Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Thanks guys! It's certainly a rough looking head. Here it is after the first round of vinegar
Here it is after carefully removing the paint.
It's got plenty of pitting, but the business ends have lots of life left to give. It looks even better after the second round of vinegar.
Does the Busch beer help with paint removal? I'll have to give it a try.......
It's a cleaning aid and great to prop up for the photo.
This is a many beer job for sure
LOL, always makes me think of this.Originally Posted by waffles

Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."

Picked this up today ... holy crap the seller is a shit photographer, the damn thing is in near perfect condition! So I'm quite pleased (if I get a chance to shoot new pics I'll post them).Just won this on Gunbroker.

should be here in a few days
Figure since I'll have to find a new job, I might be forced into pocket carry and I don't have anything small enough for that.
Now I need to pick up a Tyler T-Grip, Desantis Nemesis and a few boxes of .38 (at least one box of Federal HST 130gr +p ... won't put a steady diet through it but will carry with the hot stuff).
Anyone on here have a copy of "Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson"? Kind of curious what year mine is from. SN on the heel is 417J41 but there's a different number on the crane (59227 with either G5 or 65 underneath it . The one scratch on the gun goes right through the G or 6. Oh and its a Model 38, no dash ... so I wonder if its had the crane replaced?)

Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

Are you sure on that serial number from the bottom of the grip frame? I have the 4th edition of SCSW, nothing matches and I’ve never seen a letter in the middle of a J frame serial number. The crane number is an assembly number, nothing more. The no dash ran from ‘57 ( when Smith started numbering guns) until 1988 when the -1 came out. The barrel pin was eliminated in 1982.
The “J” letter prefix on the serial number started in 1969. If BG has better info I defer to him.
