On March 27, 1894, Daniel Wesson received Patent 517152, the design for the "swing-out" style of cylinder seen in all modern S&W revolvers.
Pictured here is a .38 M&P Model of 1902, it is among the first model of revolvers to feature the swing-out style of cylinder. It is still in production today, commonly known as the Model 10.

does anyone here own the model 10???
*raises hand*

I’ve got a 1914 vintage M&P .38 3rd change; a 1921 vintage M&P .38 4th change, a 1942 Victory Model, a 1950 pre-M10, a 10-5, and a 64 (forget the dash, but late-80’s production) Model 64.

ETA—forgot my Model 12 Airweight.

As well as Model 15’s, Model 67’s…move to the magnums, and 13’s, 19’s, 65’s, 66’s…

Let alone the pre17 and M17 K22’s…

The K-frame is probably my favorite revolver series ever; the N-frame is a close second.

dang...some of you guys have one heck of a collection.

good for you

too bad that for me, not only did i start incredibly late in life with this sport/hobby, but it's the way it was for me growing up. no guns in any house i ever lived in, no guns raising my family.

i'll live thru the collections you guys have.
 
someone has a Garand for sale at my range. i tried picking up this monster, way too heavy for these old bones...

can you see the pricing.>??

inline for what they go for, or too much..???

That’s a little high, but…with that ammo? Not extortionate.

Honestly? If I could get that for, say $2-2200, depending on what the ammo is (US vs foreign), and wanting to check throat & muzzle numbers….I would seriously consider it.

not being a rifle guy, i had to look up "throat".

would that be the serial number, continued onto other pieces?

like the barrel of a 1911 and the frame..??

or actually any barrel and frame

No, you’d need throat erosion & muzzle wear gauges.

You can (down & dirty) check muzzle wear with a .30-06 round, though. Instead of a long explanation…just Google how.
 
Here is the CMP M1 Grand info-

Expert Grade (a Service grade with new stock and barrel) goes for about $1150-$1450


They also have some for auction-

Midway had the Ammo cans of ammo for $239.99 X 4 ~ $960.00
Saw some Korean Surplus ammo at ~ $26.00 /20
and this Sellier & Bellot M2 Ball, .30-06 Springfield (M1 Garand), FMJ, 150 Grain Of 500 Rounds $260.00
