a full underlug. Is that a mistake? I can't seem to find it any where, including the S&W website.

I sure hope there is no such thing! That would be an abomination!!

i dont see anything other than the standard 67 on the S&W website

The Model 67 shown in the 2012 Catalog seems to feature an ejector rod shroud (but not a full lug like the Model 617). Interesting.

Interesting. It looks like a Model 66 in .38 Special. Anyone know if they have the two piece barrel?

I have seen this referred to as a "half-lug". I think I see the line separating the muzzle cap and the barrel shroud of the three-piece barrel.

AKA Model 68...

Your link shows a 67 with a half lug as you say. HOWEVER, that is NOT the picture in my paper catalog. It is a full lug (looks like a 686).

I asked this same question in a thread back after I picked up the paper catalog at NRA in May. No one knew the answer.

The picture at the link clearly shows a Model 66 type underlug, while the paper catalog did show a full lug like a 686.

Apparently, the answer is still not known.

I hope it is NOT the full lug like the 686, and I prefer the classic look of the traditional Combat Masterpiece, which is NO ejector rod shroud or lug.

I note, however, that the blue version in the Classic line, the Model 15, is pictured with the Combat Magnum Model 19/66 type of ejector rod shroud (I dislike the term half-lug, but that is what people call it now).

So, I guess it is possible that they have tried to make the 67 and the 15 the same, in order to resemble the old Models 19 and 66, since they will not make K frame .357 Magnums now.

What I really wish is that they would make the 686 with the standard old ejector rod shroud (half-lug) with the 7 shot cylinder. The 686 Mountain Guns they made a few years ago were just the ticket, but I missed the boat, and wish they would do it again.

I pulled out my 2012 paper catalog and the 67 shown does hace the full lug. I am thinking it is an oops. Does look rather neat looking but willing to bet it will not come that way.

Yep, definitely shows the full lug barrel. Who knows how it will really be once it arrives at your FLOGS (Friendly LOcal Gun Shop).
