The mainspring screw is not an adjustment - it is designed to be tight (all the time). You found the brink of “light indent” when you swapped out springs to where your gun would not fire. Rimfire guns need more “spring power” to fire rimfire ammo.

Yes, no doubt they brought your gun back to factory specs due to identifying aftermarket parts or a Bubba kitchen table smithing attempt. After all, guns are designed and expected to work properly when they leave the factory.

I cant answer all of your questions but having been in the factory “storage” room where I saw shelves and rows of handguns boxed and ready for shipment, they all had labels on the boxes (how else could they do an order pick?) So, I would expect the SOC was the date the finished product was boxed.

They can investigate it as anything they want… the mentally ill trans shooter is gone but with the climate of the naysayers, nothing will be done other than try to cram through more gun laws…

Likely not mentioned because the OP was talking about the “adjustment screw” officially known as the mainspring! But - you are correct that the rebound spring also affects trigger pull. Maybe some of the matched aftermarket kits have perfected a 100% lighter pull function but as a dept armorer...

This has been discussed on many occasions but as noted, there is no “adjustment screw” on a S&W. The mainspring is designed to be tight for everything else within to operate as designed. If you feel you “must” do some alteration, then about 3 strokes with a file across the bottom of the screw...

I put X frame grips on my 69 and they work great.

There is still WW1 ammo being fired that works just fine. Thinking you are seeking a solution to a non problem.

Actually by code it is suppose to be purple paint 2”x8” vertical with center of paint between 3’ and 6’ off the ground on trees, fence posts and road border areas. No distance between painted areas are specified.

Im in VA and currently have the same problem. Now trespassers are coming in with ATV’s through adjoining property that owners live out of state. My signs have been torn down and they are creating trails and using my trails and roads… New signs and chains going up this week along with game cameras.

Sounds like you have a keeper and are ok with sending it back to the guys that made it… Just suck it up and do it and you will have it looking new and you can have it checked out for timing, end shake and other such conditions. If you part it out it may end up looking like a repainted fender on...

Another vote for Lyman

Sought after models in high condition will always bring a premium regardless of the economy, etc. So don’t let a slick talker tell you otherwise. Do some gunbroker SOLD searches and see what the market has been offering for similar guns. You can set a reasonable reserve and good if you get it...

Easy to see rust indicates poor care and rubber grips could hide some serious finish issues. $400 would be my thought on value.

Are you saying - “We have lifetime warranty unless something breaks”?

And your comment has what to do with my comment on good looking and ugly guns?

So here is my gun trail through LE: Issued 4” model 10 Issued 4” model 58 Issued 2 1/2” model 66 (Vice) but carried Colt LW 45 Commander Issued HK P7M8 (Det) Issued Sig 225 (Det) Issued Sig 229 (Det) Issued HK 45 USP Compact (Adm)

I keep my inventory on a spreadsheet with appropriate data and a hang tag on the trigger guard with string for easy removal should a range trip occur.

All the extras you gun in question has were available in blister rack packages for consumer install. As noted, if you have the box then the label will indicate how it came from the factory.

Sorry you don’t like my answer, but here we execute the destruction order and the executed original goes in the court case file.
