Herre are some pictures of my 1968 Highway Patrolman model 28-2 with the sideplate off. I always hear about how a Smith could be full of crud and folks take off the sideplate to clean all the gunk out. I have had the sideplate off many of my old, and new Smiths and have yet to find any gunk. This is after about 2000 rounds of my lead reloads and of course the 44 years of whatever the previous owner shot before that (probably not much). I had it open because the locking bolt was not poping up in SA. It turned out a small bevel on the right side of the bolt edge was needed to fix the issue.
Anyway the inside was clean as a whistle:
