I finally got around to sending that 686 back in to Smith and Wesson.
Question is.....if I ask them to do a trigger job....will they do that if I offer pay for it??

I've got a couple pf 686s ... great pistols. I kinda like mine the way they are but maybe mine are just that broken-in, I dunno. I've put a lot of rounds through both of them.

I got to call them before they send it back!
They said they figured to have it a month. Pretty darn good turnaround.

I have a 5 inch 629 that I have to pack a screw driver set around with me to shoot it. Everything on it is loose. Maybe I should lock tite it?

Smith's prices seem reasonable too.
Thats good. I save all my Christmas money. Been paying the kids rodeo entry fees with it.
Used to make my spending money playing music.
With the year we have had...it looks like I will be buying the kids Christmas presents with my Christmas money.
....which is a long way to say....I might just be able to afford an action job!

He is well known for building high quality Ruger Blackhawks no different than Hamilton Bowen (Bowen Custom Arms) in terms of quality. A recommendation... http://bowenclassicarms.com/links.html#Forkin%20Custom%20Arms

That would be good Ed.
My favorite thing is a flat top 44 special.
Got some guns that I am not happy with. A marlin 45 and a Ruger 45.
Plus some Miroku rifles.
Would be nice to have some place to take them.

I’d be interested in how it turns out as well. I have a model 69 that has a decent trigger that doesn’t stack but I wouldn’t mind it a little lighter in the trigger pull and overall just smoothed out.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.
