless Steel. All the information I am finding says the 581 was made in Blued (Carboned?) Steel. Could this guy have something special, or is he just wrong about the...

O.K., who know about this revolver? I can not find any information on it. I can pick up a used one for $325, but I have not seen it yet. I will of course inspect it before laying any cash down, but I was wondering if you guys knew anything about this revolver. Pictures would be great. Why...

As I type, I have a Glock 26 in a Galco Ankle Glove. It took me about a week to get used to having the ankle rig, but I really love it now. I work in a business casual environment and this was realy my only option. My pockets are for wallet, cell phones, keys etc.. so that would not work. I...
