Looks great from here Lomax. Congrats on you acquisition. Hope the 72 hrs goes quick.
Just a Teaser S&W 296 TI
I bought this revolver Saturday during the Labor Day weekend so it didn't ship until this last Tuesday. Yesterday, Tom gave me a call saying the NTM 296 had arrived. Trouble is, after driving 50 miles to fill out the 4473, and since I'm a resident of the 57th communist state of Illinois, I now have to wait out an additional 72 hour waiting period before I can take possession. Anyway, I did get to inspect the revolver up close and took a couple of pics during my visit to the LGS.
The previous owner(s) didn't fire it much. This 296 is missing its factory paperwork, stock grip panels and trigger lock. Its condition is at the 95% mark. A slight drag mark on the cylinder is visible and tiny bit of powder residue can be found near the forcing cone, revealing very limited usage. There are a couple tiny spots of corrosion showing, but other than that, it's a nice looking piece. I need to get it home for a good cleaning and touch of oil.

As for shooting this little puppy, I'm short on brass and have yet to pull apart the cowboy loads that turned the Bulldog's barrel into a Roman water pipe. Nor have I located a decent set of rubber grips to replace the 296's fancy looking wooden stocks. Besides, I haven't ran out of film yet. Here's a few pics of the 296 alongside a bobbed hammer Bulldog.
