NIB 15-3

Looks like the 15-2 I bought last February. Box, Docs, and tools. But it was sluggish so I had to pop the side plate. Congealed goop in there. Probably oil squirted in there and left to sit. Cleaned up very nicely, though. I still haven’t shot it. Don’t know if I will. It’s so perfect it will never look this good again. I have other revolvers I can bang around with. Maybe later on I’ll break down and shoot it.
 
15-3

1977 manufacture. Tapped the side plate off; no dirt, nothing but a little bit of old oil. Cleaned it; oiled it. Action is now super smooth. Same with the yoke. No sign of firing. Oiled it; nice and smooth now. Quite happy.
 
Ya really can't pass that one up. I bought a pre-owned 15-3 off a Forum member this past year. It's still shiny, but not as shiny as yours! It's a shooter, and very accurate. For .38 Special, you really can't beat the Model 10s & 15s, for the money.
 
I'm not one for a straight. 38 model... I like the option of both, but that being said, I think this is one beautiful gun I would make an exception for this, beautiful!
 
Stunning! The blueing is truly exceptional.

I’d like to have an example that I would feel comfortable opening up and learning the internals with. I have a pristine .38 RP that I’m certain (at 102 years old!) needs fresh lubrication.

Is there a thread on this procedure I haven’t yet found?
 
Very beautiful example!!! The M15 is one of S&W's best efforts. Personally I have 4, and that is not enough.

It appears that yours has a Target Hammer and Trigger, but no target stocks.

Do you have the label from the end of the box that you could post a picture of?
 
15-3

Yes, I will post a pic of the box with label. The service stocks do number to the gun.
