.455_Hunter, thanks for the update and sorry about your needing to send the gun back to be checked. This actually gets more confusing to me with each contact with S&W, bringing more questions to mind, such as, kf emails you and states that you guns serial number falls in the range of affected guns and if you do not have the original box with a red C on it you should return it to be checked. This should only need to be done if your gun is in the range and has never been back to be checked, hopefully S&W keeps a list of guns they actually checked and look at that before telling you to send yours back. Her email to you makes it sound like without the original box they have no way to check if it's ever been back, this makes no sense to me. You might also ask if the cylinder would happen to fail can you have the gun back minus the cylinder, possibly having a cylinder from another gun fit to that frame.
Keith
