Hey now, let's be all inclusive. Are we a group of Framists here or what?! It's 2017, "exclusion" is unacceptable.Atilla wrote:Very nice. I have a few K frames and I am sure the J, L, and N frames are very similar.
If I won't stand up for I-frames and X-frames, ~WHO~ will stand up for I-frames and X-frames?!
I like to swap brass... and I'm looking for .32 H&R Mag, .327 Fed Mag, .380 Auto and 10mm. If you have some and would like to swap for something else, send me a note!

If you aren't part of the solution, then you obviously weren't properly dissolved.

For those who use Firefox or Chrome, google "photobucket fix" and find that there is an add-in for those browsers that will allow you to see the pictures.

THANK YOU!!!! I installed the fix to my Chrome and now I can see the images.schmieg wrote:For those who use Firefox or Chrome, google "photobucket fix" and find that there is an add-in for those browsers that will allow you to see the pictures.
On the original subject:
During one of the Parties In The Park I won one of the firearms in the drawings.
In my case it was a nice little five shot J frame S&W 442 Heller Decision Commemorative.
Unfortunately it had the infamous S&W integral lock. I bought a lock removal kit and a spring kit to make the gun more reliable and with a lighter trigger pull.
Well, the lock's removed and the hole plug installed and now I need to reassemble the gun.
This thread will be of great help.
Note: I had launched the rebound spring block into a very well hidden place in my basement man cave a couple of years ago and have yet to find it.
Brownell's does not list the block as being a replacement part at all so I thought I was screwed.
Just a week ago I searched the net again and found that Midway stocks them for J frames and ordered one.

Re: Mini-Me's Smith & Wesson Revolver Dissassembly Guide
A long time ago, I found that S&W is pretty good about sending tiny little springs to you at no charge as long as you can identify the spring you need. Don't ask why I needed to find that out.AlanM wrote:THANK YOU!!!!

Re: Mini-Me's Smith & Wesson Revolver Dissassembly Guide
Not a spring, the rebound spring BLOCK.
The little .25" x .25" x .875" piece of steel with a hole drilled down the middle.
Evan calls this part the rebound slide.
https://www.midwayusa.com/product/38907 ... 40-642-940
I must have bought their only one. That now shows "out of stock".
For a LONG time I thought the reason I couldn't find one listed on sites that sell parts was due to it being hand fitted to the gun.
I knew that if I sent the gun back to S&W to be repaired I'd get it back with a new lock mechanism in it, so it's been locked away for quite some time.
The new part is in transit as I type this.
