Be Careful boys! The CST was one of the guns that certain people faked a few years ago. ohiobuckeye has found a couple in southern Ohio and I have found a couple in northern Ohio. Here are the serial number ranges for the CSTs.
1955-1957 114 guns produced in 55050-57xxx
1959 198 guns produced in 149811-150133
1966 1006 guns produced in 391811-392778
1973 Mod 50 568 C 930-J-45 = 936-J-19
1975 Mod 36-1 213 guns produced in 2-J-3124 = 2-J-3347
1989 Mod 36-6 615 guns produced in BEAxxxx
As to ohiobuckeye's question, in 1985 Ashland Shooters Supply made an order for the adjustable sighted mod 60. The run was for 666 guns with product code 102305. Most of the guns were made with an AL?xxxx serial number.

Joe, Hmmm...I wonder if this one might be home made?....
I'm beginning to think this model 60 is simply a stray s/n that's probably from the earliest of the Ashland run. Have to wait on a letter to see.
So far, I've managed to snag a 36 CST that Roy dated from the first run in 1955, a three in. CST from the 1989 batch, one of the later three in. CST's in 357, and a stamped model 50. I let one from the 1959 run slip through my fingers and still whack myself on the head for being that dumb.
