At the top of the "S&W - Smithing" forum page, there are a couple of great sources of information listed as "Stickys".....the FAQ and the Notable thread index. Links are listed below......

If you are interested in learning more about the internal working of the S&W revolvers, I would suggest picking up a copy of Jerry Kuhnhausen's book, The S&W Revolvers, A Shop Manual. 5th edition. It's full of high quality illustrations, schematics, and other information. Well worth the money.

As the old saying goes..."you only stop learning when you're dead", I have a long way to go before I know it all & hopefully, a long time to take as much in as I can.
I downloaded the manual for my particular model but it doesn't go into a great deal of "smithing", which I guess, is really a good thing. From what I've seen, it's a very involved & precise trade...& a bit costly. I'm a bit old (& broke) to take on the trade but maybe I can learn enough to recognize what I don't know & I won't screw something up. Lol
