Thank you all so far for the compliments and support. I guess I did muddy the water by putting a single sentence in about model 14's. My thought pattern is trying to make the trifecta. I have a model 14 no dash and 2 model 14-3's (6inch and 8 inch)and 1 model 14-7 with the full underlug. The closest gun to match and make a trifecta is the 1959 model 14 no dash but it has the heavy barrel so it really does not match up as far as weight to a 1949 narrow rib K22. I have couple pre war 38's with 6 inch barrel but no rib on them. So I guess it will be back to the drawing board for a pre model 14 narrow rib to make 2 out of 3 for a trifecta. Not much hope for a model 16 so I really should quit thinking in those terms. Lol I can not wait to get it and shoot it, I am sure it will not disappoint.
