Could someone please help me with finding a competent Smith & Wesson gunsmith in the Seattle area? I have a friend who has an Airweight that has a loaded cylinder and it is jammed solid. He can’t ship it so he needs to take it direct to a gunsmith.

Thank you
Jim R

A few choices; he could take it to Ben at DJs Loan and Sport in Bothell WA (north a little) or take it to Fred at CAR firearms in Tukwila. Either case, CALL AHEAD and advise of the guns condition.
Also, it might be worth carefully trying to tighten the ejector rod since its reachable on the airweight without opening the cylinder. Being very careful, of course.

Not the ejector rod. Guys kid was shooting bombs through it. Cylinder now spins both ways. Cylinder will only come out about 3/8" if that much.

This revolver has a serious tummy ache

It'll look good on the wall above his reloading bench to remind him that stupid is as stupid does. Costly lesson.

Fred worked on a K22 for me and I was happy with his work.
