Through some fortunate trading............
I became the owner of a real nice 657-3 Classic Hunter .41 magnum today. Ser # CBS93XX. 6 1/2 inch barrel.
It had some butt ugly Pachmayr wood/rubber hybrid grips on it, so I replaced them with Hogue Pau Ferros. Much better!
I hadn't intended on getting another .41 since I'll be getting my M57 in a couple weeks, but I couldn't resist. It begged me to take it home.
There's not a mark on it. It's like new.
I am going out to the boonies next week, so I'd better go pick up some ammo. This big fella is going to be fun!
How many of these did they make?
What year is this one?
I thought they had unfluted cylinders....?
Here's a few pics:
It's a definite break from my blued gun "run" that I've been on, but hey, N Frames is N Frames
