Hey found this drifting on the interwebz and it confused me. The body and everything about it tells me that its a 68-Special, but then there's a picture of the serial and that says it is a SMG 60.

i got the idea to look for the SMG 60 because of that video, but after i found this i decided there must have been something up with either somebody switching the serials or something but maybe this is just a a very rare mix up. is there a way to look up the serial number and check the date or find out more? ------------- "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubblegum." |

Its a SMG 60 trigger frame on a 68 Special. I believe someone on these forums has a similar setup. -------------

early 68 specials were converted from smg 60s and 68s... you could send the gun in and have it converted for a fee just like the 98s to 98c specs...
edit: this gun was originally an SMG 60 but had the front half of the reciever swapped out to take a hopper and a .68cal barrel. increased the use on the field but now 20 years later killed the resale value... ------------- saving the world, one warship at a time. |

yeah you guys are right, you can see clearly where the metal changes tone. interesting though, i think its still pretty cool.... ------------- "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubblegum." |
