Hi Ken I know this is the wrong way to go about asking a question on the forum but I can't figure out how to post here, I have done it before but do not remember how I did it.
anyway I see you helped someone else with a DOB Question on his model 17-3 so I thought maybe you could also help me.
I have a model 17-3 / K-22 SER. # 1K481XX And was wondering what production date that would be, from what I could find I am thinking around 68-69 ?, it has the T sights T trigger and Magna style target grips KT-WAL LH#5210 AND KT-WAL RH #5214 WHICH are listed in the 1960 parts manual as the correct grips, funny thing is only the LH one is the diamond grip and the RH side isn't
