i had bought a model 29-4 classic hunter with the 8 3/8 barrel a couple of weeks ago. it was lightly used and has a great single action trigger and is accurate. during the 2nd range session I've had cylinder binding. could this happen if the yoke screw is not tight? i tightened it after cleaning the gun after the range session
I've had to use the part of my palm under the thumb to press it down or to open the cylinder and close and it will go again but sometimes i had to open the cylinder and move the round to a different chamber.
the cylinder is tight with no front to back movement.
dry firing snap caps it binds when i have the gun pointed up 45 degrees but not always and not if the gun is level.
i called smith and wesson and they sent me a shipping label. I'm not the original owner so i have to pay for the repair. turnaround is 90 days and don't expect a quote till 8 weeks accdg to the rep. would it be better off with a local smith?
i will bring it again to the range with the yoke screw tightened before deciding on the repair.
