A few years ago I acquired what apparently was an unfired 12-3 revolver. I'm fond of it, but the cylinder tends to bind on a fired case. It appears the problem is the hammer nose bushing, which is not flat but has a protruding lip at its edges. This would be warranty claim were it 1984 or so, but even if it was NIB, the warranty card in the box said "1 year" so it's long out of warranty.

I know of no 'smith in this area who specializes in S&W revolvers. Where to send it for a new bushing? I could go to the factory of course, but if I'm to send it off, I might as well go to a 'smith who could slick it up and install a spring kit, too.
