I have a older 1980's era J frame stainless S&W 686 in MAG that over spins after 3 or so quick shots (bang-bang-bang-click). Checking after the failure reveals that the cylinder has over spun and is between rounds, so the pin has missed the primer. It is consistent, and doesn't appear to be related to a particular hole in the cylinder. It happens clean or dirty, hot or cold, cloudy or sunny. Also, I only shoot factory loads, and it happens with multiple brands as well. It never does this during slow fire, only quick/rapid fire.
From reading similar postings, I'm thinking timing issue, but I don't have the foggiest on how that would be addressed.
I would like to try and fix it myself. I don't shoot this gun often, but it is sentimental (my first gun purchase with my own $$), and I would like it to be fully functional. Also, I would like to start doing this type of stuff myself, as I am getting back into guns/shooting after a long hiatus (It's easier to make time to play with your toys when your wife has decided to get her CHL and going the team).
Any suggestions on resolving this?
Thanks,
Adon
