    What's the general consensus on the "Classics" models?

    I'm super happy with my 29-10 6.5". Fit, finish and accuracy are second to none.

    LRN vs FMJ...is the cleanup that bad?

    If your 627 is compensated like my V-comp, then yes lead makes a much bigger mess. I've decided to switch to Berry's plated bullets. I haven't loaded them up yet, but I expect to catch much less **** in the comp.

    I was beginning to think I was the only one who likes long barreled revolvers.......

    Sideways ampersand

    The serial number on my 27-2 is N184xxx. It dates to 1973 according to the S&W catalog. So, I guess the consensus is that my 27-2's barrel was from an older inventory of pre 27-2 barrels? Neat! I did do a search on "Lazy Ampersand". Lots of great information about them. Thank you, everyone...

    Sideways ampersand

    I did a search but could not find anything. Sorry if this is an old question...... Does anyone know why Smith & Wesson used a sideways ampersand on the barrel stamp? Was it just too tall? My newer revolvers ampersand is vertical. Any significance to the revolvers age? Might just be a weird...

    Model 29-10 Cylinder Burn Marks and Front Sight Screw Fix

    Odd that they would want you to send it back after offering to send you another screw.

    29-10 Classic or 629 Performance Center

    I managed to sell the Super Redhawk. So, if all my other items sell on Gunbroker, I can get both. That would make me, and more importantly, my wife very happy. She really wants me to get the classic.
