I found these grips

[Ted Neff]

Going through a holster/grip plastic bin I have. I found these grips Possibly off a 586 I sold but am not sure. Is there a way to tell from the stamps on the back side. Thanks Ted

Those are for an N frame and made of Goncalo. No diamond around the screw but with black stock circle inserts so around 68-71.

 

[Ted Neff]

Ok thank you. Don't remember where I got them.

Even being on the "chewy" side of condition ... $100

Thanks Mtman. I owned a older 27 for a while before I traded it away. I think it was a 5". Could they have shipped on that?

I disagree. I think those are for a K/L-frame square butt. The indicator is the amount of wood at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions around the washer. N-frame it is equal side-to-side. K/L-frame one side is wider - like these.

Adios,

Pizza Bob

NT-430 indicates N-frame. The stocks are made of Goncalo alves and date from 1969-1974. 5912/5913 are part numbers for the right and left stock of a Model 29 or Model 57.

This only works for Magna stocks, not targets. On N Magnas the two ledges are the same width. On K Magnas the rear ledge is about 1/2 as wide as the front one.

If you look closely they are stamped NT430. That is the factory designation of the N-Target frame used for various magnums. They could have come from OP's Model 27 or variations of the Models 29 and 57 as Doc44 said just above. While they are S&W factory stocks they probably had been purchased as after-market replacements. Factory installed target stocks usually do not have the NT430 or part numbers stamped on them, although they might.

NT430 leaves No question that this is an N frame Target grip, besides the football cut out pre-dates the introduction of the 586/686 series of L frame guns. The early L framed guns came with the speedloader cut in the Left grip.

 

[Pizza Bob]

I stand corrected. Sorry.

If the outward ledge looks bigger than the pounded down post of the medallion (rivot), it likely is an N.
