What rattles in a 629?

[dbooksta]

When I shake my 629 forward and backward something rattles. I've disassembled it as far as you can see in the attached picture, and have tried holding my finger against every exposed piece and pressed in every spring-loaded component one at a time to try to find what's rattling, but I can't find the offending part!

Any ideas on what could be rattling or how I can find it from this point? Or is a rattle normal?

It's the hammer block (top item in your picture) and it's suppose to make that noise.
If you look on the inside of the sideplate, you'll see the machined grove that allows it to slide back and forth.

Put it back together, shoot it and enjoy!

Just to clarify: The rattle is still in the main assembly even after the hammer block is removed. I.e., picking up what's left of the gun in the attached picture and shaking it back and forth I still hear a rattle!

Since the gun still functions I'm not too concerned; more just annoyed....

There's a rod in the trigger rebound (inside the spring) that is sometimes used as a trigger stop on the N frames. Remove the rebound to see it. This is perfectly normal for it to do it.

If it's not the hammer block, usedkid is correct.

I like rattles, because they are clean inside. But if you hate the clicking sound add a drop of grease to both places.

A little dab of grease in the groove in the side plate where the hammerblock rides should quiet it down.

Also the cylinder could rat a little, by the looks it is sound.
