Cherokeewind Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 If you had a Smith that needed the timing adjusted, who would you chose to do the absolute best work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ysrracer Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Plenty of guys can do it. Pinnacle, Mojo, TK, Will Ohara... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecmc Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) In my opinion the two guys doing the best work currently are : Eli @ www.tkcustom.com Dave Olhasso @ www.olhasso.com Edited December 28, 2020 by alecmc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJones Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Adjusting timing in a smith is something that most local gunsmiths should be able to handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherokeewind Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 This is one of the new S&W revolver kits..........you know......... all the parts are there, just not assembled with the care that was once taken for granted. After one of the local guys installed a new hand, two of the chambers are still a bit slower than I like. Peening the ratchet is an option but that's not the "elegant" solution that I want.

I still occasionally have to fix low mileage Smiths from the 70's & 80's that left the factory with problems. People forget that the guns from the "good old days" are only better because they've all been fixed already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherokeewind Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 I said careful assembly was once taken for granted, I didn't say that it always happened And, in the interest of full disclosure, I have some older Smiths that prove it didn't always happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Thunder Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I have total confidence in TK. They've done work on a couple of my S&W carry revolvers and I couldn't be happier with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
