I acquired a pre model 14 about two weeks ago and have since traded it for something else. It had an 8 3/8 bbl. and a target trigger and it had been refinished several years ago. I didn't feel good about the gun and I'm glad to be rid of it! There is a reason it was at the LGS for about two years. Also, according to the serial # on the frame it dated to 1949.
