Another case of some simple "Yankee ingenuity"!
The cyl would open normally until it got into the peened area at the end of its swing where it would snug up. What could be simpler. After 30 years you maybe install a new yoke retaining screw, big deal.
I agree, S&W would not do that, they have excellent gunsmiths but they will not do nothing outside the "box", except adjusting trigger pull.
