Nice Nickle plated 29-2---
Pinned, recessed and buggered by somebody who opened the sideplate and fiddled around with the trigger and hammer and mainspring.
Came in with the wrong size rubber grips on it. When I pulled the grip screw, it was possible to see the mainspring through the screw hole. This is not good.
Attempted firing from full cock gets the trigger pushed forward, caught internally by the hammer, a thing which is mentioned in archived posts on this very forum. So I'm a bit worried about internal damage that might be caused by the "trigger job" inflicted on this revolver by a previous owner.
I was going to try and learn the S&W lock by repairing this, but this lock is much more complicated that a Webley or Nagant and it's already way off its base line, which inhibits learning the right way to fix things---so I'm going to have to send it to the factory.
I think it'll be worth it.
