It also does not have any 'Mountain Gun' laser engraved on the barrel either. And the front sight is pinned in and not like standard 4 inch sight that is part of the barrel.

So was this a regular production item?

IMHO, that is NOT a factory revolver. It's a clone assembled with a parts bin barrel and cylinder. Buy it if you like it, but be aware that it's not the real deal.
