Anyway, in my other thread I expressed interest in getting a Model 19 revolver, and I was warned that using light grain magnum loads could crack and destroy the barrel forcing cone. I did some googling and found older forum posts where people were saying that Smith and Wesson was no longer producing model 19 barrels and so they could no longer repair or replace barrels with cracked forcing cones.
Since Smith and Wesson is reintroducing the model 19, I thought I'd ask if they could repair old model 19s, specifically from the '80s.
They replied today with the following message:
I dont know if this applies to Model 19's with pinned barrels though. So, good news at least.

The way it’s stated it sounds like they’ll replace any model 19 barrel with the new model 19 barrel. That’s how I’m reading it.
