Default Where's the crown?

Noticed on my 629-2E revolver it has very little crown showing,almost like a very thin chamfer cut or deburr.
Are all 629's with 3 inch barrel cut like that?
I would say the width of the chamfer cut is .020-.030 at most!

The "Crown" of a barrel is simply the muzzle end, regardless of how finished, even if simply cut off with a hacksaw. The question is "How should the crown be finished?" Without pictures it is difficult to say if this is a normal factory crown, but, yes, S&W has finished the muzzle of some iterations of some models with a simple inner and outer chamfer.

How does it shoot?
If you're not getting good groups, show us a pic or two.
If it shoots good groups, fugetaboutit.
