Got it back



The grips look good?  They had to be fitted a little, the grips stuck out too far at the 'back strap'.

Also, the timing is now good.  Never buy an S&W revolver unless it times on every cylinder.  That means the pawl underneath engages the notch in the cylinder in double action before the hammer drops.

And... just for giggles he smoothed up the trigger.  Like buttah!

Those are cool grips, looks like G10 or Micarta.

Can you share more info on them?

I've got a couple sets on 1911s, didn't know they did wheel guns too.

Thanks for the info!

FYI my 617 at some point lost time on two of the 10 holes...maybe it was three...

Either way, if you buy a smith, check the timing, and if it's out of time demand a discount....then send it back to Springfield and they'll fix it for free!
