[QUOTE="RickN, post: 3867514, member: 8854"] I found this online. [I]Colt dumped many parts on the market in the 50's,and some new .357 cylinders and bbls. were installed on older New Services. ANY serial number below somewhere in the 335,000 range did NOT start out as a .357 New Service(I can't give you the exact range,as my books are not here where I type this,from memory).2)Numrich Arms,now Gun Parts Company,made up a bunch of .357 New Service barrels/cylinders,to convert older New Services. Some of the bbls. were as long as 8". They have a ramp front sight,and of course NO Colt markings.3)I mentioned the round butt earlier,but some .357 New Services,were ordered with the square butt,and even some with lanyard rings,especially for police depts.[/I] [/QUOTE]
