@arg2761 Do you know anywhere I can get parts for the revolver? my firing pin is broken and I can't find anyone selling them and the cylinder moves slightly when cocked, any thoughts as to why that happens and how to fix it? thankyou
Try S&W Forum, section "S&W Hand Ejectors: 1896 to 1961". Somebody is bound to know about parts.
Try searching for Numrich.
Last resort, try a local gunsmith.
Is the cylinder moving rotationally? I'll send you a pic of the part that locks the cylinder when the gun is cocked. I don't know the name of the part.
Are those frame & barrel jigs something you made yourself, or are they available at somewhere like Brownells? I've got one like yours with a bulged/cracked barrel, and I just bought a replacement 6" barrel for it. I'd love to get it fixed, but hiring a 'smith to do the work just might cost me more than I paid for the gun.
I followed your thread here from the Smith and Wesson forum in which you refinished the slide on a Sigma. Nice work of both, this video is great. I enjoyed watching all the steps in the disassemble and reassembly of the revolver. Fantastic job on the revolver.
Wow, Beautiful restoration job on that old Smith. Great video too, loved the Western music. I noticed during one part of the process you had a third hand--Something every mechanic needs!;)
nice work

Nice job guys. How is the finish holding up? I figured it would probably be scratched under the cylinder release. I hope not.

We made it ourselves. We used a tool to make profiles (Home Depot special), a small block of hardwood, small bandsaw, small round file, and time.

Thank you. I am not sure about that third hand...it must be an artifact inserted during " video editing". ;-)
