Item Description: I have a very unique custom Smith and Wesson Classic 10-8 .38 revolver. This gun has extensive custom work that was done by a true perfectionist. It is a very unique piece but sadly just does not fit into my collection. It is a old S&W 10-8 blued with the deep black blur that the old ones had and the true quality of the old guns. It shows some finish wear from honest use but no rust or pitting. Just "character". I believe it was converted into a "PPC" revolver because it came with a sight rib attached. I enjoyed shooting it more with out the sight rib so that is how i am selling it. The custom work is outstanding, true old school quality. It has been converted to double action only with a bobbed hammer. The hammer is beautifully machined, clearly on a mil and not some dremil job. It was done right. if you hand cock the hammer there is not a "single action" position that it lands in.This is a true DOA pistol done correctly. It is one of the best if not the absolute best double action pull i have ever felt. No stacking, no grittiness or anything, just pure heaven.
The other truly unique thing on the revolver is the porting. The smith did a amazing job on the porting. There are two beautifully machined oval ports at 1 and 11 o'clock on the barrel. But that is really only half of the story. It looks like the smith back bored the barrel about .5 inches and then pressed in a piece on the muzzle end and bored it concentric with the barrel. This created a really genius little expansion chamber right below the ports with the pressed in piece acting as a brake.
In addition to that thee are other details that stand out. the trigger has a over travel stop installed. This came with a little cheap rubber grommet that allows you to take up all the slack right before the trigger drops. Also the cylinder is beautifully numbered 1-6.
I really love this gun. It is a joy to shoot and has so much character. But just does not fit my plans. it has some honest finish wear but no abuse at all. The top strap is drilled and tapped for the sight rail it used to wear. This was done correctly and does not go all the way though and now has a blank screw in it just like a factory scope mount.
I also have two other grips you can choose from. A Hogue rubber finger groove grip and another larger Pachmayr grip you can have. Chose whichever one makes you happy.
I will take $350 cash FTF in the metro Atlanta area. No shipping. Need to have a GA drivers license. Only trade would be for a G19 or M&P9 or a Marlin 1895 G .45-70 Guide gun.
