Revolver Newb

Its probably just fine. Worst case scenario its like a 15 dollar part from brownells or midway to replace it.
How is the side of the cylinder?

>>31568867
How do you mean? The stop notches are clean and it looks like a faint line is starting develop on the cylinder.

>>31568372
Looks fine.

It gets dirty . Just clean it.


When it rounds over or is peened, or when the revolver has timing issues , send it to a smith dont try to fix on your own.

What kind of gun is this?

>7 shooter
It's either a 686+ or a 627 of some kind.

The faint line is a good indicator of how many rounds it has seen. If the cylinder doesnt look trashed there is a good chance the internals arent either.
Probably got a lifetime worth of rounds left to chug that there wheelgun.

>>31568372
is that the original ejector?

>>31568372
if they worry you get the part replaced. and for the love of god dont flick the cylinder closed on the new one.

>>31568372
Wow...SW isn't the company they used to be. Those teeth look like shit op.

>>31569166
686 plus
>>31569233
Yes
>>31569285
Noted
>>31569442
That's what I was thinking. Just didn't know if it was the nature of the beast.

>>31569685
I'm going to say no. If that's a new gun...send it back. Revolvers are like watches man. Its old technology but they take serious mechanical timing. Those teeth look like bullshit.

Here's a 586.

I would say S&W quality control is going downhill.

btw anyone know what those little dings around the chamber mouths are from?

>>31569781
I was afraid of this... I hate having to send a new gun back.

how mighty have fallen

Only reason I said that was teeth at 11 and 1 o'clock. Pictures often make things look worse than they are but those two teeth...can you get a different angle?

>>31568372
God that looks like it was machined with a hammer and chisel. If you can't drag a cleaning patch across it without any fibers catching then it belongs in the trash.

Op I was wondering...does the cylinder time up good with the barrel? No marks on the forcing cone?

The part that actually locks in with the gun is the round indent at the back of the teeth, instead of the teeth themselves. This is probably why you aren't having any problems shooting. I'd say replace the cylinder entirely, if the company is willing to do it for you. I doubt you'll encounter failures any time soon, but it's obvious that that part is poorly made.
