Long time listener, first time caller. Recently I acquired a model 10-14, the previous owner shot a squid load and unknowingly fired another load behind it. The squid was lodged in the barrel resulting in catastrophic failure. Long story short it split he barrel but after removal of the barrel is has also split the bottom of the threaded portion on the frame. how hard is it to acquire a "stripped" frame/receiver? I know I've found quite a bit of barrels. But no luck on a frame. If they're unobtainable is it possible to ship the handgun to S&W directly for repair? I'm not expecting this to be covered by warranty, I'm very willing to pay for repair. Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
