I need a gunsmith
« on: February 06, 2014, 10:38:23 AM »
Does anyone know of a gunsmith who can take a look at my revolver?  Preferably on the Windward side but if not I'll take it wherever.

S&w model 37. Snubnose.

Back Sprays lead when firing. I only shoot SA

I was told its because the alignment is off causing the bullet to hit the side of the aligning cone. Which causes  lead to scrape off and fly back.

I suggest sending it back to S&W, Some customers have sent it back and was a no charge repair! depending on the usage.

Brian at X-Ring can look at it for you. to check the cylinder locking lug.

You will likely send it to Molokai, um, forgot the guy there~  he fixes it.  Fixed mine same problem.

Just called s&w. They emailed me a Fedex label to ship it back. Gonna go that route. A friend told me he sent it back to s&w for one thing and they ended up replacing a a bunch of other parts at no charge.

Yeah I had to send my stuff to a factory certified Gun Smith, Mel Chung? on molokai.  he fixed my revolver for me.

Many of them will replace stuff for you at no cost, saves them time, money and effort.  I've been told that when you send your gun into glock, they basically just drop a whole new set of internals in there for you.
