Not sure on the S&W but you can get frame parts for Rugers, so I'd imagine you could. I love revolvers but I dont own a Smith at this time.
I would ask the guys at thefiringline.com, there is a revolver section and there are some very knowledgable guys there.
Hmm... wouldn't replacing the frame make it a new firearm (new serial)?
That looks great! I was trying to figure out from the first picture what all was damaged, but wasn't sure. Either it's a little blurry or my eyes are getting worse.
In the first pic the only damage you can see is the trigger guard being blown apart. It also has a damaged trigger, main spring, and cover plate... But you cannot tell from the picture.
Gotcha, nice job! So what's the story behind it getting blown apart?
