I just bought a .38 15-4 with serial #20K7xxx. It is real nice and appears almost like new. It has the (from above) square butt Magna stocks, but they don't match the quality of the gun. So, they may have switched when the previous owner had it.

If I ask some really elementary questions, please bear with me.


Hello 2far2late
Welcome to the forum ! A Four screw frame means that the revolver has Three side plate screws{One under the right grip panel} and one in front of the trigger guard making it a Four screw example. A Five screw model has Four side plate screws {One Under thr right grip panel} and one in front of the trigger guard making it a Five screw model. Don't be afraid to Ask questions we all like to teach & learn from each other here on the forum. Regards, Hammerdown
