I have a S&W model 15-4 experiencing FTF last week. At first I thought it may be my reloads, however now I believe it is the revolver. You guys think the following would cause FTF?
I noticed on my early model 586 there is a very small tension spring between the firing pin and the hammer. The firing pins on these revolvers are mounted on a pivot. The pin on the 15-4 moves freely, the one on the 586 moves under tension from the spring and always returns to the same position. NUMRICH calls it the hammer nose, not firing pin and it is part #48. Part #47 should be the spring, but there is no listing for part #47.
How is the firing pin removed/replaced? I need to get a little spring and insert it on the model 15. I cant seem to locate a part number for this little spring on Numrich, you think S&W can get me one? Is this an easy fix? I am mechanically inclined, but by no means a gunsmith.
