Gotta Love the 657s

Here is product code 170062. 500 were produced. The barrel is roll marked Magnum Hunter. I have not seen a revolver roll marked Light Magnum, but this same configuration is also known as the Lite Hunter in other calibers. As you have noted this was an RSR Distributor Exclusive offering.


Here is product code 103948. The is the 657 Classic Hunter II. 500 were produced, all on round butt frames. The grips are Altamonte.


Here is product code 103820. This was known as the Classic Hunter. 2000 of this variation were made over several years. These were made on both the square butt frame (1st pic) and the round butt frame (2nd pic). It is unknown where the split occurred both examples bear the same product code.



I do not own an example of 103959. Based on my notes and the SCSW It does appear to be an additional run similar to 103820. Probably for a different distributor.

Your revolver was manufactured on Friday, February 26th 1999.
