Model 60 Chiefs Special Target
- Thread starter ohiobuckeye

That's an Ashland.
I just bought this one an hour ago at my favorite LGS--it had Hogues on it so the shop took them off to get the serial #--ALU XXXX. Carried by LEO who got it from the very same shop I bought it in--the owner special ordered a couple back in the 80's; one for himself and another for his pal.
I knew there were a couple floating around the island--I'm stoked to have snagged this one. The wear and tear on it make it a shooter for me, which is what I want. Too bad the grip pin is missing but I have a spare in my parts box.
Wow, you've dredged up a zombie thread.
Nice Ashland Chiefs Special Target. Really nice to know the history. Congrats on your find.
All the Ashland CSTs on my list shipped from late spring to fall of 1985.
I believe the currently accepted number for the Ashland order is a "not so devilish" 660.

Hey Bob, I figured why have everyone go through the trouble to repost stuff that's already there, hence the necropost/zombie thread. Missed Halloween by almost a month but I just bought it yesterday, lol.
I looked at it again today, the grip pin is missing. The grips that are on it are Hogues and the straddle doesn't go over the pin--it loops around the grip frame so the original pin is gone. No biggie, I've got an extra laying around.
Apparently there's more that a couple floating around in HI--King's Sporting Goods supposedly brought in a bunch for HPD guys (IDK how many) and Les Martin supposedly made up a few in his shop. I'm pretty sure this one's an Ashland and as for the others, they just don't turn up. This one is maybe the second one I've seen in 30 years (?).
I don't care--it's mine and I'm shooting it. If only I didn't have to wait 3 months to get the permit to acquire!

Three months?! Where do you live?
Honolulu. The system sucks to say the least.
Missing?
Has anyone seen or heard from ohiobuckeye. Bill has just disappeared!

I had one of the Ashland s.n. range guns. It had an ALU s.n. I sold it here on the forum after obtaining a 60-4, which was better for my purposes, and is one of my all-time favorite S&Ws.

Nice, I picked up a 60-1 a few years back and then bought a 60-4. I still have them both, but the -4 would probably be harder to part with.
...and I still have my no- 60 which is my EDC.

Traded a 1980's standard m-60 for the target model a few months back.Haven't shot it yet. A neat m-60 variant.
