Here is one of the first magnum 60-9's
Feeling kind of snubby today
- Thread starter A10
- Start date
Cobbled this up the other day using a new comp barrel I found on GB for $65 and a new factory spurless hammer I had in the bin.
Stuck a Big Dot on as a placeholder...
Locking bolt pin salvaged from the original barrel was obviously too short. I've since made a new pin to fit the underlug with nicely domed ends.
Cheers

Quite a coincidence we both have guns that came off the line so closely, we have bdays very close & we're both going to be 75, days apart. I think we had this conversation before. My snub serial # is C1241XX. Happy birthday in advance. Mine's 9/10.

Thanks. The 10-7 Peru (1984) contract never shipped. Peru reorganized their LE agencies and cancelled the contract. S&W made them available to dealers ones in US.
3 hundred-ish apart. Maybe we did discuss this, but at our ages, do we know?
If yours lettered to early September, then it came out of the warehouse after mine, even though numbered 300 less.
Always an example of the rule that S&W never shipped in serial order or actual date of build.
Mine's 9/14, so I shipped four days after you...

Those stocks are only mounted for illustration of scale... to shoot one with them on the gun would be brutal. They shippe with a Hogue monogrip as I recall....Impressive indeed...Am I right in thinking they are both dressed in K-frame PC Magnas?......
I got a couple ! 19-4 & 15-3

My most recent is this Taurus 856. Haven't got to shoot it yet but it checks out good. I wonder if the 50% tariff on Brazilian stuff includes firearms?

Got my 10-5 snubbie yesterday! Not too bad for the price. Man the DA is so smooth and pretty light. My wife had no problem cycling it with one finger.
Target: 7 yards DA

Vintage S&Ws are very hard to find around here. You scored nicely!
