Are Smith a@ Wesson revolvers covered by a lifetime warranty ?

I have a S2W model 48 manufactured in 1977. Is this covered by the lifetime warranty. Ihave beev told that only guns manufactured from 1990 on are covered.

The company has only offered the lifetime warrenty since 1990 as noted. They have, however, treated folks very well over the years. Unfortunately in the last couple of years some folks have reported that they've been charged for warranty work. It seems to be hit and miss, and it probably comes down to what is wrong and how much time/effort goes into repair. One thing for sure, there is a distinct lack of older parts available - barrels & cylinders for discontinued models, which effect what they can do these days.
Best to call them and talk to a customer service agent about what's wrong and get them to advise accordingly. (800-331-0852)

Smithnut covered it pretty well. But, a simple phone call to the Company will get you the last word on the subject. From the website:
