Description
Smith & Wesson K-Frame Magna Stocks
These Smith & Wesson K-Frame Magna Stocks are factory square-butt walnut revolver grips with non-diamond checkering, standard S&W medallions, black-oxide interior stock circles, and the included grip screw. The interior number appears to be 20904, which likely corresponds to a D-prefix K-frame revolver and supports a likely 1968 production date.
Smith & Wesson K-Frame Square Butt Magna Stocks
These are standard factory Magna / service-style stocks for Smith & Wesson K-frame square-butt revolvers. They are not the larger Target stock pattern. The non-diamond checkering and black interior stock circles place them in the late-1960s to early-1970s production window, with the numbered interior making 1968 the most likely date.
Construction / Configuration / Pattern
The stocks are walnut with factory checkered panels, smooth borders, silver-tone Smith & Wesson medallions, brass grip-screw escutcheons, and black-oxide internal stock circles. The grip screw is included.
The panels have the later non-diamond Magna pattern, introduced after Smith & Wesson eliminated the smooth diamond around the grip-screw escutcheon on standard Magna stocks. The interior number appears to be 20904. Since S&W commonly numbered stocks without stamping the letter prefix, this likely corresponds to a D20904 revolver serial number, which fits 1968 production.
Historical Context / Pattern Development
Smith & Wesson Magna stocks were the standard factory service-style grip on many K-frame revolvers. The Magna profile gave more upper rear grip coverage than earlier service stocks while keeping a slimmer profile than Target stocks.
This pair falls into the post-diamond Magna period. The combination of non-diamond checkering, black-oxide stock circles, and the likely D-series numbered interior makes these a strong late-1960s K-frame grip set, most likely from 1968.
Condition
Good vintage condition. The walnut retains attractive color with visible handling wear, light finish wear, small scratches, and age-related marks. The checkering remains clearly defined with some light smoothing from use. The S&W medallions, black interior stock circles, escutcheons, and grip screw are present. The interior number 20904 remains visible.
Listing Disclaimer
Buyer is responsible for verifying fit with their specific Smith & Wesson K-frame square-butt revolver. The 1968 attribution is based on the apparent interior number and correct no-diamond / black-circle construction features.
