I am looking at a 44mag, but it is something of a puzzle to me.
It is marked 29-5. But, it has a 6" half lug barrel, a ramp on ramp red front sight, a fluted cylinder and is a square butt. It is not the 29-5 classic with the full lug.
It also has 3T's. Ser# is BPA 64XX
Any ideas? I am leaning towards just a run of the mill 29-5 made sometime in 1993, although the SCS&W doesn't list ser number prefix.
Perhaps no one understands what your question is here.
Do you distinguish between a half-lug barrel and a barrel with an ejector shroud? The 29-5s I've seen did not have the barrel with the full underlug, though there's an auction site with a couple full-lugs for sale. Why do you think this 29-5 is not the 29-5 that you are looking for? Solely due to the serial number?
A picture would help the experts immensely. The folks here are fantastic at researching this info. Swear some know the SCWA like the back of their hands.
while most of the 29-5's that show up tend to be the full lug version, there are half lug guns around as well. The dash 5 was simply another engineering change denotation. The -5 ushered in the change to the entire, full endurance package.
The one you are looking at would be a gun I would be highly interested in myself. All the original parts- sights, triggers and hammers, SB grip, with the entire endurance package.
What is this 44mag???
