This revolver lived in the door panel of a pickup truck for 20 years before it showed up at my place.
I thought you would like to see what could be had with a little time and money.
Smith & Wesson revolvers are one of my great loves, and this gun means a lot to the guy that brought it to me.
His Dad has had the gun for the last 20 years and now it is his turn to get it ready for his boy to get in 20 more.
Before
I think his Dad and new son will be proud to see what has become of the old work horse
After
What do you think of the final product?
That’s bad ass. I really like the contrast between the stocks and beadblasted finish. I’m usually not big on full lugs, but she’s gorgeous. Very well executed.
The phrase “better than new” is what leaps to mind.
I have always loved the rugged Smith revolvers, especially the 686.
Thank you guys it is humbling to see what people think of my work.

Excellent work!! I think we are going to have to start calling you Doctor Smith, S&W MD.
Very cool, lovely work, we are lucky to have such a fine craftsman here in the Bluegrass State!

Mr. Smith you do absolutely gorgeous work. Makes me want to go buy a stainless K frame and get your revolver package.
I want this done except for the bead blasting. How much do grips like that add?
Are you open in the next couple of weeks for me to call and discuss?
I would be glad to talk about it with you.
It would be fun to do let me know when you are ready.
Looks outstanding! Kinda makes me wish I hadn’t sold my 686-3 recently.

Thanks. When I come across a K frame that I can’t live without, I will jump on it.
