jbtrucker I am trying to attach a photo but I don't know how. I tried what you said but it appears the spring is too long????

I think you are correct, it's not compressing like it should. I will call customer support Monday. Thank you very much for your replies.

And yes, I have watched several videos on reassembly. And everyone of them it just pops right in. I am a fairly strong guy and I have pushed as hard as possible.

bsmiley it does not compress when I try to put it in the slide. I can compress the spring by pushing on the spring very hard.

I have a model 686, 357 mag. It is very difficult to eject spent shells. I was told that if a lot of 38s were shot through it a carbon build up could cause this issue. So I have cleaned the chambers very good. I have attached brushes to a drill and cleaned until it looks like a mirror. Any...

I have a 686 model. When I shoot 357 mag it is very difficult to eject the spent shells. I was told that when 38s are shot they leave a carbon build up and you have to clean the chambers very well. And I did. I used a bronze and a ss brush (I used a 357, 410 and 45 sized brushes) attached to a...
