I kind of have the same problem with my 66 round butt.
If I push the grip screw through all the way first then finish wrapping the grip around then tighten this works for me.
Because the threaded part is wider than the shaft if you get the threaded part past the mainspring then fit the other...
Please be careful of the hot 125gr. Loads as the forcing come on k-frames have a "flat" spot on the bottom. I would stick with 158gr loads. I have a 66-4 and I still have yet to run into problems with the heavier bullets

You might even chech the frame screw. I have a 10-8 that is pretty tough to swing out. I put a little locktite on the screw and backed it of ever so slightly till the cylinder would swing free but not too much as to mess with proper function

This has happened to me with my model 66. It's and easy fix like these gentleman said just absolutely keep an eye on the screw driver not to booger the screw head and be careful not to over tighten
Thank you! I saw one a few weeks ago and the crown was awful. Like if you put your thumb on the end of the barrel and twisted your thumb it would've tore your thumb up.
Yours however looks like the craftsmanship I expect from S&W! This makes me feel better about the remake! Thanks for sharing...
I only borrow guns from my brother. If I shoot them I wipe them down and then when I go to his house to return it he will break it all the way down and show me how he does it. This isn't because I can't do it just mostly because he said not to because he will just end up cleaning it again no...
