I tried my 4" 629-0 in a presentation case that came with my 4" 29-2. It didn't fit. As you can see from the picture, my 629 turned out to be a bit longer than the 29, measuring about 1/8" longer. It's not much but enough that it wouldn't properly fit in the case. I would not have guessed that the two models were different barrel lengths. Anyone else experience this? The Standard Catalog doesn't seem to have any information for a 4 1/8" barrel model 629-0.
Would there have been a special size presentation case for the 629, or was this just a fluke, caused by whoever was cutting barrels that day?
