Seems like you should have shot it first to verify that it was repaired, now you have no way of knowing?? Was this a performance center gun? Be Safe,

Did you read what I said? I said:
I will put a couple hundred rounds through it the way it is to verify the failure to carry up problem is solved. After that, I think I'll sell it.
I didn't change anything. I just took the parts out, inspected them, and put them back in. It's completely dry inside too, no lube, and I left it that way.
I read what you said, you took the parts out, so if it does not work or has another problem you are back to square one. If it has a problem ( I hope that it does NOT ) make sure you tell S&W you took it apart first before shooting it. Good Luck,
do you really think he would tell them... It's obvious how he got to this point to begin with....

They threw the kitchen sink at it due in part to the modified parts.

You aren't a gunsmith, you modified the gun, had a problem with it, sent it to S&W, they fixed it, and now you're complaining.
Just another day on the internet.

I'm with the OP on this one. I don't think by disassembling and reassembling the gun he violated any of the integrity of the S&W repairs.

Wrong:He had made some modifications, he sent it back to S&W for repair, they repaired it and he took apart again before firing it. True he said he did not change anything, problem is he compromised the integrity of their repair without testing it. He Should have tested it with his ammo, ruled out any failures, then he can take it apart, put whatever he wants in it, if he then has a failure he can look at which part he put in ( rebound spring) replace it with the original if it works then the spring he replaced it with was too light/heavy and he can go about modifying his gun. If he has a failure to fire now the question becomes did S&W fix it or did he assemble it incorrectly? I do not know his skill level and I am not questioning his knowledge, but now if it does not work correctly he is back to his starting point. It is usually best to try to rule out one problem at a time if it's a gun,car,plumbing. I do not care what he or anybody does to their gun for what they believe may be an improvement, it is not up to me, but do not complain about their service when you do not test it before you alter it. (taking it apart) Be Safe,
