My S&W 686-3 Classic began misfiring at the range Friday. Took a minute to recognize the cause. The top rear of the hammer nose was missing a small piece and allowing the hammer nose to raise catching the top of the frame on each drop of the hammer . The few that did strike the primer left a very slight depression in the primer but not enough to ignite the primer.
Parts are on order with Brownells along with a Kuhnhausens manual on the Smith Revolvers. Any foresight/hindsight tips as to replacement of the hammer nose and rivet or is it a pretty simple job?
