Easy to deal with. Fast to send check. Thank you Drew!

Stainless is easily fixed. Nickel maybe, blue needs the most work to look right. I always remove the cylinder. it's really the best way to clean dirty revolvers! Mothers mag polish for the first 2 with a little scotchbrite to redo the brushed look.

When you stretch the yoke barrel the end shake will disappear. .002 end shake is ideal. You will notice the barrel air gap will grow was you tighten up the end shake. The head space is controlled by the center "boss" of the ejector. Never file this boss down! Head space on a 22 mag is...

223 brass sold, thanks Drew 500 brass and boxes available.

S&W revolvers have the tool made underneth the side plate, ready for that purpose! Funny, the book calls it a hammer block....

Well, if the home invaders are dressing up for the invasion, it's time to use a rifle, don't you think? The 500 will turn your inner ear to jelly if you must shoot inside the house. I shutter to think of it.

The 625s never seem to follow any format. First 89 I've seen with an old frame. :rolleyes:

Old post as I'm too lazy to retype this. :) http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-smithing/131102-bead-blasting.html

The lug is long because they are staked in place. So lay the frame on a solid block of metal (lead) and stake it from inside. I use locktite also so it won't ever twist when I fix them. File the insides smooth then reassemble the action parts.

The biggest thing I hate about the 89 guns is if you wipe the gun with polish you can remove the laser markings. The 88 gun is stamped and is much more durable & desireable. The 2ND reason the 88 is worth more is the place of the firing pin. It's on the hammer and not stored in the frame.

After several hundred fired thru mine.

Dry fire with the side plate removed could cause that. I just don't see how it could break with the side plate on. The pin is supported on both sides, unless the pin is simply defective.

The hunter model. I have one over here too. I love the sucker! rings are more rare

I posted this before. This is a copy and paste for your pleasure. Hand fitting does violate "file the cheapest part" rule. Before a wider hand will do any good, it must catch the ratchets closer to the center of the cylinder. This means you must file the hand's window only on the left side and...

Take care when attempting this. Striking too hard will shatter the lug and now you have a 5 shot... Of course now your forced to send it back. I done this myself so this should be your finale attempt before sending the gun back. Some extractors are possibly not available.

Good guy and quick to pay. I even learned something in the process! Thank you sir!

I see a problem with your gun. It's not in my collection............:)

I picked this up the other day. To clean brass and silencer baffles. I use it with stainless media. It does a wonderful job.
