The S&W .44 Special that never was.

I think it should have been though. Magna-port was unnecessary, but I'll take it as a value-added feature. This is a 686-2 round butt, a 696 cylinder and internals, and a 629 4" barrel re-marked for .44 Special. A tapered Mountain Gun or 624 barrel would have been nice, but I'll keep it as-is. The pics are from the guy I got it from, I'm getting lazy.

    - I completely forgot we have a S&W 586 to compare it to. - Andrew, 2013-10-29, 19:50
  - Possibly an aftermarket bbl? - Brian A, 2013-10-29, 21:37
