S&W military and police .38 special
I was recently given this revolver by a relative. Considering the finish wear I didn't expect much in accuracy from it but when it went to the range the other day it out shot my Colt Officer's model heavy barrel. The bore is perfect and the lockup is tight. The grips are pretty skinny and make holding onto it a bit of a challenge.
It was made in 1954 so it and I are the about the same age!

It removes history, my dad did refinish a stock on a lee, but it was an unused stock, the original still sits untouched elsewhere. It's got a sniper cheek piece on and a mount made that required no gunsmithing and holds the pecar scope on lovely.snayperskaya wrote:All the wear has a tale to tell!, personally I don't understand the folks that refinish wartime service rifles so they look like new.Hunter87 wrote:You should get it reblued
