Fit of M 629 no-dash N-frame square-butt grips

[Muzzlefire]

Question on M 629 no-dash original grips: Is it possible to order those N-frame Goncalo alves square-butt grips as original replacement part and will they perfectly fit to any 629 no-dash, or were they hand-fitted in the factory?

The Goncalo alves you need for your Model 629 have not been available from S&W for many years. Most target stocks you find will fit any N-frame (some fit better on a particular gun than others), but I don't think any were actually hand fitted. Many orginal stocks from this time period do not fit "perfectly". The best place to find a "period correct" pair of stocks is on this forum or on ebay.
