I just bought a model 624 sorry no pics yet. It will be a couple of days yet before I pick it up. So here is a little bit of the story! found it at Cabelas asked to see it. Opened the cylinder checked the SR# AHB98xx my memory said this one is ok from the recall.
finished checking the rest of the details cylinder lock up bore ect. all checked fine. Did not appear to have been used much bad news rubber grips no box ect. just the gun. Told the sales clerk let's write it up and make the deal. I get home and then start to think do I remember correctly SR# range correctly? So I get on the Forum and do a search, found many old threads on this subject and the SR# ranges on the recall. There was also several post on contacting Kate Fredette that she has the answers to clear or not. So this morning I decided to e-mail her about this 624 at 5:30 am and by 10:41 am she had responded. Confirmed it was not part of the recall my memory was correct. Now all this rambling is about 2 things! since joining this Forum I have learned so many things shared by many people willing to do so. That is what makes this Forum so great and why I am proud to be a member. The other is I can not say enough for how fast the response was from Kate Fredette from Smith & Wesson hats off to her and Smith & Wesson. Just to get back to the 624 it has been on my short list for some time, I will need to update with pics and range time.
Thanks Rusty
