Very nice looking S&W 79G David, I noticed the seal kit didn't have the aftermarket poppet included, I had to replace both poppets on both of mine. I wish thatthere were vendor's offering the after market poppet without buying the other seals, o rings are very inexpensive by themselves but when you buy a kit that includesthe poppet it's probably over $30 now, a lot of them goofs on ebay charge you that much just for the o ring kits.
Very nice! I think you will enjoy it, I have two 78Gs and they are fun to play with. Happy early B-day!!
But in part 4 it is stated as 1970- 1978.I have not found a source for that date range.Tom has been wrong in the past, with conflicting information and no source for either I'm not sure which to believe if either.

I got one of those at an antique store a few years ago. I replaced the seals, it was different from anything I had worked on before.
Congrats David!I thought accuracy was their "claim to fame"?Keep us posted on your findings.
