Thanks, Muley! I'm really torn about whether I should pursue this project. I have a hankering for shorter barrel N-frames that started long ago when I found a perfect 27-2 with a 3 1/2 inch BBL. I was astounded by the prices at the last gun show I went to, pleased that my stuff has gone up but discouraged that it woudl cost so much to get a 28 for my project gun. Then I ran across this triple Lock. I've been looking at forums and doing research about triple locks. I figure if I can first get it back into good working ordered i would worry about cosmetics later. I have a good relationship with this shop so I can get more photos and look at it in detail. I posted a photo on another thread, "new guy with a oldie" or something close. Is there a source for Triple Lock parts? The BBL is cut off to 3 5/8 inches. I was thinking about changing the frame to round butt profile. (I know, heresy in some circles.) And adjusable sights! Advice?
