Good evening folks!
I've recently inherited a Smith and Wesson Model 1905 in 38spcl manufactured in 1929. It has quite a bit of finish wear, but the cylinder timing is perfect. The only real issue with it, is a lose barrel that will wiggle when pressure is put on it. I want to get this revolver back into shooting condition if possible, but have no idea where to begin on tightening a revolver barrel or if it's even possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS - Called S&W directly, but they only work on firearms manufactured after 1958.
