Welcome to Tom Gresham's gun talk, where there's more to talk about than shooting.

There's reloading and hunting and self-defense, too.

All right, back with you, Tom Gresham. So glad that you could be with us. Yeah, it's called Gun Talk. We're talking about guns, having some fun. If you want to join us, real easy. Call us 866-6-6-8-26-8-25-4-86, or dial 8-66-8-25-5-4-8-6, or one, Tom, Talk, guns.

Either those, any of those, will get you in here.

Preston has been on hold for quite a while in line three.

I need to get him in here before we do anything else.

Hello, Preston.

Welcome to Gun Talk.

How you doing?

Great.

I originally want to call and ask about the accessory rails for older firearms before they, you know,

they started including accessory rails on the guns.

And are there any aftermarket companies making those things for older guns?

Like I have a 659 Smith & Wesson I kind of like.

It's a stainless steel.

I'm just wondering, you know, I'd like to use the red dot, you know, and tryouts and lasers and stuff under the barrels.

Generally, a rail has to be either, you know, built-in, machined in or forged in.

I mean, it's got to be in there when the gun is designed.

I don't, now, what I'll do is I'll ask some other folks, but I don't know of anybody who's making

aftermarket rails for these guns.

So you may end up being forced to get, you know, what a terrible proposition.

You have to buy a new gun.
