Hey guys I got a well worn (like 0% finish) U.S. issued Smith and Wesson victory model, it's got the firing pin block as indicated by the SV serial # but it seems to have timing issues. The timing issues don't seem real bad just a fraction of a millimeter it seems, it makes me kinda nervous so I haven't fired it yet... I was wondering how do I diagnose what part is causing the issue, I know it could be the ratchets, the hand or maybe the cylinder or cylinder stop. I am by no means a revolver expert, and for all I know a fraction of a millimeter till lock up might be normal for older smiths. I have read that older smiths can be difficult to fix because parts availability, I was wondering if the oversized hands that midway usa sells would fit into a late victory model.
Thanks in advance
