If the gun is an 0 frame, there's still a fair bit of meat in the wall at the beginning of the 'new' forcing cone. Don't roll over and play dead just yet.

I had that gun about a month before I shipped it off in January of 2023. I was so excited to finally get it by sheer stupidity on my part I paid no attention to frame size. I just wanted to be able to shoot it. I did get it’s research letter. 28 inch barrel and weighs 5 1/2 lbs. would that put it in 00 range? I can’t remember if it had the lightning strikes.
