Just nabbed this at the gun show today. 625-3 model of 1989. I have a 629 that looks like this too but it has the infernal lock and transfer bar.

So this just arrived at the FFL from Frank Glenn. Haven't got to shoot it yet, but seeing that it weighs just shy of 90 pounds, I'm sure it'll be a soft shooter.
That came out great and I think you will be glad you went the route you did on caliber in the end.
Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.
"If I had a grandpa, he would look like Delbert Belton".
I think so too. Thanks for the suggestion. Frank cut that front sight blank just right too.
I've heard Miculek mention that he likes the standard narrow serrated trigger for his guns as well. To each his own, I suppose. I don't have enough experience to have a solid opinion
Transfer bar?
I don't think any Smiths have transfer bars.
I've been thinking on this. It obviously bothers many people, but never has me, even when a kid. I have seen some edges that were sharp, I stone them off at the edges, both sides and front if theres any hint of sharpness. The grooves have never bothered me in the least, I like them. I occured to me that I started shooting bows a LOT about when I started shooting much, and I mostly shot bows bare handed (no tab or glove) a couple hours a day for quite a while. I also do carpentry and construction work, my hands may be tougher than average. The whole smooth trigger thing seems fairly new (geologically speaking). I dont recall any of the old timers like Keith, McGivern, Jordan, or others having the grooves polished off. I wonder if its that fewer people do hard hands on work in recent times?
