smith and wesson 29
« on: December 19, 2011, 07:54:07 PM »
Many years ago I bought a nickel plated S&W 29
At the time I did not notice that there was a gap between the cylinder crane and frame when it is closed and When it is pushed in there excesive gap between the cylinder and forcing cone. What was done to cause this and is it possible to rectifiy
the first photo shows the gap between the crane and frame

this shows the crane pushed up against the frame

This shows the gap between the cylinder and forcing cone when the crane is pushed in

Thanks

Most likely someone shot too strong a load through it a few times.  How's it shoot now?  If it's poor I'd get a local smith's thoughts looking at it in person.  ;)

They sell little washers that installed will remove the end shake ( forward and rearward movement) that should help with your gap problem. they are not expensive and any decent gunsmith can easily install them. Frank
Google endshake washers and you should find them
