Carmoney Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I need some endshake bearings/shims that are big enough to work for a top-break S&W .44 DA. I think these will need to be bigger than anything Power sells. I doubt that Power makes the bearings in-house. Somebody out there has to be making them for various uses, in various sizes. Right? Can anybody point me to a source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay870 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I admittedly know virtually nothing about revolvers but McMaster has a huge selection of shims http://www.mcmaster.com/#round-shims/=cv0y6p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg K Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 David's answer sounds like a good deal. If you are in a rush you could always cut one out of a feeler gage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Great responses guys--thanks! I took Gregg's suggestion and (through the application of highly advanced dremological science) made a surprisingly nice shim from a .011" feeler gauge. Not only did I install it in the gun, but I even had enough time before dark to go out back and shoot 50 rounds of .44 Russian through it. It now has virtually no endshake, the headspace is finally correct, and the gun functions perfectly--notwithstanding the fact that it's about 125 years old! There's just nothing quite like redneck ingenuity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg K Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Get er done! Got it did On your resume you can add professor of dremology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 OK, but I'm spelling it Dremochlogy. (The c and the h are silent.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
