I purchased this as a project several years and am selling as such because I realized I am unlikely to pursue working on it.
The good - it is a decent looking stainless steel snub-nosed 38 revolver for $250, and includes about 20 rounds of ammo I received when I purchased it. The timing looks normal to my untrained eye, but I have not fired it.
This was purchased, from odt, and previous owner states he fired it with no adverse effects.
The bad- when you open the cylinder, the cylinder and ejector rod assembly have play in them. If you pull hard, you can remove it from the gun. If you open and shut it normally, it moves forward a millimeter or so but is retained
Looking at the side plate screws, they are a little bit beat up. Someone likely had it opened. My guess as to what is happening is that the front screw had some kind of detent, which is no longer there. Without the detent, the screw does not contact the ejector sufficiently allowing it to move.
Additionally, one grip b bushing and screw for the grips is missing. I am told that J frame (square butt) grips will work on this, but I'm not sure.
Other information- this looks like a j framed Smith & Wesson but is built by a company called Security Industries of America. My understanding is this was the first stainless steel revolver made.
It was a company in New Jersey, and has been out of business for quite a while.
Again, selling as a project.
Not looking for trades, cash only. Not willing to ship.
Must be Georgia resident with Georgia ID and legal to own. Only established members with positive feedback, please.
I'm working at a project off of Roswell Road and Holcomb Bridge- I can meet within a few miles of there.
Pm for more info.
Thanks, and stay safe.
