Anybody else hear angels singing when you look at the last post?

Holy cow man, that is an OUTSTANDING assortment of S&Ws. Great lookin grips on them as well. Looks like we shop at some of the same places, I've got a set of silver/black like your 627 PC grips on one of my wheel guns. Thanks for posting...

That 66-4 3" RB really is a helluva gun.

For real.

Awesome collection!

LOL..."angels singing"...thanks for the compliments!!!

Those grips on the 627 started out as the 'greenish' color ones but since they were not original i stained them after slightly reshaping them.
BTW, i really like your 629 PC snub. I want 627 version.

Thank you Sir,

I absolutely love shoot'n that thing. My local shop has the same model in .41 mag in stock that I've been drooling over for a while. I'd like to get my hands on a PC 625 at some point down the road...

A 625 PC would be a nice catch too. Grab one if you can, the .45s are really hot right now. The 625-3 in the bunch is a real sweet shooter, and is the last one that i'd ever get rid of. It took 2 years to find one at a decent price.

breech face question

I am not sure if I posted this on this site before, but I wanted to get some opinions on what you all think. I am contemplating buying another M&P off of a friend. I love mine so I figure why not have two. I broke it down and noticed the breech face has some kind of rippled pock marks. It isn't smooth. I have shot it before and it works fine but I wanted to see if anybody has ever seen this before or if it will cause any problems down the road.

Re: breech face question

I'm glad you posted a picture but I can't tell enough due to the lighting. The best I can tell from looking, the pocking is underneath of the finish (and not exposed corrosion).

So, my guess, is the pocking is nothing more than rough toolmarks, probably due to a worn/dull mill cutter when they were making it.

If that's the case, I don't think it should cause any problems. But in my humble opinion worthy of a slight discount because it will count against you if you were to trade it in later.

Re: breech face question

yeah it is for sure under the finish. I thought it was dull tolling that created it as well. I don;t really plan on selling it if I buy it. He has about 150 rounds through it and I put about hundred so it still newish. Not sure if anyone else has shot it.

Re: breech face question

I understand.

The only reason I suggested asking for a little discount, is, it will count against you in the end if you did ever sell it considering it's not "perfect", always takes $$$ away in the end.

Re: breech face question

I got it for 275. Not bad at all. I sent the pic to S&W to say what they say. Everyone I had look at it says it is tool marks. Should be good to go.

Recent gun show find...4" 625-3. Came with box, tools, and original Pachmayer rubber grips. Now wearing Combats.

top shelf revolver there

 

[nitesite]

I totally agree!

625 Smiffs are unbelieveable nice. Accurate as all get out and smooth like buttah.

So is that barrel ported 686 CS-1

And the 27-2 .357 Magnum in that mope540 pic..... God, what a jewel that one is.

thanks a lot, guys!!

btw, that CS-1 is not ported. I'd only buy a ported Smith if it's a K-Comp, or L-Comp, etc.
And I'm sorry to say, but the 27-2 was sold the very same day that i bought the 625. It was in great shape and only getting more valuable. Sold it to a local collector that will take good care of it. The 625 will be shot..a LOT
