It's How Things Work

Mr Willard is the generous benefactor who got me the center diamond style magna stocks for my Model 15.

After, of course, I'd put in a bid on some correct-for-the-gun-but-not-for-the-period no diamond stocks on ebay.

If he had not given me the diamond grips, I would have been outbid and had to keep dealing with the too-narrow, too-square "Smith & Wesson Factory Grips S&W K, L-Frame Square Butt Checkered Dymondwood" I got from Midway.

Since he did, I won the auction and will have a set of no-diamond stocks for a K frame without a K frame to put them on.

THIS IS DANGEROUS!  A Model 19 is a K frame...  I don't have a service size .357...

WHY GODS WHY!?!

    Are no diamond grips period correct for a Model 10-7? My grips are trashed so I might be able to help. Also considering the finish on my reimported police trade in Altamont grips would be chrome rims on a hooptie

      The SEALs in Vietnam tried to get Model 19's but ended up with Model 15-2's. Those have diamond center grips.

      My gun is a 15-3 and didn't come with diamond center grips.

      Changing to the diamond style makes it retro and period for the SEAL motif.

      I've got a set of non-diamonds coming, are you offering to buy them?
