Went to a local gunshop yesterday looking to buy another gun. Came across a real nice Smith model 18-3. Gun was near perfect in finnish and the barrel was perfect. So I started to swing out the cylinder and it turned when it shouldn't have.
I got the cylinder open and notice the face had dimples where the fireing pin has struck it. Closeing the cylinder it would still turn. The gun was broken and out of time. So I tell the clerk and got a thankyou and they pulled the gun off the shelf.
Guys look them guns over with great care. Buying a broken gun can get expensive.
