That is really cool! I'm fairly certain that I read that early on they did chamber some Model 10s for .357 mag, but then swiched to a model 19 designation. This could be totally wrong of course, but I thought it was interesting. I imagine that if it worked for that early batch it should work...

Can you swap in a 357 cylinder and fire it safely through a Model 10? Or did you put a barrel marked "357" on the model 10 frame.

Hey everyone! Well I think I fixed the problem! I bought a used cylinder on ebay, put it on my current crane and it fit like a glove! barrel-cylinder gap comes out to a CONSTANT .008"! A little high, but safely within recommended ranges of the gun! The new cylinder also looks brand new...

WR Moore: I will look into all of these as possible problems/solutions, thank you for the detailed advice. I won't be able to mess with the thing while being out of town for the weekend. vonn: That's an interesting fix, I don't think I have enough room in there all around for a shim but I...

There is a little bit of slop in the cylinder side to side on the yoke. How did you solve the issue? I imagine that the yoke could be modified but it may be worth getting a new one at that point.

I'm going to attempt to diagnose and fix this thing. If push comes to shove, Ill go and buy a spare cylinder, those things are a dime a dozen. I'll post updates as I learn more and get to the bottom of this. If anyone has more suggestions, I'll gladly listen! I'm no machinist and I'm...

I used a lapped surface plate and a dial indicator and determined the two cylinder faces are both parallel and ground precisely. To determine that the cylinder is not rotating properly, I mounted the gun and used the same dial indicator to measure the cylinder. I've also chucked it up on a...

I did buff out burs on the rachet under a microscope. I also measured it and noticed no high spots. The ejector rod is straight, It's within .001" when spun on a lathe chuck. I did notice on the front of the cylinder where the cylinder meets the yoke, that there was a high spot, so I machined...

I considered a new hand, that may solve the timing issue, but again, its just the slightest bit slow, not really even an issue. I also considered en shake bearings, but there's no end shake to eliminate? The cylinder might move by a thousandth or two either way when in the gun.

Hello everyone! First post here on the S&W forums. I stumbled on yall's FAQ and it is fantastic for the S&W revolver. I have a problem though with my Model 10 that I cannot figure out. I bought the gun cheap and bought it as a project, so I'd like to figure it out. One of the cylinder...
