I am in the process of replacing a bulged cylinder on a 1994 model 629-4 5".
I called S&W and ordered a replacement.
I attempted to give details as to make and model, but was basically told they knew what I needed and would send it to me.
What I received appears to be the latest incarnation of the cylinder and extractor.
(D shaped extractor shaft,non removable gas shield)
My version has pins to locate the extractor.
Now to the problem,the hammer will not come to full cock.
The cylinder will rotate and align properly in both single and double action.
lockup is tight with me holding the hammer at full cock.
End gap is .005.
Any tips or insight?
Thanks
