Hi guys,
Newbie here in need of some help. Firstly I am in Australia so a bit behind the eightball when it comes to guns. I purchased this old girl as my first S&W Revolver, 586-2 1987 version. I noticed the cylinder was a bit sticky to swing out so I looked up google and did a bit of a strip to clean it up. It was in a mess full of old oil and gunk, anyhow after a through clean I was reassembling it and noticed a small part was missing. It is called a gas ring, part # 306810 in the exploded parts picture. I am having a lot of trouble sourcing one in OZ, I contacted S&W in USA and they can’t sent parts to us over here, also they don’t seem to carry the part anymore either. As far as I can see it is just a small ring about 1/4” across so why that can’t be exported is beyond me, hell it is only a little bit of metal. Anyhow I don’t suppose anyone had wrecked one of these revolvers or has the part they want to sell?
Please feel free to message me if you can help.
