Hey Guys,
I know I sound like another one of those annoying schmucks who is completely clueless..and you'd be right.
I've had my grand father's S&W MODEL 36 for years now.
Can one of you throw out the mnf/production year for it?
*SERIAL ON BUTT: AAR75##
*Inside swing-out cylinder (..or yoke) reads: MOD 36
6 8 X 4 9
F26 (?)
AARxxx per s/n range in Standard Catalog SW late 1982. Which is also same time the J prefix was used. Sounds like a transition s/n from J to 3 letters..A gun this new may be worth a call to SW Customer service. They can give you exact date If its in their data base (e- data base) i would give it a try.
