Independence Day Celebration
Hi guys! For the first time in my 63 years I celebrated Independence Day and our Second Amendment freedom by purchasing a 14-3 Masterpiece with 8 3/8' pinned barrel, target hammer, target stocks, target trigger & what I guess is a target front sight. It is 98-99%. I need to know the shipping date. SN is 5K55248. Thank all of you in advance.
Mike

Did you buy a truck to haul around that 8 3/8 foot barrel?

1973.
5K serial numbers in 1973 ran from 5K6617 to 5K73962.
That's manufacture. Shipping could have been later, but 1973 would be a good guess.

If it looks like the one shown in the picture below, it is. These are called the Patridge sight (not "pa rtridge") and they were standard on the K-38 Masterpiece for many years, including the Model 14-3.
And just for fun:
