635 PCSO Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 The part that keeps the cylinder from falling from the gun that is a part of the frame is worn. This worn part is allowing the cylinder to fall from the gun when doing reloads. It looks like it is part of the frame. How can I fix this "cylinder stop"? Can I weld using a stainless steel wire in a mig then shae it? Or should I try to use a punch and build this stop up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Chonlatid Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 If that is my revolver. I will weld this stopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I'm guessing this is one of the newer guns with the cylinder stop that is "long" instead of the small round stop? If so, I'd see a smith and have it welded I guess. Maybe your smith can offer some suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 With the old guns it was a staked in part. Send it to the factory or factory trained mechanic and they could do it properly. The new cylinder stops, I dont know.....Give em a call. I have had two replaced on the older guns, 625-2 and a 686-5. Good luck, DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53justice Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I complained about this same problem to S&W on my 625-6. I returned mine every year for 4 years to have a new cylinder put in. The locking recesses on the cylinders kept wearing out after about 2000 rounds. After this last trip they replaced the gun with a -8. I immediately sold it and retired. I have nothing good to say about the new Smiths and am afraid of a law suit if I published what I really think. Joe Justice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
635 PCSO Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 This is a model of 1988, I will call S&W and see what they say. What was the turn around times on the revos you sent to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 With the model of 1988 the thing is removable. It's a short, round stop right? Your smith should be able to just punch it out and replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
