An additional question on those Magna-style stocks - are they possibly marked “AJE” inside?
I ask only because I recently owned a set that looked at lot like those and didn’t know the marking - can provide some background to you if needed or wanted but also don’t want to bore you or other viewers with that level of trivia haha…

Heck, I'll bore anybody. AJE = Art Jewel Enterprises which became Eagle grips. Just got a set of AJE N-frame Round butt target stocks on a gun I just bought, Not correct for that gun so they go in my "grip drawer".
Adios,

^^ LOL - yes, indeed, Art Jewel! A set of AJE checkered Magnas arrived with a Model 27 I’d bought some time back and I had to do a little digging to find out what the heck they were.
They were nice but a bit thicker than factory Magnas; I wound up selling them haha…

I will go back and check but I thought these were Altamonts. I check and get back to you.

Looks great! I love those grips on it too.
28's seem to be growing on trees around here lately.

There's a 28-2 with a 6 inch barrel at the Bass Pro Shop near me that would be sitting next to me right now if I did not just have a massive car repair bill due Monday.

That's a beautiful gun. I'd have to enjoy owning it but not even turn it to keep it line free. If it isn't the best looking example in existence it's awfully close. Congratulations on a MAJOR score.

Thanks!
I've taken it to the range twice and put about 50 rounds or so through it. Still no line showing and range use will be pretty sparse going forward.
