Wow that really sucks. The gunsmith ordered the part yesterday so I guess I should give him a call and let him know what you so kindly brought to my attention. I wonder if the S&W factory has any of the old ones? But probably not I'm assuming. Thanks again :(

Can you please elaborate? I thought a threaded rod was just simply that. So your saying it will look different? What about functionality?

We may have some block head politicians up here but that doesn't make us ALL scumbags ;)

This thread just screams GOD BLESS AMERICA. Greeting from NY my southern brothers.

I guess I was on the fence because it was my grandfathers and he carried it for much of his life so I wanted to keep it as natural as possible. AND Larry Potterfield from Midway USA has a video which shows him fixing a bent ejector rod but honestly that guy makes EVERYTHING look so easy. Just...

After doing some reading I have come to the conclusion that this is probably one of the last guns to leave factory without a model number. Am I right?

My 2 cents: the way I understand it in my state is they must both be locked separately, not including glove box or center console. If you could find a small cheap lockbox to carry loaded mags you would be good here in the north east.

Guess this is in the wrong thread category too. Can't figure out how to move it. I will try to post pics too.

Thanks DA. That would make sense because I think that's around the time he went on the job.

Hello All, This is my first post and first S&W. It was my grandpas off duty/back-up weapon(NYPD). It is a .38 Chiefs Special (Mod 36) serial # 121XXX. I was wondering if anyone could pin point year of production and any other information would be greatly appreciated. He carried it up till...
