N Frame Trigger Job

[41special]

Any suggestions on a gunsmith that specializes in S&W revolvers tune ups?

Someone local to me in NW Montana that I could drop it off with would be a bonus.

Nobody?

Until something better comes along, you could order a Wilson Combat spring kit and change out 2 springs yourself.

I changed my 625 springs with Wolff ribbed reduced power and a 14lb trigger return. Sweet. I've shot about 60 with 100% ignition. Nothing else needed for that one.
If you have ability to do it yourself give it a go.

Do it yourself.. lots of how-tos on YouTube. I did mine cause I've worked on them for many years... have books in them. But the Videos are very interesting!!!

Nothing tunes the action of a Smith & Wesson like shooting it. That's my opinion, all the polishing occurs exactly where it's needed and there's no unnecessary grinding/honing or accelerated wear. If you can't afford the ammo, get some snap caps and dry fire practice while watching tv, make sure it's unloaded or you'll be buying a new television.

Yes but the internals may need some grease or oil... and the rebound spring is oversprung... and easy to change out.

I have also noticed machine marks on the rebound slide and cylinder stop not to mention the window where the cylinder paw resides. With a stone you can take those out and not have excessive wear on the other parts that did not have any tool marks. No need to cycling the action 1000s of times. Simply cycle and fire it a bit and then pop the hood.. you will see the wear marks.

I sent two back to SW for the "Master Action Revolver Package". Was worth every penny. I thought they did a marvelous job.

Seems most smiths from the factory come bone dry. Doesn't take much to smooth them up. Break them down, clean, and apply a good lube where needed. I prefer a good spring kit myself and will polish a few select areas.

So how much did the new TV cost you?

Actually, I was a firearms instructor and was fortunate to be one of those rare individuals that learned from the mistakes of others. I used a true incident to warn others of the risks. The incident happened with a service firearm in an apartment complex, therefore, it was a reportable incident, requiring an investigation. Fortunately, the tv, the wall and a blemished career were the only casualties, the projectile did not penetrate the wall of the adjacent apartment.

I was just giving you crap. Reminded me of myself setting myself up for somebody to pick on.
Have a great day

I know but before someone feels sympathetic and tries to sell me their old tv, I already have three hand-me-up tv's from my son.
You have a great day also, take care!

You might inquire at Custom Shop, Inc. in Hamilton, MT. I only bought some rare Colt factory grips from them, but liked what I saw from them.

Try some Tri flo first. It does a pretty good job of smoothing an action.

 

[lppd4]

You might try an aftermarket spring kit. I have used one a time or two they are easy to install. made the action noticeably lighter and I have had no ignition problems

Changing springs is not a "trigger Job" Yes, you can reduce trigger pull with a lighter rebound spring, Start changing mainsprings and you can end up with lite primer strikes.
Do not go by the first video! The strain screw is not an adjustment.! Do not pry off the side plate.

Shoot the gun for a while.
