S&W mdl 36-1 problem

[notsofast]

Hello everyone, I have a 36-1 that I can with pressure rotate the cylinder in the closed position. The ejector rod is not straight and the cylinder release button is a bit hard to push forward. I'm not capable of fixing this but would appreciate hearing opinions of what's wrong and where to send it. I bought it cheap knowing that some problems existed and I'd like to start using it. Thanks

That could be a lot of things, but hard to know where to start without the gun on the bench. If you're above ground near a forum member, they might be able to help.

Does anyone know a good revolver smith in that area?

Straighten or replace ejector rod and align yoke then diagnosis from there. If you can find an armorer in your area they can make the necessary repairs and replace parts.
