I picked up a nice used S&W 686 (no dash) yesterday. I noticed that the hammer nose (firing pin) was loose unlike the one that snaps into position on my Model 28.
I was able to order a hammer nose spring from Numrich but......I don't know how it fits in? Does anybody have a photo or diagram? The one on Numrich's Website calls out the part but it's an exploded diagram and way too small to read.
Now for the dumbest question today. The Rivet that holds the hammer nose in the hammer is also loose. It pushes out from 1 side very easily. Once I replace the spring......what is the trick to expand the little rivet so it won't want to slide out?
I defintely have S&W Revolver Fevor!
Thanks!
