Thanks for the reply. That is what I was afraid of. Probably have to blast it to get it back to normal.

I have a S&W 686 CS - 1 revolver. These have the bead blast finish. I have some shiny spots on it where carrying it has polished the finish. I read awhile back somewhere, where it could be touched up using an abrasive product like scotch brite, sandpaper, etc, but I cannot remember where I...

I am wondering on these revolvers, if you have to have it re blasted to original, what would one do about the laser etching? On these finishes, I read a long while ago about someone using a material to touch up shiny spots from carrying them, to match the original finish, but I cannot remember...

As stated above, they are both PC revolvers. You can get the new one for 900.00 to 1000.00. The new one comes with a plastic performance case. The older one comes with a aluminum performance case. The older ones were going for 1000.00 up to 3500.00, depending on condition. With the...

Thank you for the reply. That is very informative.

I was talking to some friends the other day, and one of them mentioned the fact of having to use moon clips in some 627's. I really did not know that you have to use moon clips in any 627. Can someone fill me in on this. The PC revolvers, like the 8 shot ones, do they take moon clips? Which...

Thanks for that information. That solved the problem.:D

I have a CS40 and when I fire it, it has a definate click in the trigger pull. Any information on this problem? I tried to take it down, but I have only done 45's before. Is the take down the same? Any fixes for this problem? Thanks in advance.

doc540 - Thanks for the information. I will give him a call.

Nice revolvers. Anyone know where I can get a good price on that brand of grips. Very nice.

That is a good point. I read somewhere that the head space should not over .009 and should be between .003 to .006. Is that correct? I am still trying to figure out the whole headspace problem and how it is caused. And the fact of shimming it and what that actually does, (reMoves some of the...

Thanks everyone for the information. Old Fuff - I'll be waiting for your information,

I called Brownells and they could not find the parts. Also checked the web site with nothing found. Anyone have the part number for these? Old Fuff - what tools do I need to ream the yoke barrel and square the end? I called S&W about fixing this under warranty. The guy told me that I cannot...

Thanks, I will try that.

I need some spacers (shims, bearings) not exactly sure what they are called, for correcting endshake on a Smith and Wesson. I cannot find them anywhere. Also, what thickness are they available in? Any information would be appreciated.
