I recently bought a used Smith & Wesson Model 14 in 38 Spl. I took it to the range to shoot it and had a few misfires. It was evident the gun had had a trigger job (2-1/4 lb. SA). I took it to my 'smith and he put a new mainspring in it. I thought this would fix the problem, but it didn't. My load is as follows:
38 Spl.
148 gr. DEWC
3.7 grs. W231
CCI 500 SPP
The first thing I thought of was high primers, I checked and the answer was NO. The screw at the front of the trigger guard was also tight. Out of 50 rounds I fired today I had 6 misfires. I tried them in my other 38 and they fired just fine. Any suggestions? I am going back to my 'smith tommorow to see what he thinks. Is there anything I should tell h8m to check?
Thanks in Advance
