S&W 3rd Gen Semi Autos

[mcapo]

There are some nice 3rd gen 45's on the SW forum. I have dealt with the seller before. Good guy!

Someone buy the 457s before I do!!!!

Not me I gotta give it time from the last 457 I bought.

A decent 3906 starting at 475.

Well I tried putting the guts in for a test run friday but ran into an issue. I used my 4506 as reference but once together if you cock the hammer it locks everything up. Not sure if the spurless hammer is the problem or the wrong search as it says Dao on it.

Your playing at a level I don't know much about.

My 3rd gen smithing experience is limited to some part swaps and a little inconsequential polishing.

 

[1775usmarine]

It's been a yr or two since I stripped any of my smith's. I also got a jackass holster in the works once the guy on the smith forum sends me his mailing address which would go nice with this build.

I guess the wave of buying 3rd gens has slowed. Not much going on gb. Watched a recent 457 sell for more than what I paid and in worse condition with one mag. Seen Southern Ohio guns had 5906 mags on sale for 8.95 if you bought 20 or more. They had less than 40 when I seen it on Friday.

Well, me not winning any didn't last long. Won a 4014 on GB tonight, so I've got to get that paid for now...

A 4014?

Dang, you are getting some super low production number variations in your stash!!!!

EDIT: The spreadsheet shows 550 made.

You could convert that to a 10mm.

I threw a bid in, fully expecting it to not do a darn thing. Someone had made an opening bid at the opening price, but that was it, $5 got the thing.

Oh that is just crazy. What a steal.

 

[kscessnadriver]

I should have said a bid $5 higher got the thing. Still, just over 400 ain't bad.

 

[1775usmarine]

Was going to say wish I could get a 3rd Gen for $5.

Also picked up a 4014 this week, must be in the water. I haven't had a 3rd gen in many, many years. My first gun was a 457, and had a couple others sprinkled in there in the mid 90's. I bought this one to dispose of some .40 ammo that I had leftover. I haven't decided if I am going to make it a safe queen and keep it, or shoot this ammo up and trade it off. Only time will tell.....

Glad I found this one, no MIM and in excellent+ condition.

Mine isn't quite that clean, but for the money I'm thrilled.

Makes me want a 4014 now

 

[mcapo]

Those are both really nice 4014s. I don't have a single 3rd gen that isn't stainless...

 

[smasherofall]

Just a heads up, I've listed my CS45 in the classifieds, I'm currently bidding on a stainless one on GB
