So, this weekend I went out to run some rounds through my new (to me) 1894CS. .357 Mag worked great, but definately more powerful than what I'm used to shooting. And when I tried the .38 Spc's, no-go. I looked around here on THR and found this very recent thread:

And followed one of the links posted therein to here:

So I took mine apart and noticed I, too, have the "notch" cut into the carrier by the lever.
My specific question involves ordering a new carrier from Brownells. I found it here:
http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/st...tle=CARRIER+ASSEMBLY,+NEW+STYLE&s=21041#21041
Is this the right part (I'm pretty sure it is)? Is this something I can swap on my own? And if I "deburr" the lever where it contacts the carrier, will that ensure reliability with .38s?
Thanks in advance.
