If the sideplate is loose, stuff will break....and will have to be repaired. What we show is what you need to learn, not a tutorial. If you do not posses the skills to perform at this level, do NOT attempt. Support us: / anvil

To clarify; I did NOT drill a alignment/dimension critical hole by hand. The drill was used to loosen a broken insert, revealing a precision hole previously drilled by the manufacturer. We were very careful not to disturb this.

Mark said, he was going to rust blue the revolver when he was test-firing it in the rain. I do rust bluing and it typically doesn't come out to mirror finish however, the rust blue finish is more durable than the Smith & Wesson finish.

I bought a 99% Model 29 (no dash) not too long ago, so watching you drill through the frame was cringy as hell. Had to do it though! Your engineering change to use the threaded pin and leave those plate bushings intact made so much sense. Thanks

I always wondered how those studs were installed. Were they milled as part of the frame? That would be very difficult, so your replacement makes total sense now that you've shown how it's done. Now we know! Thanks!

@stewcarew4943 3 жыл бұрын

The studs are brazed in. They are pressed in and stick out of the other side,a small ring of brass is put on each one and then the frame goes through an oven to melt it. The frame and studs are killed flush.

@keithdaniels5918 2 жыл бұрын

I had that happen to a M29 once about 1986/7…..sent it back to S&W to repair. Revolver had well over 5000 full power rounds through it and was really smooth from that wear. It came back stiff as a new gun and appeared to have been reblued.

As always I love watching Mark carry out work that others are afraid of. The truth of comments around precision is that there is always a means to get it humanly correct which is a lot of time all that is needed. Mass produced pistols always have the mystique of terms like hand finished custom fit and bedded etc. But in reality there is always tolerances involved and a careful human can can achieve these with due care and attention with what are basic tools as mark so often does. If you dont dare you dont win !!

@@panzerabwerkanone The Saturn V and Apollo spacecraft was all metric... It was designed by German engineers. The Space Shuttle used inch measurements... The British and American inches were different until 1959 when they both agreed to use a metric definition of an inch of 25.4mm (yes the current inch is a metric derivative unit and in the American case has been since 1897). That is also why the American Survey Foot is a different length to a regular foot. The British Legal inch was slightly shorter than the American inch. The Enfield inch was slightly longer than both (Hence 0.303 when 0.300 was ordered).

I used to do warranty repairs for S&W back when there was money in it. I would have counseled returning it to the factory for this repair. I'm sure Mark knows the "You Touch It, You Own It Rule." Particularly the liability factor on this doomed weapon. Nuff said.

@derekp2674 3 жыл бұрын

I think Mark said he was only deviating from the "return to S&W" procedure because he owned the firearm in question. I guess this one must have seen a lot of use to wear out the trigger pivot that way. I had a Model 14 as my "most serious" centrefire match revolver from about 1980 until 1997 and must have put several thousands of rounds through it over those years.
