]Another question. Wrote in earlier about missing cylinder & received inputs as to where I could find one. Lots of help but none available. Returned from Mid West & lo & behold the company that had blued the frame, found the cylinder that they did not have. They returned to Gun Shop but did not blue it. Gun shop owner wanted to keep it until he had found another company to do blueing. He will have it blued when he finds Company. I wanted to put it togerther. I did, it shoots great. Now my question. According to Numrich there are two sideplates with different hammer blocks. The block on mine is an intregel part of the side plate, pressed in. When you cock it the hand cams against the block & moves it out of the way of the hammer. With the gun cocked, I can see about an 16th to a 32nd of the hammer block protruding. When I lower the hammer, I can feel the hammer hitting the hammer block. Is this normal, or is the hammer block out of position. I have Jerry Kuhnhausen's book, but there is no mention of this. I sent to the S&W Antique gun area. Thought I would try here, not sure if everyone reads everything.
Thank,
