I considered my self lucky recently when I found an opportunity. I decided to be rid of a foreign 44 spec snubby because of scarcity of repair parts. While searching the pawn shops I found a 13-3 RB, 3" in nice to my eyes cond. I made the deal including trade and walked out happy..It ate some 18 or so 158 lead swc's over 5.5 Unique very well. I broke it down, cleaned lubed and since the smallest perseptable endshake appeared, ( between .004 to .008 air gap) I put in a .002 shim. We happy so far. Then out to the yard and feeding some 158 LSWC over 4.4g 231 It started not wanting to rotate. Apparently the "thing", the disk in the recoil shield where the fp sticks thru has become dislodged and sunk in some. The fired primers back out a tad and fill the gap. I had known about this problem in the no dash 586's. Pics to follow if I find my memory chip adapter. Does S&W fix this or have I outsmarted myself again?
