Thanks for the info. Brian. It's what I needed. I will also be checking for original chamber length as well. It's kinda rough looking, but I'm buying it as a shooter, not a safe queen. If I can't shoot it, it goes back. The dent doesn't bother me as it is almost at the end of the bbls where there is almost no pressure left to do any harm. It's an easy fix. According to the sellers description it is as it left the factory according to the ID & Serialization book. Seller says it's also a 1 frame, so maybe it won't weigh 8lbs.
