Did my 1980, S&W Model 34 Kit Gun yesterday. It went just like you guys said it would. Took maybe 2 hours but I took my time.
All these years I've put up with difficult extraction and binding while shooting this gun. That, in addition to this gun being sent back to S&W at least once for tune-up and repair. It FINALLY functions like a S&W should.
I bought the reamer directly from Mansons. Had to pick up a handle from Ace Hardware for about $23 and a can of spray lube from Harbor Freight for another $8 but I feel it was well worth it. I feel like I got me a new gun! Now I'll re-blue the cylinder on this well-used companion.
I also have a safe queen K frame 22 that will get the same treatment.
