My new (6 months) S&W 617 has occasionally had a problem ejecting spent .22 shells. I’d have to push really hard on the ejector rod to get them to come out.
Today, the cylinder started binding after I’d take a few shots as if the spent shells where rubbing against the frame.
I’m not versed in the part names but I suspect that the “ejector star” is somehow misaligned or out of spec. The photo shows how far the shells can go in before they start binding.
I’ll be contacting S&W about a repair but I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this problem. I’m not really sure how to describe it when I talk to them.
