I have no idea what I just watched but I definitely appreciate the amount of precision that goes into making all these parts interact with each other accurately. Definitely appreciate my SW more now.
I learned more in this 13 minute video about endshake and ejector rods than I have in 50 years of shooting S & W revolvers. If you shoot a S & W revolver enough you will get some endshake which is ok, you just don't want too much. How much is too much depends on you and your revolver.
Thank you sir. This video is exactly what I needed. I'm so grateful for you putting this up on RU-vid. I have said shims on the way and this will greatly help me with my learning process.
Wow! I had no idea the amount of tweaking you can do to these S&W revolvers. I just buy them , collect them, and shoot them. This is fascinating . I can't wait to do some basic check-outs on some of my shooters.
My Hero, thank you. I've already purchased most of those tools for my bench, I cannot believe the build quality. Anyone reading this, Power Custom tools will last you a lifetime, period. My 19-4 was in need, and now she runs like new with just a few simple adjustments.
@@GRANDMASTERSGUNS Thank you for your art . From a trained tradesmen. I really enjoy your videos . I've taught plumbing code for over 20 years . You not only know your stuff but you make learning this a fascinating enjoyment . Thanks again.
I’m grateful for people who have mastered the intelligence of mankind. When we watch these skilled hands repairing a mechanical device and the knowledge that goes with these hands is remarkable.
Excellent example of a true gunsmith that knows how to tune up a revolver! Anytime you need this done, and the guy tells you that he does not use shims, but rather to stretch the yoke barrel...........run away! It weakens the barrel to the point that the gun will develop cylinder endshake much quicker.
Beautiful video, Randall. Can you provide link to the yoke alignment tools you used in the video? I sell laser cartridges and have problrms with out of alignment cylinders. I've been directing my customers to your video!
I have a S&W 29-2 (1971 or 72) nickel! TTS. Using the extractor is smooth on 4 of the 6 cylinders (when using the extractor and rotating the cylinder) but sticks open on the other 2. It is not a debris under the extractor problem. All 6 cylinders in time double and single (DA slightly harder on those 2 cylinders), no end shake, really tight everything. I have swapped out the extractor rod, center pin, springs, rod collar, etc., from another N frame that is perfect and I have the same problem. If I slightly loosen the extractor rod everything works fine. I couldn't swap the yoke because I don't have a matching one. I don't have specialized tools but I have a micrometer and couldn't find anything out of round. The only think I can think of is when the extractor rod is tightened there is a problem between it and the extractor. Get a new extractor? Any ideas are appreciated because I love these old Smiths. thanks in advance.
How can I get a socket for the torque wrench? I have two guns that I have to tighten down. Also I found a yoke/crane alignment tool on Brownells a #1 and #2 what is the difference? I would appreciate the help, Thank You
My 500 s&w is not closing anyone knows why that happens my revolver is nearly new I shot about 200 rounds I reload this is my recipe 38gr of H110 behind a 350 plated bullet large rifle magnum primer Seated at 2.185. Anyone knows if I over exceed Max's ?? Thanks 🙏 ..
Thank you Sir. for the awesome content video. 👍 I have a question "I'm a S&W guy" my gun S&W model 16-4 the cilinder shacks left to right/right to left a little bit... is that normal? Because that's my only S&W who does that! And my brother have a colt python and the cilinder don't move!
Great video. I hope that this isn't a repeat question because I thought that I had posted this question earlier. I would like to buy a t-wrench / socket that Ron used to tighten the ratchet end of the extractor. I can't find this on the Power Custom website, nor at Brownells, or Midwayusa. Anybody know where I can get that?
