Mr. Nash, Thank you for your posts, they always bring back fond memories of Smiths gone by. I would love to know more about that beautiful Smith with the pearl grips. Is that a First Model Hammerless ? Thank you again, Desmond

Thanks again fella's. I will keep the rebound spring in mind as we poke around in it's innards. Maybe I can get a pic or two and report back. Des

Thank you so much guys. Maybe my memory isn't so bad after all. Dragon, this Model 19 has been stored for probably 8 or 10 years. It belonged to son in laws dad and he had it for a number of years before he passed away. I think it just hasn't been used or lubed and whatever lube it came out...

Bell a case mouth, close your eyes and slide your thumb and forefinger down the case and across the case mouth. Belled properly you should just barely feel the expansion. Now take a bullet and set it on top of the case, it should set there without falling off. Side note, bell just enough to...

My son in law has an older Model 19 that needs a good lube. Single action dry firing will sometimes cause the trigger to remain back, doesn't reset. Nudge the trigger just a tad and it will reset. The gun hasn't been fired much but has been stored and not oiled. I would like to remove the...

I brought home a 6 inch 19-4 today and have really enjoyed this whole thread. This one is in 98% or better, pinned and recessed, small S&W logo under the cylinder latch, no trigger stop, 71K029x, standard hammer and trigger, black sights front and rear. I would guess it at late 1970's...

Much like the rest of the folks in this thread I sent mine back in the original box, wrapped in brown paper and FedEx didn't say a thing about it. Got it back in a couple of weeks with the original box inside another box. Worked great. I would suggest you keep both the original box and the...

I was pretty apprehensive about sending my 15-22 back to S&W due to the number of hands it has to pass through from here to there and back again. I sent it 12/2. Monday morning I gave them a call just to see if they had gotten it. The guy on the phone chuckled and said they didn't have it...

I sent my 15-22 back to S&W earlier this week. I am really anxious to get it back and see how it shoots. For those of you who sent the rifle back for the FTE, FTF, stove pipe failures and out of battery firing, did the rifle work correctly when you got it back ? About how many trouble free...

One last question before I take mine to FedEx. In the instructions from S&W it says that "FedEx requires that you verbally inform the receiving FedEx employee that the package contains a firearm." Did you do this ? Des

I received my return tag for a DTU prefix 15-22. It has the same problems that most everyone else is having. I just hope the fix that S&W does on the gun is permanent as I love shooting the rifle and it is very accurate. So far it has less than 100 rounds through it. Des

What parts are being replaced in the AR15-22 to correct the failure to feed/failure to eject problems ? Are these parts available to order from S&W ? Desmond

Tom, Smith will return this direct to me ? No need to ship back to an FFL holder ?? Des

Thanks Sub I'll give it a try. Des

Well, took my 15-22 to the range this morning along with a box of Federal Value Pack ammo. These are 36 grain hollow points with a muzzle velocity of 1260 fps. The rifle was purchased in mid April for a birthday present in May. It has a prefix of DTU and has no blue anything on it or in it...

Thanks guys for the information. In the Smith ads for this rifle it says it has a target grade barrel and tight chambers generally go along with that type of barrel. I can see where clean would be the name of the game in helping to prevent this problem. My first job when I get home is to...

What in the heck can cause an out of barrel cartridge ignition ? Why would any rifle manufacturer allow a gun design to be marketed if this malfunction was even remotely possible ? I've owned dozens of semi auto .22 rifles and handguns over the years and all of them have functioned like they...

What is the process for returning the rifle to S&W, if I should need to ? I sent a Model 29 back years ago but the dealer did it for me. Des
