"Recognize S&W had been boring 38 S&W barrels for almost 75 years with its unique barrel dimensions AND AS USED in the 38/200 Victory models."

Why ever, after 75 years, would S&W change the 38/200 barrels from the correct .3595"-.3612" groove and .354" bore diameter to the incorrect .357" dimension of the 38 Spl??? Yes, of course 38/200s most certainly have the correct 38 S&W barrel dimensions.
