OK, here is a picture of the forcing cone on my example. I am not a great photographer. I am also not an expert on much of anything. Please forgive the lint.

This Forum does seem to have more than it share of self acclaimed experts. Hope it helps others affirm or dispute their thoughts on a fine revolver. I am blessed and do own more than my share of S&W revolvers.

It is your choice, as it is mine, to own one or not. I am fine with it being French. I also have a Chinese Norinco SKS just to add to my lack of credibility.
