His is a model 64 from the 80s.Be aware that the earlier model S&W revolvers had a right hand thread on the ejector rod.

This is correct. PLEASE DON'T use loctite on the extractor rod....It's not unusual for the pin on the back of the ejector locking lug to stick out some. That's longer than you usually see on a J frame, but if it works then I wouldn't worry about it.
The numbers in your second picture are assembly numbers - not the serial number. Assembly numbers like this appear on the yoke , underside of the sideplate, and sometimes a few other locations. They are used to keep the pieces together during the assembly process. The actual serial number is on the bottom of the grip. On most modern S&W revolvers it also appears above the model number in the frame's yoke cutout.
EDIT:
I just noticed that it's a K frame 64-2, not a J frame 642. Sorry about that. I still wouldn't worry about it. I have several k frames with the pin protruding in that manner.
Well darn! I was thinking about Vice Grips and a torch! Lol…….. NOT really.So, you’re telling me that channel locks are not the tool for the job? Shucks
I wanted yours. Just didn’t have the bucks at the time. My neighbor had this one. Said he never could get used to it and just wanted rid of it! Cha-Ching.he did really good. I sold mine to a guy for $580. Lost money on it but oh well.
That serial number is in the 1978 to 1979 year range.The serial number is 1D40xxx does that date to the 80s???
Thank you sirThat serial number is in the 1978 to 1979 year range.
