Talk about being blind and ignorant, I ordered a new spring figuring the person that messed up with the revolver lost it. Could not find a tutorial and all I had as a resource was a schematic from Brownels, could not figure out how the spring fitted, tought it belonged at the top part. It...

The front sight is pinned, I will take a look at rear blades, makes sense being easier to swap, thanks.

Took a look at it today, the hand spring is missing so I am ordering one, thanks again.

Been looking for a 22LR cylinder at Numrich, Brownells, even Midwayusa for over 2 years now with no luck!

Got a pretty nice 22 magnum 650 and I been told that I can convert it to 22LR via a barrel swap, Numrich has not had them in stock for quite some time now, is there another source for this? If I where to get one, will there be some serious fitting required or will it just be a drop in deal? I...

Guys, thanks a lot, I appreciate the education a lot. I am a wannabe gunsmith with no training whatsoever, I suppose that part is quite clear and so far I had some luck with online tutorials and such, seems this place will be a great resource as well. I sort of recall that the "hand" thing was...

Got the adjustable rear sight on it all the way down and I am still hitting a bit high at 25 yards. This is a gun I got to practice my basic revolver skills on every weekly range trip so I would like to be able to use affordable 22LR ammo on it. I suppose a taller front sight would fix this...

HKS makes some for S&W 22LR 6 shot model 17, all I could find, will this work as well on the 617?

Was thinking of might as well replacing that hand spring plus adding and oversized hand as I plan to install a Mickuleck spring kit on it but then this is a rimfire so I wonder if that is a good idea?

I just got this revolver which had the rebound slide spring cut over a third of the way which I swapped for an original one, also placed a new mainspring to realize that the misfires where due to the cylinder not rotating on every trigger pull. Whomever cut this spring also removed the hammer...

Mine measures 1.4535" putting the caliper on the outside of the ends of the actual cylinder but in your picture with the caliper it is not on the cylinder so I wonder how accurate the measurement is? I want this but please let me know if that is an accurate measurement or measure again! If the...

Thanks for the PM I am interested, I see that it measures 1.44" so let me get my caliper tomorrow and measure to see if it will fit mine, if it does we'll talk!

This is a MILLED RECEIVER Arsenal AK? Interested in an Spectre 9mm with one 50 round magazine? Gun works fine and looks good, very accurate! It does not have the collapsible stock, magazine also works fine but needs refinishing.

Thanks, I was told that this model came with both cylinders as an option, also that finding "just" the 22LR cylinder was going to be quite difficult, at any rate I am keeping this one, seems I'll be once again looking for a double action 22LR revolver!

Thanks for the info, again I am a newbie to this, would love to get a 22LR barrel for it so if anyone can direct me in that direction it would be appreciated!
