The one-gun-a-month rule is neat!
I just got a K-frame 38spl, with the following markings.
S/N on the butt is V followed by a lanyard swivel ring, followed by 655386. There is the Smith and Wesson Springfield Mass on TOP of the barrel (4 inch, thumbnail sight), and is marked 38 S&W Special ctg on the side of the bbl. It has a humpback, checkered hammer, and the 5-screw config. It has a matte blue finish, kinda reminds me of the Remington Express blue. I'm a little suspicious that it has been reblued, but I'm not sure. It has NONE of the British proof marks associated with the "Victory" models.
The stocks are a very poor fit, and are not the original, per the seller.
What can anyone tell me about this one? What are the proper stocks for this revo?
BTW, what's the best referrence book on these things that is commonly available? How do I get one?
