Thank you for the information. I guess there is nothing wrong after all.

Ok need a little help here please. I have a blued 57 no dash that has a 5-7/8 barrel measured from the cylinder face. It is very nice condition so what do you think about it not being 6" ? It has the original front sight, well everything looks original. N4185xx 1977 I think. Fiddlestick

Picture quality Wow, you have taken the best pictures I have seen in a long time. Nice revolver also. Fiddlestick

It would be nice to make the changes to trigger and hammer. I have a gun smith that could do that for me if I had the parts. If anyone knows of some parts for sale please let me know and I will get them and have them installed. Fiddlestick

more pictures I have not much talent taking pictures. but here goes anyway. I found the family name in palo pinto county Texas as early as 1840's one of the founding county names that died in 1857 palo pinto county.i am not sure I should post his name here on the net.This person could be one of...

Ok I guess it's a re nickel then but very nice pistol anyway and I like it. The pictures were taken outside in bright sunlight.the trigger and hammer are nickel for sure. Thank you for the information does anyone know what year it was made? Fiddlestick

This is a new one for me. My wife and i went to visit her Aunt last weekend and while there her Aunt said she wanted me to have a revolver that belonged to her Dad. He was a constable in Palo Pinto County Texas back in the 30's or 40's she did not know for sure. We were down helping her move...

I agree,Having never worked on a smith its not a good idea to learn on a nice 1905 target. I will continue with the soaking and air idea. FWIW the revolver is working fine now,\ I think I may look inside a shooter model 10-5 that has alot of blue-loss to holster rubbing. I do have a set of...

I really dont know if I will ever shoot it. seems like a shame to not shoot it but what if something broke! Thanks for the comments I have several old S&W 5 screws now and look forward to getting some more. I didnt pay to much just bought it a little early. Fiddlestick

Thanks for your help. Yes the soak did work and I also found the M&P,1902 version. It says this will work for the 1905 & model 10 in the NRA assembly book. So I will start with the model 10 and work my way up to the 1905.

Well the latch was not stuck forward after all. It finally moved forward and released the Cyl.I guess its just sticky,probably dryed and cold oil. Here are some photos of the 1905 Fiddlestick http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y222/Fiddlestick/SW19054thchange007.jpg...
