I have not found any info on an adapter plate to fit a Burris Fastfire to an M&P core, is one available? Thanks for the replies and info, now I know I can mount the Burris fastfire sight I have when I get my Core.

Back in 1975/76 I paid $212.00 For my nib 66 , 4" which iirc was list price plus tax back then. I got it from a large S&W dealer who did not inflate the price like many others at that time did for any stainless gun due to lack of supply to meet the demand.

Could the OP please post as to what exactly he meant by "fell Apart" And have you checked the main spring screw as suggested?

it is a trigger over travel stop, it is just a small screw that holds it in and has come loose, if you use it for target shooting no need to take it out, clean all dirt and oil from the area and just slightly tighten it down and adjust it to stop the rear-ward travel of the trigger to just as it...

I two model 66's, one is a 2K with only a V stamped on the rear of the cylinder, the other is a newer 9K that has the complete serial # stamped on the rear of the cylinder along with a Diamond and the V. The 9 K was sent back to the factory for a re-barrel back in the late 1970's If I remember...

New is not synonymous with better, Ballistol has been around for about 100 years or so, many people who have not used it poo-poo it, some just because it has been around so long, others because they don't like the smell. Used properly it is just as effective , if not more so, then most other...

Im not so sure it's "over pressurized " , or bullet set back, or just the possibility that the shield is at the limits of the power it can handle. Could be caused by the slight unseen variances in product integrity / tolerances that can occur in high output manufacturing . Quality control with...

I've read a lot about the 40 shield blow-ups both here and elsewhere, but, I don't recall reading about any 9mm problems like these. Anyone know if the 9's have also had this problem, or is it just the more powerful 40's that are involved?

new or used? use a 22 rifle brass brush with a good cleaner and SCRUB the chambers very well. look through the chambers under a strong light and see that they are smooth and clean. If they are rough looking you may need to have a finishing reamer make a pass through each of them. If they look...

You did get the finishing reamer , right? Because they also carry the roughing in one.

the flat main springs are probably for the I frame, predecessor of the J frame.

I have "converted" several 34's in years past. It can be done with no problems, Mine have always shot just as well as before the change over. Never had a problem with the minor bullet diameter difference . A decent gunsmith could do it if he has the proper reamers. BUT DON'T DO IT! Once done...

Make sure you use it exactly as instructed on the container. Excess frog lube becomes very stiff when near freezing and hard as a rock in 0 degree temps. It has and will make cleaning easier as stated before, but if you live or hunt in cold country just remember EXCESS Frog lube ( in COLD temps...

There are many reasons why 99.9% of these swaps must be gunsmith fitted or are not easily accomplished, if at all. Model changes is one, many times dimensions are changed,parts modified, etc. This is not a usually practical , or cheap job. Fitting even a proper cylinder, calls for a pro in...

check to see if the locating pins are present in the cylinder under the extractor, It looks like they are missing and the extractor star was peened with a punch to keep it in place. IF SO , it's worth considerably less, and needs to be professionally repaired. Also the finish appears to be...

I guess you don't need another "Clean Your Guns" post. By now we all know a clean gun is a good gun.

I have been an avid shooter,collector,hunter for over 45 years, and all this talk about devaluing your revolver would be true if it is a "collectors" piece. I really don't think your 629 will be devalued by magnaporting it. Unless of course it is a unique factory produced limited production...

you might want to try [email protected] I saw this on another forum

tolerances can and do make a difference , even S&W has + and - . There might be a minimum size on the screw and a maximum size of the screw hole,causing it to be able to loosen with recoil. Not a common problem but a possible one. Try the blue Loctite, it won't hurt anything at all and is easily...

your prototype is getting better and better! Fantastic! good luck in your further developments, I for one would love to have one just like it.
