I bought this old model 15 in the late 1980s. Paid $125 for it with box and police holster.
It was a police turn-in through a local FFL. 4 digit serial number. pork chop barrel.
Came with original box and papers and an extra 4 inch barrel. It started spitting, so I took it to over to Monson on my lunch break and they replaced all the internals, fitted a new hand, test fired and brought it back to me. I was waiting in the lobby and reading gun magazines for about 20 minutes. It was an old schoolhouse; funny that now you can't have guns in schools. I still have the original parts. The smith was a really good guy.
Learned to reload and shot the heck out of this old revolver over the years. Still shoots great.

Twenty minutes!!! Things sure were different back then. Workers tried to do as much as they could instead of as little.

I live close enough to Monson that I have driven past the "schoolhouse" location a few times, as well as the old Palmer site.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Great story. Thanks for sharing, especially the photo.
You'll have to share with us how you resisted DWAS all these years. Some of us really need to know.
