I just picked up this beauty today from my LGS. When I bought it I was expecting an SC5 but when I looked at the box I noticed it said SC6. The S/N on the box looks like it came from the factory and the S/N on the mag cylinder is correct for the gun. Does anyone have knowledge if this has happen before?

it was a "Friday" gun, in a hurry to get out of there, seen it before, even in the New Models, they only had the two basic boxes,a RST-4 and the Blackhawk 357 mag. and the end labels changed for the gun put in the box that "fit".......:rolleyes:

and the old models they used a white label "cover up"....class dismissed:cool:;)
 
yes get the letter, BUT still never know what the "shipper" was looking at when he ( or she) processed it to ship...looked at the end label?? or actually open the box and look at the gun itself,,,,,sooooo even the records ( letter?) could be wrong.....just maybe there was a "small" white piece of tape or 'sticker' that had the shorter barrel (SC5)designation pasted over the 6 inch.,(SC6) printing.....hmmmmm:unsure::rolleyes:

....if only it could talk, not just go bang......:cool:;)
 
Here are the vaqueros. Same model number different grip frames. You can see serial numbers that match box. We are dealer FFL and my wife ordered a few of these i think from lipseys and one came wrong. So I kept these two for myself. I just think it's interesting.

Letter won't tell ya what box it was shipped in but would be interested in what barrel length was recorded. I've had a couple missed boxed guns. One was a super single six SC5 shipped in a SC6 box. Another time we ordered some Vaqueros and one had a Bisley grip

No it won't, but I am fairly positive what I have came from the factory just like yours. They are cool finds just the same.

It looks like factory "scribbling" on the box. I would be curious to see how it letters. Wouldn't surprise me if it comes back as SC6
Just human error.
We purchased 21 "D" guns once from a distributor. When they got here 7 of the 21 either didn't have a "D" beside the serial number or were a completely different model than what was indicated on the box.
