Need help. I am considering buying this.

Looking for original stocks for it. Thanks.

Most likely, N frame Magna or service stocks with the uncheckered diamond around the stock screw, like the ones in this photo:

Highly unlikely it had Target stocks from the factory. Have you had the chance to shoot it yet?

Something I just have to mention because I'm involved in the same situation currently. Quite often these great deals aren't really all that great. When somebody that has cared for a firearm for many years makes the decision that it's time for a good friend or relative to be entrusted with the future care of their prized possession it can be a sad time for both parties. The realization that you may never shoot again and that your prized weapon would be better off in somebody else's hand is a tough thing to face. I'm now on the receiving end of one of those deals and it's really not a happy time. Sorry to be such a downer but this just hit really close to home.

Wow never really thought of that but so true Take good care of that beauty cause someone else sure did)

If You don't like the Herrett's I would be willing to buy them, personally I like the looks of the Herrett's and I understand the feel to be equally good, very pricey new in the shooting stars design. A nice pair of the correct grips might set you back in excess of $100 minimum on Ebad, I was just checking their availability and their are plenty to choose from. Good Luck

Don't fret anymore. I'll buy whatever it is you're dealing with and you can go on and relax.

A couple of years back I came across a gentleman that had a large collection of handguns and failing health. I bought several guns I enjoy owning and shooting them and I sleep just fine.

Thank you for the info and I will keep your offer in mind.
