model 29 issue

I BELIEVE I MUST HAVE MESSED UP.WHEN I UNSCREW THE SCREW ON THE TRIGGER GUARD I SEE THE PIN NOT THE SPRING.THE PIN WILL NOT COME OUT.I HAVE TRIED AIR PRESSURE DID NOT WORK TO DISLODGE PIN AND SPRING.I AM PREPARED TO SEND THIS PISTOL TO S&W GUNSMITH DEPT.,BUT IF ANY FORUM MEMBERS HAVE ANY ADVICE I WILL LISTEN
 
Did you try compressed air or Gun Scrubber (brake parts cleaner) from the cylinder stop down?? Can you try a real fine wire (like tag wire) down thru the opening in the frame?
 
I did try the compressed air

thanks for the advise I will try tommorow,and let you know.
 
Do you have a small, slender, magnetic rod?
I've seen long pin point ones (for reaching in sm hole).

Bottom line - be patient and don't get to rough with it

. It sat for 35 years - don't get in a hurry.
 
I WILL LOOK AT THE TOOL SHOP FOR A POINTED MAGNETIC ROD.EVERYONES ADVICE IS HELPING.

THANKS

IF I WOULD HAVE ASKED HOW THE PIN AND SPRING WENT IN BEFORE I PUT IT BACK TOGETHER,I WOULD NOT BE IN THIS SITUATION.
 
I MAGNITIZED A SMALL SCREW DRIVER NO LUCK!ITS GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO THE SMITH.
