S&W 648-2 Range Report

DS-10SPEED. 1) Those are very high quality photos did you take them yourself? Very impressive. 2) That engraving on your side plate, who did it and what does it represent? I see the 10 chambers but I'm sure there is more to that story. Very cool

Octogun, I took the pictures, I have seen better, but thanks anyway. I did the engraving with my CNC machine using a diamond drag bit. It is a CAD representation of the bottom view of my speed loader design.

This link shows how it was done.

Love those .22 Mags

My . 22 Mags. I feel very fortunate to own four of them. Always on the lookout for special ones as I peruse the LGS. The 650 3" was my last find.

OP- as far as the FTF's:

1. Make sure the strain screw (at the bottom of the front strap) is fully tight.

2. Make sure the cartridges are fully seated when loading the cylinder. Gunk can sometimes prevent tight seating.

If these two items don't correct the problem my suggestion would be to try a Wolff mainspring. IMHO the Wolff Powerbar (or whatever they call it) is a better spring that stock and I have used them on several K-22s that were having ignition problems, including my 48-4.

When I checked the strain screw was not fully seated. After tightening it down the FTF's were greatly reduced. May still try the Wolff spring. Thanks again.
