Well, it did not have enough travel to let the cylinder stop lock. Once it was locked it was locked. I bent the hand sligtly, not visible but now it is much better, now there is maybe only one hole were it just locks as the hammer falls in very very very slow double action, on the others I can...

Hello! I have a M 28 with some small problems. It does not lock up properly on some holes in the cylinder. But the hand, what type should it be? I bought an ovesize hand bit I am not sure it is the correct type, I am hesitant of using it. Please look at the picture. I have read about floating...

Thanks for Your answers! If I want to buy a stock s&w spring, is there a place to order it online? Brownells seems to have only Wolf type springs? Living in Sweden I am limited to online shopping and the god will of shops/manufacturers willing to ship parts to Sweden..

Is there a way to get heavier/harder hammer strikes without a heavier main spring? I recently bougt a M-28 that will not fire factory 357 double action, but fires fine in SA. There appears to be a Wolf reduced main spring in it, double action is not heavy but not super light either. I have a...

I have tried N105, but never tried it for accuracy or velocity and only with plated bullets for 357. I even tried for .38 special with som LRN 158gr it it worked ok..

S&B Sellier & Bellot - Pistol and revolver cartridges S&B LRN does feel a lot hotter than Magtech LRN by personal experience

I just used a scotch brite disc after I have removed the trigger. Smoothens and polishes in one step and it is hard to remove to much materia

I know 38sp dies work for 357, but still; Does anyone know the difference between these two Lee dies? If Lee has one dedicated for 357 and one for 38 special it must be a difference, but what is the difference? I checked the spare parts list, the expander part is not the same either, does...

I have some old Norma in wood grain boxes, 357 magnum 158gr swc jacketed. It states 442m/s 1450 fps on the box. I have chronoed it and it is not far off from a 6" colt trooper mk3. They are hot and give a nice flash. Other factory 357 magnum feels like practice ammo in comparision. (Here in...

Ok, thanks. Age on this specimen, I guess the A should not be there, I looked in the FAQ and my guess is 72 73, can that be right? What value would that gun have i US? I live in Sweden so the values are different. The modification on the hammer how much does that affect the price? I will go and...

I am tempted to buy a snub nose model 10-5 D (and maybe an A, did not read numbers myself) 436226 It is double action only, is that the way they were made? Is it possible to add single action by simple means? // Mattias

oal 1455 is .38 spec, you are looking at .38 spec data.

I find one die for .38 spec and one for .357 but I do not find the difference? What am I missing?
