Just received new to me Monson 357 Max SM. Has a little barney on frame, but is very nice and not been used a lot.

I'm a happy camper big-grin I put my 15-2 8" next to it in one pic just to compare.

Nice 40 Dave .. that flame cut is nothing. Research shows that the flame cutting will go on for about halfway through the topstrap and then stops (on a Dan - cuts through like butter on Ruger Blackhawks).

Thanks guys, the grip is nearly flawless !! I may put on monogrip to shoot it so I don't f it up wink

I agree Stinger, very minor cutting and cylinder/hand have very little wear also. I need to get a large EWK wrench soon.

And calmly waiting for ammo !!yelllaughing

Nice score!  Beware, these Supermags are addictive, I'll wager this won't be your only SM in a short while winkdwas.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Yes, anything over 2 of the same model is DWAS.  Anything over 5 of different models is also DWAS. IMHO. 

Flame cutting half way through would bother me. Anything more than a sixteenth of an inch would indicate a well used gun.
