The Cabela's 10-5 has an issue

An update: it was the mainspring

Ordered a Wilson spring kit. Took stocks and side plate off, removed the old mainspring and ??!!?? did Wilson send the right spring? Yes they did, the old one was practically straight in profile compared to the Wilson. In fact the Wilson looked short at first glance. It fit perfectly and the Snubby is smooth as glass, no hitch before the trigger breaks!

Sorry, no picture comparing the two mainsprings.
 
No lock removal here in CT. Pretty much trusting employees function assessment. I don’t understand how they can offer one of there RM’s for 8-12 grand with this policy. Besides that, what’s with all the Rm’s on cabelas site?

Straight spring acts the same as a turned out strain screw. It likely was hitting the hammer like suggested. I think you could bend the original or get a factory replacement and it would be fine as well.

It is a beauty in function now as well as appearance.
