If the box is the same number as the gun no.
They would have been magnas.

I much prefer smooth targets like those for shooting.

Ok. Thank you. Yes, the gun and box do match. That's a bummer. Thank you.
For a collector it may or may not be a bummer.
Smooth N frame target stocks are worth quite a bit more and for me I'd be just as happy.
Enjoy Sir.....

Do NOT get rid of those grips! They are rosewood smooth presentation target grips. Very desirable, they are right under Coke grips as far as desirability. I would keep them on the gun and buy a set of N frame magna's to keep in the box. A 3 1/2 inch barrel 27 is way up there in desirability too. I would say you hit the jackpot with that situational

I think it is a fair buy. I have seen them sell for more. I think the seller is off on date of gun. More like 1975 zone. Those grips just set it off nicely, I think.

I agree. Fair and looks to be in real nice shape. Hoping the grips grow on me.....
Heck, I'll trade you some Magnas and one lightly used kidney for those stocks.
Gorgeous gun, I drooled for a while over those pics.

Lol. I know. I just couldn't resist. Always wanted one. Prefer nickels but this will only be my 2nd blued. Figured that blued model 10 needed company.

I do not shoot any N frame with Magnas on them. I have picked them up for each gun. All of my Smiths wear factory target stocks, or aftermarket target targets. I like the feel, and looks much better. Bob

You are much better of with the smooth grips, in fact they look like rosewood to me. Jeff
Very nice stocks on a very nice 27-2. Since they are so desirable how about putting a set of magnas or black washer target stocks on it? Last December I obtained a 1975-ish 27-2 3.5" wearing presentation stocks. It's now wearing a set of period correct targets.
Not too long after your 27-2 was shipped, S&W upgraded the Model 27 by adding a target hammer, target trigger, checkered target stocks made of Goncalo alves, and a mahogany presentation case. For shooting and appearance, I would leave the rosewood target stocks on the 27-2 (they are period correct for the revolver).

Target stocks always look way too big with a 3.5" barrel.
