"Would that late of a gun not have been originally shipped with the Black Magic finish and smooth stocks? Did C&H refinish them and do the stocks number to the gun?"
There is a "poor" attempt at removing a sandblasted type of finish on the gun. Some evidence remains ex: where the barrel meets the frame. Also notice the wear on the S&W logo rigth side...amd the pitting along the top-strap.
There does not appear to be any sleeves installed in the chambers.
I'm waiting for more information on the C&H Conversions and will let you know more when received...
Thanks for the questions...
