Well S&W called me today. We talked and decided a refund was going to be best for both of us.
They said that because of the new rifling process that all the barrels were the same. And we agreed that a new barrel that looked the same was not going to work for my use(boolits).
This out come is ok with me. I will be able to look on the used market for an older Smith to shoot Boolits out of.
