Unless you already have a sky screen chrono and don't want to spend the money to replace it, there is no reason to be dealing with them now that there is a Doppler option. Buy once, cry once.

Because sometimes there is a variance in the cylinder where it bares on the end of the yoke barrel so that would create a situation where it will sometimes align with the bend and sometimes not. The center pin in the X frames is different also. It doesn't go all the way through the yoke so...

Could be a bend in the ejector rod or the yoke barrel or both. It is definitely something between the rear lock up and the front of the yoke. As the cylinder turns, it binds.

Carlton Fisk waving his walk off game 6 1975 world series home run fair. They would go on to lose game 7 and keep the curse alive. Anyone who says base ball is just a game has never sat in the roof seats of Fenway Park for a twilight game in August with a cold beer and a sandwich from the...

Bobby Orr. 1970 Stanley Cup winning goal.

Before you start down the cylinder replacement path, check the headspace on the one you have. My recollection is .060 to .068. I'm not 100% sure about that so anyone can feel free to correct it. In my experience, a bulged chamber usually leaves something visible behind like an external bulge or...

Looking at that photo I'm starting to lean towards the ammo. Try some new factory loads, not +p, and see what happens. That case looks a little tired to me.

Case head separation happens because of excess headspace, which is the distance between where the cartridge stops it's entry into the chamber and the point on the frame where the cartridge stops its rearward movement. Oversized chambers do not generally case headspace problems. An oversize...

Take it to someone who knows what they are doing and have them check head space and end shake. I think your problem can be fixed without changing the cylinder.

I think your primers are backing out. It probably has more to do with the brass than high pressure. Sometimes the primer pockets are weak and don't hold the primer as tightly. It backs out and jams up the works. When you muscle the cylinder open, they get pushed back into the pocket so you don't...

My point is that I don't think that the lock decision has anything to do with the move to Tennessee. Revolver production, and I'm going to bet revolver design also, remain in Massachusetts. The forging operation also remains. They forge many things there from golf clubs to auto parts. If you've...

I'm sure they had an epiphany about the lock as soon as they turned on the lights in the new building.

You do realize that those guns are manufactured in Massachusetts? As are all S&W revolvers. They kept revolver manufacturing in Springfield, along with their forging operations.

Hemenway's is great. If you like really well prepared seafood, it's hard to beat and it's nice to sit there and watch Providence life go by while you eat dinner. Calamari? Errrr...not so much. It's like a fishy tasting rubber band to me. Scallops are best grilled in olive oil and some garlic. I...

Well there was an 8 year period there where they might have gotten an upgrade.
