This thread is a catchall of the threads: "Are there any bargains out there" "DIY" "Are gun shows worth going to...." "Pistols" etc

I picked up this 66-2 4" at the local gun store. I sold mine to my best friend 25 years ago for $200 cash. He won't sell it back to me! Go figure! Anyway, this one was cheap because it was pretty trashed inside and out. I took it completely apart, smoothed and cleaned the internals, smoothed the rebound system and fixed the boogered up sideplate screws. I hit the outside surfaces with crocus cloth, then red rouge on a slow wheel to bring it back to factory satin.

Soda blasted the S&W medallions, then 12 thin coats of Tru-Oil. 4-O steel wool between the last three coats.

I picked up the blue velvet lined walnut case at the last Wannamachers. $20 CASH......! I didn't have a gun to fit in it, but ya never know!

As I'm working on the gun, I remembered the box in the closet. You guessed it, fits like a glove!
