[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 554910, member: 25383"] a real shame about that 39A! Sounds like that old guy (last I heard he was seventy) has retired. He was the only person for the last few years that built 39's, and he built one a day. Between my brother and I, we have at least four of them. Never a problem. Do have one special one that has an octagon barrel and gold enlay that's never had a round chambered in it. I have had other firearms that screwed up right out of the box, but never a problem getting them fixed. I had one Colt Match Target 22 pistol that had to be completely rebuilt, and they did it in fine fashion! Not even the slightest whimper. They had to replace the barrel and maybe the barrel shroud. Didn't have one, so they ordered in an aftermarket match barrel for it. While they had the pistol they sent it over to teir custom shop for a complete going thru. Total cost involved was a three month wait and two letter of apologies. I had a 629 Classic Hunter that was stolen from me, and recovered. I didn't like something about it and asked S&W to look it over (looked like it'd been dropped). When S&W called me I asked them about refinishing the outside of the gun to their performance center bead blasted finish, and paid them $80 to do this as well as relaser etch all the logos. The gun was returned with several parts replaced, but with the same factory finish. My gunsmith caught it before I showed up. and contacted them about it. I sent it back, and got a personal phone call from them with apologies.. The Gun comes back with a glass beaded finish, and was beautifull! Gunsmith called them to tell them they still got it wrong! But I told S&W I was keeping it as I liked this finish better yet. Now they were a little slow, but Never charged me a penny except for the refinish work. That's what I liked about them, and probably will buy another someday. gary [/QUOTE]
