Could I get a date for this old shooter Thanks

ser# 244xx.. Been a vary long time posting for me. This is mstill a fine shooter. Any one ever scope an I frame?

That's a Pre-Model 35 from about 1956 or 1957. Nice gun!

I don't know about scoping I-frames, but I guess anything is possible. It's really a matter of whether the small frame could support a scope mount reliably.

Why ever would you want to scope it? Heaven forbid putting drill holes in such a beautiful piece of S&W craftsmanship. My lovely wife and I just spent this afternoon at the range riddling tin cans with her 22/32 (ca 1956, the same age she is) without any help from a scope.

Looks like you've got the pics down pretty good. Fine looking
firearm! TACC1

please don't even try putting a scope on that wonderful
little revolver. pre model 35's and model 35's are not the
easiest firearms to locate. you have a gem there and if
you want a scope on a 22lr find a model 17 or a 617.

That's a beauty! It's a Model of 1953 .22/32 Target which became the Model 35 in c. 1957; the last version of the I frame and became a J frame in 1961 as the Model 35-1.

Yes, a scoped Model 34. Never could understand it though.

I dont plan on drilling it..

I have a k22 that has the clamp on style scope base. I hunt with it. just wondering if anything like it was made for the I frame. Some shots in big trees can be 70/100 feet. Tough to shoot a squirrel in the eye at that range.. Dont want to wast meat with a body shot, and its to easy.
I also use a high standard military tournament, and winchester 52, I like nice 22s..

Please don't try to scope that!

I picked up a 98% pre 34 just the other day at the Reno Show. Four inch gun, blued, SQ butt, serial #191 !! the 90th of that run.

Pics when we get home on Friday.

Bravo, what a great find! Can't wait for the pics. Do you feel that you paid a premium for the SB over a RB in like condition and serial number?

Neat little gun, I picked up a pre-35 a couple of months ago. It shoots better than I was expecting. Enjoy.
