Interesting how he went from the Model 1950 target and 1955 44 Magnum directly to the 1988 Mountain Revolver, with no mention of the 24-3/624 44SPL reintroduction. I would assume this where Tom Campbell got the stainless 4" tapered barrel for pairing with a 44 Mag cylinder to make the 44 Mountain Revolver prototype.
They have a great channel
Yes, I saw this this morning, prior to seeing this post. It was pretty thorough and he had a great collection.

Very interesting and enjoyable thank you for sharing it!
My brain works the exact same way connecting them.
So I do have OCD and small things easily trigger it , my fellow sufferers will have noticed there were several little errors, some on dates, some he says backwards , for example he explains the first 629-2 Mountain Revolver pretty thoroughly but at the end reverses it saying the 629-2 was a Mountain gun and everything after is a Mountain revolver, no biggie.
I think he missed the word "Classic" in describing the DX and that it also came in 5" ( the most desireable length) he might have hinted that the 686-5 was in the era pre mim but its not, it is pre lock with mim parts again no big deal.
I might be wrong, You decide .
btw sometimes I get that cognitive disonance thing and hear things that are right but flip them around in my brain so you may hear it differently.
I have to watch it again in the am.
I like those stocks, didnt know Herrets made them, not crazy about the new bear hug stocks so will have to look the Herrets up.
Btw SLT223 not sure Id include the 24-3/624 in the MG lineage either as it IMO is a side story along the way but not a true Mountain gun.
Then again you have a point on the barrel and it did pre date the 629-2.
Only other thing was something weird entered the shot at one point didnt catch what it was,
Oh and the way he was tossing those parts onto eachother was very cringy, couldnt help but think that with my luck those screws would have bounced off the table into the dirt and through a port hole into another dimension gone forever!

I caught those too, but appreciated his demonstration. Being a big fan of the MR and MG, I understood what he was saying. I was more bothered by his incessant coughing. Great collection!
