In Rugers it's usually the "transfer bar". Are we talking about the same thing here just a different name?

Are you prepared to receive a 5000 word dissertation from the Pro’s here? (Of which I am not one). I believe the ‘short answer’ to your question would be Nossir. But the rattle is almost definitely the hammer block, and this is completely normal. I also think the mechanics of Rugers and S&W’s are like apples and oranges, but again, don’t listen to me because a Guru will be along shortly...
Edited to say- I am not being smart alleck. I was born mechanically uninclined, but learn every time The Gurus speak. So I hope they do.
