I am looking for exploded views and parts list for my revolver, have lost a part, and not sure what to ask for. It is the spring the causes the "finger" to advance the cylinder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The "finger" is called the Hand and the little spring is called the Hand Spring. They are easy to loose. Smith has them, they would probably be willing to send you one free if you call them.

The finger spring... (just playin)

The hand spring (5118) is located in the trigger (5072). Are you sure it's missing or maybe it wasn't tensioned back on top of the hand pin (5042) when it was put back together.

That has to be a reilllllllly old parts list...refinish my 28 for $12??? I don't think so
Ok I see it now...1967. Great prices back then. That's a year before I went in the Army even

Let's see. In 1967 I was being paid $.90 per hour, so that was about $36 per 40 hour week, less one third for taxes (been approximately that my whole life), means about $24 take home. So a refinish took one half weeks take home pay.

Dad used to talk about the first new car he bought. A Ford that cost $855. He worked all year that year in the cotton mill, and his W2 had his income listed at just over $1,000.

He said it didn't matter what number you put on it, a years work in the cotton mill would buy a pretty nice car.

I suspect the costs are about the same today, actually. (If you could find a cotton mill still running in NC.)
