Other than that, I don't see anything wrong with the "filed" one. I'd just leave it be.

I believe it works well as-is also, except that it sits low enough to scratch the frame a bit, but functionally fine.
Please see my post #11 That and it does look like its been Bubba'd quite a bit but it also appears to have been modified before it was nickel pated at the factory. It's sort of a "who done it" thing for me also :-)
This is a forty year old Smith that looks like it's not been fired mote than test-firing at the factory when it was built... Absolutely pristine!
