I have a 22/32Target that belonged to my Great Great Grandad. Not sure of the date it was made but he bought it in the late 40s or early 50s. It has been well used in the past 50 some odd years. Lately I have noticed that when I cock the gun slowly the cylinder stops just a few thousands of an inch short of allowing the cylinder hand to set in the notch. but when I cock the hammer fast it works fine.
Anybody know what is going on there?
Before I take Old Gramps to a gunsmith to get overhauled would it be a good idea to take the side plate off and see if the problem could be 50- 60 years of crud build up or should I leave that to a gunsmith?
And the most important question. Who do I have work on it?
Is there any Gunsmiths in east Texas that know how to deal with S&W and what about shipping it to its birthplace in Springfield Mass?
I am a little paranoid about who touches this gun sense there are at least 4 people in my family who will beat me and hang me from the highest oak tree in the county if something happens to it.
