SMith and Wesson age and parts
SInce ive been hankering for a smith and wesson revolver, I thought id get online and try to see if i could find a legendary vintage smith at "reasonable prices" folks talk about. And oddly enough, I actually am finding them.
Even finding model 28s for less then a current production model 10. Almost swallowed my tongue.
Looking deeper at the listings, i noticed cosmetic issues of course. Extra cost to fix. But what hit me is that most of them are -3 to -7 K frame variants.
What are the chances of getting replacement parts for them these days? Ive seen some articles online with statements that no parts for guns before 1990 exist, some state no parts pre 2000 are possible. Im talking screws, springs, triggers, and the like.
