Just took in a S&W Model 34 kit gun - trying to figure out if it's C&R eligible or not. Serial number 838xx; This is one of those guns that makes me want to just keep it myself!

Close as I can figure out it was made between 53 (when they started making this gun) and '69, when they put an M prefix on the serial number. But that means it might or might NOT be C&R eligible.

Can anyone help me on this?

[QUOTE="dwarven1, post: 4462315, member: 81"] Just took in a S&W Model 34 kit gun - trying to figure out if it's C&R eligible or not. Serial number 838xx; This is one of those guns that makes me want to just keep it myself! Close as I can figure out it was made between 53 (when they started making this gun) and '69, when they put an M prefix on the serial number. But that means it might or might NOT be C&R eligible.
