S&W Model of 1899 M&P

Very sweet. Plan on doing any shooting with it?

[Jcordell]

Yes I do, but it will 38 special 158 grain LRN only. I looked it over today and tonight I will take off the side plate for a closer look. But there are no bulges or cracks that I can see. The bore is clean and the timing is good.

I also will not be using it for any marathon shooting sessions. It's an old timer and will be treated as such.

Nice. Really beautiful, old Smiths are uncommon here (Colt dominates the "old revolver in good condition" market)

[BeardedHoplite]

Gotta love those old Smith & Wessons. Sweet find for a pawnshop.

That`s awesome! I`ve come across one or two over the years, but never in such nice condition. Great price too! Is that a 4 inch barrel

[Jcordell]

Yes that is a 4" barrel. According to the salesman it had been for sale for almost a year and almost nobody was looking at it. He said I was the only person to show such interest in it. He had an original price tag of $500.00 on it, but made me a deal. I suppose just to get it off of the shelf.

I figure the store probably paid no more than $250.00 for it - if that much. So even by coming down they still made a profit and I got a neat little S&W classic for a reasonable price.
