|
 |

|
 |
In addition, I am working on two Southern High-hoods, one GP38 and one SD40-2.
2773 and 3242 are likely numbers, as I have many photos of each.
Above is the old model page. Below is the new model page. Soon, the above will be replaced with what is below.
Currently, the parts listed below are from memory.
