I'll take ks3

Looking for the tool set to cut 11 degree forcing cones in revolvers made by brownells/manson reamers. Would Also buy plug gauges too. Thanks!

Would love to get the file to print one for my shop! If he wouldn't mind sharing, of course.

Looking for an oem set, I believe they were smooth rosewood with medallions. Thanks!

Plan on renting a reamer to use to cut the chambers on a 31-1 to 32h&r mag. Any insight on the difference between pilots and which to choose?

Primer seating depth is good. Installed an extended firing pin and tested over the weekend. An improvement for sure, but still getting light strikes, just not as often. Ordered a Wolff full power mainspring and an extended strain screw to try next.

Thanks yall. I removed the pin, cleaned and degreased, and went back together with high temp loctite. Bent the pin a hair prior to reinstalling. So far it's solid.

Picked up a 4 inch 57, no dash. Found out that the front sight is loose, almost like it's on a seesaw. Is this a common issue? Any good way to get it tightened back up solid to the barrel? Other than some honest wear on this gun that's the only issue. Smooth target stocks, target trigger and...

I received an extended firing pin in the mail yesterday. Going to try that first. If I still get light strikes, will order a factory power main spring. Also, I removed the grips to look at the main spring. It appears to have a groove running down the center. No idea if that's an indication that...

I'll give factory a try, but doubt the reloads are the problem. I shot this same batch of my reloads through my 65 and 586 no dash with no light strikes. Shot 50 rounds today with the 686 and had 1 or 2 light strikes every other cylinder.

Good evening! Picked up a new to me 686-6 plus. Took it to shoot this afternoon and was getting light primer strikes on my handloads. Using federal small pistol magnum primers. Took the grips off and checked the strain screw, which is tight. Anything else to look for? I can't say I'm...

Nice first revolver! The L frames are great. The first revolver I ever shot was my Dad's Nickel 586. It's my favorite S&W I own. Be careful! It's easy to get hooked on these guns. My collection has grown to include quite a few now.
