Congrats on a like new 629 OP.

I see you updated with a problem. You state the gun was never disassembled before. I would like to point out that you have no way of confirming that and would be foolish to believe it. Never assume, because unless you bought the gun brand new at retail, you will never know how it lived prior to your ownership.
