Picked this up a month ago, looked like any pre lock 625 and it shoots great.
Was looking at serial number and started wondering what was special about it.
It started life as a Lew Horton Springfield armory special. Only 500 of these made but apparently the first owner didn't like the Springfield logo in gold on side plate ot the wording on the barrel and polished it all off.
For the price I paid I'm not going to complain at all but why would someone mess with a low production gun.
Love the gun, another one off my bucket list.
