Model 60 (no dash)

[xsentinel]

Just got a model 60 (no dash) serial R108xxx. Never fired but kept in a leather holster for years so little pitting near the yoke. Really sad because, other than that, this thing is in great shape.

1. Nearest I can guess this was made 1974 to 1977. Can anyone get me closer than that?

2. So because of the pitting I am probably going to shoot this and have fun with it but I hate the thin serrated trigger. Can I get a wide smooth trigger for this?

I believe 1974 would be a good guess.

I don't know about the parts swap, but I'd guess a smooth trigger from the '80s would work.

Where can I buy a trigger? Does S&W sell them to the public? I don't see them on their website as available. I do see some on Numrich but I'm not sure which is the correct one for me.

Place a "Want To Buy" thread here in the forum classifieds.
I believe they call the stainless steel revolver triggers and hammers flashed chrome. And it is a J frame.

Looks good. Thank you

OK, so one last question. That trigger is "stripped" so, I'm guessing, it does not have that little post thing (lever?). How difficult is it to add that lever?

I found out a little info that I thought might help others in a similar situation. First a "stripped" trigger does have the rebound lever. It does not have the hand spring pin or the hand spring.
How to do this is still a mystery to me so I am going to post about it in the gunsmithing forum here and see if I can find out further.
