I have a restauration object, .38 S&W D.A. Third Model, but the barrel is full of awfull dents and rust and groves worn out.
I have the opportunity to buy a cheap .38 S&W S.A. Second Model with mint barrel. This gun is produced just 7 years prior to the D.A. Will the S.A. barrel fit my D.A. ?
And will cylinders be interchangable? And grip-plates?
I guess even in those days of manufacturing, they used many of the same parts for different models....
