AEV632X had a Heavy Barrel (HB) and smooth Magna Stocks. Did all the 3-inchers have a HB?

I can't find any information on the special order. I've been told they sold 1500 and 5000. Did you get a factory letter with any of yours?

Don, these aren't guns I own. They're guns and boxes I've seen and written down the info. The special order number is S&W code for the Julian date. The first number represents the year (1984), the last three being the day of the year. Sometimes the SO# represents something else, but in this case I'm pretty sure it's a date. BTW, all those guns were square butts.
