I did decide to file the replacement strain screw by 1/32" from 1/2" stock length. The 1/2" length was a nuckle buster with a horible trigger pull and the factory S&W screw was 7/16" long which was too light set off the Winchester USA box ammo consistantly in DA. So I went to the range tonight...

I put probably 2,000 of Winchester white box through my model 67-5 that I bought new in 2004 and it always went bang and in the 3,800 I shot through it never went click like this 66-8 did. I'm kicking myself for selling that 67-5 a few years back. lol I found a pic another member posted of his...

I pretty well blame the shotened strain screw because the DA trigger pull is much heavier like around 14 pounds. When the trigger has been dropped and the hammer is pulled back the tension is allot higher. BTW what is the stock DA trigger pull for the newer K frames?

I got the replacement factory strain screw from Midwayusa which is S&W part #515288 and it measures 1/2" overall the strain screw that came in my new 66-8 is 7/16" long. I have no idea how that got in there but after installing the longer screw the trigger pull is heavier and the mainspring is...

Oldgranddad take a look at the tip of that strain screw it looks like it was filed flat and it's a new revolver. I ordered a factory k frame round butt strain screw from Midwayusa and it's suppose to be delivered tonight I'll take a pic of it for comparison. For a 1.99 screw I can handle that...

I bought a new 66-8 and have put a total of 500 rounds through it so far. I've shot 50 Remington 357 125gr and 200 of 38 spl 130 gr without issue but when shooting 200 of Winchester 130gr 38 spl I am getting periodic light strikes (12 so far in 200 rounds of Winchester 130 gr). This is when...

SOLD - 1 Pair of Factory S&W J Frame Wooden Grips and a HKS Speed Loader Model 36-A. Price: SOLD

I got my pin from S&W today in the mail. The pin was over a 3/16" too long and the fit was loose. So I ground off some of the pin to the correct length and took a chisel and dinged the pin in the middle to stake it as suggested by ColbyBruce. That worked great and its nice and tight now...

OK that makes sense, thanks for the tip.

It will shoot fine without it. I guess it just ensures that the ejector rod stays put if it gets hit on the side.

They are sending me one also. It can't be that difficult to install maybe some Loctite applied so that it doesn't fall out again.

I just bought a new 637-2 J frame last week, so yesterday I took it to the range for the first time. After I shot 35 rounds of +P 38 special ammo through it I noticed the locking bolt pin fell out of the barrel. Luckily the spring and locking bolt didn't get lost but the pin is gone. This...
