So I buy this and pick it up on Friday. One of the main reasons I chose it was due to the 1/8 5R barrel as advertised on the fore-grip sleeve. I didn't think to look for any markings on the barrel - why would I? As I am cleaning it yesterday, I notice the 1/9 (and no 5R) stamped on the barrel!
I research on this site and discover most if not all are now coming with the 1/9. Had I known this, I may not have purchased it!!! And before anyone poo poo's the 5R as "no big deal, get over it" I have it on my Rem 700 and think it is a big deal and a prime selling point - hence my decision to buy it.
I'll be contacting S&W to see what they say. My hope and expectation is that they will send out a FedEx box and swap in the barrel that they advertised. I'll keep you posted.
