Born Again..Or how a S&W model 18-2 went from a "truck gun" to a "Farm gun"....

[Mr Evilwrench]

In my wanderings in & out lately, I'd missed this thread. I'm a fellow 64 model, and looking forward to being smithed on myself here coming up. Funny thing, a couple of days ago I broke down and bought a 686. Always been an automatic guy, but I've been feeling a little more free lately. I bet you know what I mean.

Wow that revolver is a beauty! Fantastic story, thanks for sharing.

I stopped in Falls City to see Rick and the pistol in question... not only did he do a fantastic job with the aged look on the grips, he scrimshawed a likeness of his "medical body art" into them. Now I'm not gonna say the shepherds hook looks like an Ebola virus under electron magnification; rather I think the surgeon was a latent Prince fan. I will say the scars look better on the grip than they would on me...

I love K22s. I also love this K22's imitation ivory grips.

How is that?

I need to do a set of grips like that for my 22 revolver...

That is AWESOME!!!!! Square butt J frame's grips in fake ivory are VERY affordable (as most people like round butts...I know I do...) and I noticed on fleabay that the square butt J frame Jay Scott's and Ajax go for about half of what the round butt's do...If you get a pair shoot me a PM and I will give you the run down of how I did it....

I have a 34-1 in 4 inch that is as accurate as my full size K 22's...I don' think many folks realize how accurate those little J frame .22's are...And they have got those delicious itty, bitty, cute target sights on them!!!!! Nice blade as well...Nice to know I am not the only guy that poses his Smith's with vintage bone handled blades...

I tried to rep but I need to "spread it around" so if someone would do the courtesy of some positive love here for 451 Detonics I would sure enough appreciate it...Beautiful pic sir worthy of rep.....
