Still don't know what to call it. kind of a cross between a model 520.
and a model 28, thus the 'model 528' moniker.
This model 28-2 has undergone the following changes;
Rear sight removed.
Barrel cut from 4" to 3.5" with front sight cut off.
deep crown.
Round butt frame to N-round.
Bobbed hammer installed.
Complete action job.
The pictures show the grips I used as a pattern for the round butt
conversion. And the subsequent fit of the LG-206 Lasergrips.
All work was done by myself. Using a bench grinder,file,sanding pads,
and cold blue.
Initial cost of the gun was $217. ,with no more $ invested,
other than the $100. spent on the lasergrips at a local show.
They were not working at the time, and I repaired a battery
contact to repair them.
The serial number remains completely intact on the butt of the gun.
The sight picture.Enhanced by a bit of white-out.
We took it to the range this afternoon, BubbaBlades and I.
And shot it with a great array of 38 and 357 ammunition.
As expected it shot 2" low at 7 yards ,and about 4" low at 15 yards,
using the iron sights. So the front sight 'blade'will have to be
machined down a bit more.
But ,,using the laser grips ,we had a great time ,with absolutely
zero malfunctions ,and stunning accuracy from such an órphan'.
Firat target ,6 rounds ,then laser adjusted, and another 6 rounds.
The afternoons aggregate target, about 150 rounds of various loads,
at 3 ,7 ,and 15 yards.
Lots of shooting fun!
