S&W 642 Airweight Centennial Pro Series ??

BTT one quick time before migrating to ATE.

Anyone here know if they're still making these,
and if not how many did they make?

Is there any significance to the number "323"
as shown on the frame and crane?

Probably an assembly number, so that the parts aren't accidentally separated during the finishing and assembly process.

Sounds to me like NUNN knows what he's talking about...
Other than the serial number... There's nothing on separate parts to identify mates.

That 323 is likely what ties all the mating parts together to keep mis-matched pieces from occurring.

Thanks Nunn.

I didn't know if it was a numbered series or limted run or what.

Not an easy gun to research.

S&W still shows it in their catalog, but I haven't seen too many of them being bought and sold these days.

There is no correlation between this # and the serial #.

That would be a pretty huge coincidence if they weren't somehow connected.

I think you're on to something. But I don't know what.
