Once you understand the concept of a Julian calendar its not hard. The only "trick" is determining the decade when it's not obvious.
Occasionally, you will find Spec. Ord. numbers that are not dates. Some are actually larger than 365. Maybe one label in 80. Almost always the gun will have unusual features.
In those cases I believe the number is in fact some kind of special code. The exact meaning of which only S&W knows.
