Hi guys!
Hoping someone might have a closer frame of ref on this one one - a 581 s/n AAA389x - should be '80, but am I correct to assume the low four-digit is also early in the year?
Along with another, far more uncommon piece, this was a find at a surprisingly decent local gun show recently. It's no safe queen and the stocks are not numbered to the gun but fit well, and there is very light fading to the bluing in some areas. The price however was hard to beat, being less than most Model 10s I've seen lately. Mechanically it's as solid as my beloved 6" 586 and the service grips actually make the 4" full lug revolver surprisingly svelte IMO.
Not one I had been looking for, let alone expecting, but pretty happy to have one of these added - I'll soon have a much more extensive post on my prize find of the weekend - a Model 520.
Any info on the date this might've shipped is appreciated. *Oh, this one has not had the firing pin recall/switch - given I only plan to occasionally shoot .38s and the earliness of this example, I currently don't plan to send it in.
