    Are There Any REAL Gunsmiths Left?

    BMCM is correct. The primary catridge stop is a protusion on th link. This can be welded/recontoured to fix the problem. I am surprised to hear that there aren't any good gunsmiths in East Texas. Regards, Dale

    629-3 double action problem

    It was never fully explained to me. The instructor at the armorer school just said that occasionally some pistols would have them. It's purpose is to act as a trigger stop. It is also an easy modification for an owner to do. Since every Smith is test fired at the factory I would assume that such...

    629-3 double action problem

    Yes. In the older model revolvers the trigger stop was a piece in the back of the trigger guard. I have only occasionally seen a revolver with the pin in the rebound spring. It is not necesary to the correct operation to the revolver. Take it out and see if it is the problem. If it is and you...

    629-3 double action problem

    That pin is found in some guns and is used as a trigger stop. It might be that it is just a tiny bit too long. Put the gun back together and leave the pin out. See if that is the problem.

    If you remove the side plate please be careful that you properly put the hammer block in proper position before attempting to put the side plate back on.

Your hammer is hitting the interal portion of the latch, or what Smith & Wesson calls the bolt. 4. Your cylinder is binding due to bent extractor rod/center pin. 5. You have high pins...

    One other thing I forgot to mention.This guy that sells these is great to deal with. I just ordered the optional blocks to help hold guns with funny shaped slides like the XD. I mentioned that I wanted to buy an extra "pusher" block and what had happened to mine. He is sending it free of charge...

    I purchased one of these a bit over a year ago. I have used it to change the sights on about 75 pistols. These include XD, Kimber, Sig, M&P, and a few other "tough" guns. The tool allows you to adjust the slide position so you can get the "Pusher" blade down close to the bottom of the sight. Two...

    New 4 inch 25-5

    I picked this up at the Phoenix Gun Show a couple of weekends ago. It has the pinned barrel which if I understand correctly means that the cylinder throats are probably oversized. The gun is interesting in that it has the narrow hammer, narrow trigger and the ramp is yellow. Overall it seems to...
