625 forcing cone, Oh no..

Picked up an Unfired 625-8 Classic (nonJM)

Forcing cone is a bit rough. On the way to S&W. Hope they get it back to me slicked up without setting the barrel back.

Looks like some rifling problems as well. Best of luck

Looks like one of my PC revolvers, only better!
I sent these pictures of my 3.6" CSX E-Series and after a number of communications I was told that it's "just standard machining marks".

Cheers

I’d have fired it first.
The proof is in the pudding. In this case, the targets.

I bought it to resell. I couldn't ignore the forcing cone. (Of course I didn't see it till I got home) Hoping it comes back cleaned up and I can send it to a new home with good conscience.

Bought it to resell... hmmmmm....

I happen to live in a state where FTF sales are still legal without a 4473. If that's what you're thinking.

That and ATF requirements for having an FFL when acting as a reseller. Here in VA, unless it is a close family member, everything has to go through a FFL.
