Just saw my first wire-tie on a used S&W. Specifically a 29-2 nestled in a disintegrating blue plastic thing in a nondescript wooden box. It exhibited a pretty healthy turn line.
Wazzup with a wire-tie on a piece that already has a turn line, I inquire? Evidently, the intent is that the turn line not get any turnier lest the new owner elect to treat as an investment.
How depressing.
Given my singular nearly spectacular sorry luck with buying product that can't be checked out I've sworn off the practice. Colts had pretty much already been positioned such that they were either remote or wire-tied and thus outside what I could buy but it appears nicer pre-lock S&Ws are starting to join them.
Anybody else noticing wire-ties starting to show up on boxed (but not new) Smiths?
