I have a gap on the lower lug to the frame and I’m wondering how other 29-10’s compare or if they have a gap at all. Attached is a lovely picture from S&W’s site that shows where I’m talking about. Notice there is no gap. I’m not attaching a photo of my own because the gap is... well let’s say it’s 3 feet for arguments sake. Not to mention the folks that’ll chime in and give me the great advice of “Just shoot it and enjoy” or “It’s a tool, treat it as such” or “If it’s x amount I wouldn’t worry” or.... should I go on? Ah hell why not since we’re in the midst of social distancing. “If you don’t like it sell it” or “I have the gap and just live with it, I suggest you do the same”
Not sure if I’ve covered everything but I truly am curious of other 29-10’s. My grandfather’s 29-2 does not have a gap and I’ve held several 629’s with no gap. Oh and yes.. I’ve emailed S&W and will be sending it in to get her re-blued after cylinder burn - their offer - and a screw is headed my way to stop future burn.
