Jumping on to this thread...
Similar experience as previous members. Grandfather passed a couple years ago and my Grandmother just gave me a couple of his guns. One is a S&W 4046 40 cal - VDV9296. Just looking for a mfg. date if possible. Thanks! |

Manufacture date of 586?
Can someone tell me the manufacture date of my 586 no dash.
ADN53XX serial no# Also there is no M or 2 so that tells me that there is no MOD or L frame improvement mod. However I've been told that if the 586 was built after a particular date then it does not need the MOD. So if I can find out the built date then that would help. Thanks |

The recall was from an issue involving only a few guns and with a certain brand of 357 Mag ammo. The primer metal would flow back into the firing pin hole and tie up the action. S&W's fix is to replace the firing pin bushing. If you are not experiencing that problem then I would not worry about it. Jim |

On the .38, that sn would put the gun in the 1972-73 time frame, which means it definitely should have a model number (they started numbering in 1957). The model number should be stamped on the part of the frame that's exposed when you swing the cylinder out - it's most likely a Model 10, but there are a couple of other possibilities. If it's a Model 10, then it will be either a 10-5 (tapered barrel) or 10-6 (heavy barrel).

I need help identifying the year and value of a revolver I got from my grandfather. I was told it was his sidearm in World War II. On the barrel it says "38 S&W Special CTG". The bluing is in very good condition, the gun still fires (although it has not been fired in 20+ years), and to the best of my knowledge, all parts are original. The serial number on the butt is 503109. Below are pictures of both sides of the gun.

I just bought a Smith-Wesson 625-8 Performance Center with the serial CRY****. Could anyone help me place the approx date of manufacture?
Also, does anyone else know if the 625 Jerry Miculek grips are any wider and more handfilling that the ugly technicolor grips that come with the gun? Thank you. |
