Sees Sights Lift

Sees Sights Lift (7/11)

  1. I saw that too on my computer but it works on my phone. The google search says temporarily closed but he was able to order them this morning.
  2. Check out Neumount. My dad bought one from him for his DWX and just ordered 2 more for a couple shadow 2's. An old buddy of mine used one on an original P226 X-Five and loved it.
  3. When I've had grouping issues, one of the guns the mount screws on the frame were loose enough to allow the mount to move up and down on recoil. The other time the barrel was chambered deeper than the ammo was. I stretched out the ammo from 1.110" to 1.170" and the grouping tightened up. Other than that I'd agree with the above and check the barrel link contact.
  4. I ended up trying out swapping the hammer from my 617 into his. Checked sear engagement with the side plate off and everything moved smoothly. Put it all back together and it cycles nice and smooth. So I guess I'm going to order a new hammer for him and hopefully get this thing up and running like it should again. Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
  5. I’m going to give this a go tonite and see what happens.
  6. I just tried this again with the strain screw barely tightened to not put too much pressure on the pins. I can visually see the sear "bump" the hammer as you say right as it hits the "wall". So I would assume that would mean that either the hammer or trigger or both are either out of spec or one of the pins are bent. Now my question is, would it be acceptable practice to swap out another hammer and sear from a known good 617 to experiment just for testing purposes with dry fire only? Or should I just have him get a new set fitted?
  7. I tried this method of dry firing with the cylinder open and the problem persists. So I assume it is something within the internals. I guess back to S&W it goes. I am not comfortable with doing anything further with this one. Thanks for the advice. I am going to try a different main spring as mentioned above to see if it may be a spring issue.
  8. To add, when pulling the trigger to stage it for the next shot, at about 1/4 pull it hits the wall. There is no slowly pulling it to the break it just snaps by and drops the hammer. I’m going to try to get a video of it this afternoon and find a site to host it on and link it here.
  9. Was thinking it probably has something to do with the hand but I can honestly say I would have no clue where to start with that. It is a ten shot and it’s a newer model with the lock. Everything else that I’ve looked at checks out fine. The hand does have a narrow area at the top and where it engages the cylinder does have some what looks to me like abnormal wear. I may suggest that he send it to S&W or find a good revo guy around our area to check with.
  10. I'm working on a friends 617 just doing the normal polish and cleaning up the internals to smooth out the trigger a bit. Before doing any work to it the trigger has an extremely hard break. When pulling the trigger as soon as the cylinder stop moves down the cylinder snaps to the next position. When it does this the trigger feels like its hitting a wall. If you back the strain screw way out it cycles thru just fine. I've gone thru and checked everything and there is nothing binding when there is no spring pressure. But as soon as the screw is turned in it starts to get hard to pull again. Single action has no issue and when you pull the hammer back manually there is no binding or anything. Everything appears to be lined up properly. The cylinder spins free and doesn't bind at all when the internals are removed. Now I'm kind of stuck. I've worked on quite a few smiths including 4 or 5 617's and have never encountered this problem. Any ideas before I have him send it back to S&W or to a good revo smith?
  11. You'll have to venture to the eastern side of the state. Sprague Rod and Gun holds pin shoots first and third Sunday of the month all year outside. And if theres a fifth Sunday we do rimfire pin tops.
  12. I shoot with Squirrel45 and also use a v comp for pins. 230gr bear creak with 6.7 gr of blue dot. Makes about 207PF and clears them off the table no problem. We have 5 pins in a V on a 3x4 foot table and have no issues clearing them even when they get heavy.
  13. That’s exactly what was happening when the mount loosened up. But if it’s all tight then obviously not the issue
  14. Check the screws that hold the dot mount to the frame. I had the exact same issue with my sons open gun and the screws loosened up a bit and the mount was rocking.
