Interest for seconds or bad S&W's?
Hey guys, I'm not sure if I should put this here or not.Since I'm starting to get the first run out the door, I figured I had all these other guns that would just go in the trash. But This came to me today, I have a bunch of guns with air bubbles, shorter barrels, imperfections that range from decent to wow that's @#$%. But I thought some guys might want some holster stuffers? If anyone is interested in some just holster stuffer hand ejectors, post here and I can get a list going. Off the top of my head I think I have about 9 or 10 that I don't deem good enough to send out for the good run. I'll throw a coat of paint on them for a bit extra, and they won't come with lanyard rings. But it's still a cheap alternative to a resin gun.
I'll post some pics when I get back and can check the guns. I'll post here to give COW members firt dibs.

I'm up for that action.
Might pick up two of the 'meh' grade ones. and later, when you make the Webleys, I'll get one of your high end versions.

Well the guns will be on a per case basis. So I'm thinking $40ish for the meh ones and the decent maybe $55 ish. Some can be fixed. Lots of small pinholes, a couple have some big air bubbles on the cylinder. Say $10 for paint? Most are fixable with bondo and some time.
I have a couple that are flawless, but the barrel is too short by about 1 cm. So I will make a couple "shorty's" and sell those for $80. They're cold cast and great, just the barrel is smaller. It's almost not noticable. But let me get pics and I'll price them accordingly.

I keep on forgetting the camera at home or to bring the stupid things home with me. This weekend pics will be up and pricing.
serrecuir: I can't do the barrel unless you just want one cast and for me to cut it off a resin cast. But it won't fit like a real barrel. But I can do the grips for you. I powder coat the mould with the brown so if you don't want that let me know with the order.

MMMMMMM KAY! I have taken some pics and hoepfully this works out. Now some of these need the barrels drilled and some need the holes for the yoke drilled too. All need the bottom drilled out for a lanyard ring. I'll do that if you wish. I took pics of 4 and I'll describe them from the top right going clockwise. If the gun doesn't have a sight it needs to be added after, I can do that or you can. All the guns have been sanded very rough or not at all. Lots of trimming and finishing may be required. Now for the rest of the stuff like cylinders and whatnot, I have some with holes and stuff. They are all fixable and I'll just throw them in. If you get a cold cast, then your cylinder will be cold cast, if it's regular it might be primed or raw plastic.
Set one: (Top left one not for sale)
Top Right - Has filler on the front of the frame where the yoke rests. Needs more filling and there are some air bubbles in the gun. Small ones. Trademarks in tact. Needs filling under the trigger guard. Cast in regular plastic. $45
Bottom Right - Trades are intact, minus a couple letters right by the sight. Needs filling on the front by where the yoke rests. Also needs work on the trigger guard, and by the hammer. Cast in regular plastic. $55
Bottom Left - Cast in regular plastic. Grey colour. Needs trigger guard work (filling), and at the front by the yoke. Trades are intact. $65
Set Two:
Top Right - Meeds filling on the trigger guard, cylinder release, frame by the S&W logo, and all by the hammer and rear of the gun. All trades intact and this is cold cast task 8 plastic. So it'll be a bit more. $75
Bottom Right - Little bit of filling needed on trigger guard. Big spot missing on the rear next to cylinder release. (In picture). All trades intact and cold cast task 8 plastic. $80
Bottom Left - Perfect cast. Only problem is the barrel is about 5mm to short. I can add the sight or you can add it later. Cold Cast task 8 plastic. $85
Top Left - Cold cast in task 8 plastic. The barrel is really short. It also needs work on the one side (see picture). Other than that it's good.
I put a comparison picture for a correct length to the shorty. $80
And the place that needs fixing.
So that's it. The yokes and extractors for the regular plastic are good to go. The cylinders need some work. Some of them have a couple holes or air bubbles, but all are fixable.
**MODS*** I know it's more than 6 photos, but I figured it would be a for sale thread it might be alright? Left me know and I can try to cut it down.

Resin colt
I would be interested in one that does have correct barrel length. I can fill my own holes and paint it myself. I will not need laniard hole.
When would you be able to ship? How does one pay for your item?
