This M&P 1905, First change is my oldest gun. The quality of parts fitting and wood to frame fit is the best of all my guns. I'm guessing it's around l907-08.

The latest information on you 45848, as posted in the S&WCA files, is that
it had magnas, but was shipped with small stocks with grip adapters.

Did you replace the magnas with those stocks ? What about the adapters ?
