With the advent of laser engraving, it is very easy to make special runs. If bought new at Cabella's, it was probably made up for them.
All the labels on the boxes for YEARS now have had a "Spec Order" number, so I don't believe it stands for "Special Order". Perhaps it does and is just a marketing ploy- I don't know.
You MIGHT get some data by calling S&W customer service. If you do, please ASK what "Spec Order" stands for.
