Then came the 4xxxxx series, a short error run in the 5xxxxx range that were shipped as duplicates since that was for the Super Single Six, then on to 8xxxxx before finally going to the 20- prefix.
Īfter 199999, they made a few in the 2xxxxx Lightweight range, then started numbering the all fixed sight guns in the 3xxxxx range (which was formerly used for only the Magnum guns, but by this point, even the 6.5' gun was usually a convertible, so the Magnum frame rollmark changed to the normal. They list the fixed sight numbers in the 3xxxxx, 4xxxxx, and 8xxxxx range in the Magnum Model section. Because they got that info from Wilson's book and he was wrong too!
