31/2" 5 Screw 357
Came across this one last week. Came in what appears to be a duty holster and wearing Goodyears.
A forum member hooked me up with the magnas. Thanks Oldk22.

End shake is something that can be corrected by the installation of the correct shim, something I would expect would cost under 50 dollars if you have a gunsmith do the work.
As for the rotational play, by design the S&W revolver is intended to be a Combat Revolver and one aspect of that use is that the revolver must still function properly after being dropped in a muddy trench. As a result no S&W revolver was ever made to be "bank vault tight", they should in fact have as much as about 1/32 inch of play in full lockup. It's one reason why these revolvers have a Forcing Cone in the barrel. Because it uses the bullet engaging into the barrel to bring the cylinder into alignment.
In summation I think you should count yourself lucky for finding this revolver and have the End Shake corrected while learning to accept that a properly functioning S&W revolver is supposed to have some play in the cylinder at full lockup.

It does look much better with the rubber grips gone and period correct stocks installed.

Chukar60, nice old .357 Magnum. For me it's in ideal condition. Nice enough to shoot and show off to friends. Yet, it's not so nice you don't want to shoot and carry it from time to time.
