Hi all...first thread for me.
I recently found a nice 90% S&W Model 29 and a fantastic, maybe 95-98% S&W M586.
I took them to the range. The M29 is incredible...offhand one hole groups to 15 yards.
The 586, however, just didn't shoot the group I expected. It wasn't bad just wasn't what I expected based on a couple of other 586's I've owned.
I went to clean it tonight and when I opened the cylinder I felt something tiny in my hand. It's a thin shaving of bullet jacket.
To me, this says it's out of time. But, I've never had experience with a revolver being out of time. Anyone had experience? Is that what this is? If so, what's it cost to fix and anyone know know a first class revolversmith in the Pacific Northwest?
Thanks
Mark
