I bought a 686 plus #11760.
Picked it up at the store got it home and started to inspect it.
Only 2 of the 7 of the 7 chambers would let me chamber a bullet.
Whole revolver was covered with small slightly smaller than sand metal shavings. Chambers, barrel, inside the action.
I cocked the hammer and its all over the inside too, thick layer of fine metal shavings.
I called S&W customer services and asked them about it and they said that this is normal and that I am supposed to take it apart and take out all the guts and clean it up before shooting.
I have been shooting and collecting guns for over 20 years.
Is getting a revolver packed full of small metal shavings normal?
