    FrankenSmith... Keep or Sell?

    Edit: Decided to sell in case someone wants it... Worst case I will enjoy keeping it!

    I have plenty of other S&W revolvers so the question is will this be fun or is it just a monstrosity. I will add the following context to the question of "Keep or Sell?": I do have .38 ammo around to feed this FrankenSmith. Anyhow, I have some long-winded posts on this forum so I will let the photos do the talking.

        Gawd, why would someone do that to a Smith revolver. Makes me cringe.

          whoever would deface a nice old smith like that should be banned from owning anything more than a highpoint

            It's a shame, I can only hope the barrel was blown out or something... Anyhow, it is done. It's different, I have never owned or shot a scoped handgun and it still retains the things that are great about a S&W from a trigger and accuracy perspective. It has a nice trigger job as well...

              KEEP IT!!!! I saw this gun

              You wont be able to get much for it since it is not a top notch PPC revolver.

              Nut You will have a tough time finding a better shooter. I would keep it.

                I was thinking that but no front or rear sight, will have to do some work on it... Maybe the red dot sight could pay for the sights.

                  I'd keep it. Not a "collector" but it's interesting and no doubt it's a tack driver. Looks like it would be fun to shoot.

                  Definitely not something you see every day at the range. I like that in a revolver.

                  You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
                  You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

                    I think it needs a bigger scope

                      Jeez! Have none of y'all ever even seen a PPC revolver? Or an ICORE revolver?

                      This is fairly typical of the breed.

                          That is cute but I think you need to put a rail under the front of the barrel and then attach a custom 10" bowie bayonet and it will sell through the roof to a borderlands fan on gunbroker... $800 easy...
