S*** happens. If I worried about something as unlikely as my transfer bar breaking on my 649, I doubt I'd ever drive anywhere or even be able to make it out my front door.

Considering that there is no pressure on the transfer bar and it just rides happily in its little notch in the revolver sideplate, makes me think it was not assembled properly . . . PS don't let the service department know that you go by DrDremel, it just might void your warranty.
