Excluding rear and front sight assemblies, and grip set assembly, please identify parts in S&W Model 60 3-inch that are not manufactured of stainless steel. If there is any sort of differentiation based on "60-xx" variation, please identify those altered/adjusted parts — before that alteration, and after it.

With the very earliest (1965-'66 production) model 60s, every metal part was stainless steel by report. Soon after this, flash chromed carbon steel hammers and triggers were introduced, then eventually these went to MIM.

So, it depends on which 3" model 60.
