FRT number on a Smith M60 5"?

[Ardent]

Need an FRT # for a S&W Model 60 5" .357, anyone? Thanks for the help!

What is the dash #?

Mod 60 - 1 etc?

Not sure to be honest... Very recent production, exact same model as listed in the following article:

To be quite honest, the FRT # will be useless with out the correct model.

Hmm I'm stumped. The only thing I find it listed as, including from S&W, is Model 60 5" special production run, with no sub model number :?

I have re-looked at the article, and it's dated the 5th Feb, 05. The discs were issued at the begining of 05.

In that case, and if some have been imported into Canada, it would probably be on the version of FRT that the CFC has, but not out to verifiers yet. If you call the 1-800 #, they should be able to look it up on thier system. They have for me in the past...

Will do, thanks guys.

OK finally got the model number, it's 60-18.

 

[RePete]

I'm just a little more than curious, why do you need the FRT #?

RePete.

 

[Ardent]

I imported it, and Joseph and I at Dlask couldn't figure out the model, so I was left with his verifier number and no FRT #, I need to find the # to register online.

 

[RePete]

Thanks.

Got to harass them some more, so far nothing.

Anyone able to help me with this? The CFC is doing what they do best, confusion and misdirection.

This gun is Model that is new enough that it is not yet listed on the current FRT data base that verifiers have. The current Mod 60's in .357 that are listed all have prohib. barrel lengths. I think your best bet is to talk with the Firearm Technicians at 1-800-731-4000 ext. 1094 or 1095. Give them a full discription of the firearm as described by S&W, including the length of the barrel in mm. If you have a S&W spec. sheet you may be able to fax. it to them also. Even digital pictures of the gun sent to them, will help. The more info the better. I would not be surprised if they have it already listed in their database. Hopfully the next version of the FRT disc sent out will have this gun listed. Good Luck.

That would explain my issues to date, nobody has seen or heard of this gun yet. Whenever people hear "model 60" they all go into prohib alarm mode, but I specifically sought this model out and imported it as it is a non prohib model 60. Thanks
