I have no idea what I just watched but I definitely appreciate the amount of precision that goes into making all these parts interact with each other accurately. Definitely appreciate my SW more now.
I learned more in this 13 minute video about endshake and ejector rods than I have in 50 years of shooting S & W revolvers. If you shoot a S & W revolver enough you will get some endshake which is ok, you just don't want too much. How much is too much depends on you and your revolver.
My Hero, thank you. I've already purchased most of those tools for my bench, I cannot believe the build quality. Anyone reading this, Power Custom tools will last you a lifetime, period. My 19-4 was in need, and now she runs like new with just a few simple adjustments.
@@GRANDMASTERSGUNS Thank you for your art . From a trained tradesmen. I really enjoy your videos . I've taught plumbing code for over 20 years . You not only know your stuff but you make learning this a fascinating enjoyment . Thanks again.
Wow! I had no idea the amount of tweaking you can do to these S&W revolvers. I just buy them , collect them, and shoot them. This is fascinating . I can't wait to do some basic check-outs on some of my shooters.
Thank you sir. This video is exactly what I needed. I'm so grateful for you putting this up on TH-cam. I have said shims on the way and this will greatly help me with my learning process.
Excellent example of a true gunsmith that knows how to tune up a revolver! Anytime you need this done, and the guy tells you that he does not use shims, but rather to stretch the yoke barrel...........run away! It weakens the barrel to the point that the gun will develop cylinder endshake much quicker.
I’m grateful for people who have mastered the intelligence of mankind. When we watch these skilled hands repairing a mechanical device and the knowledge that goes with these hands is remarkable.
Beautiful video, Randall. Can you provide link to the yoke alignment tools you used in the video? I sell laser cartridges and have problrms with out of alignment cylinders. I've been directing my customers to your video!
I have a S&W 29-2 (1971 or 72) nickel! TTS. Using the extractor is smooth on 4 of the 6 cylinders (when using the extractor and rotating the cylinder) but sticks open on the other 2. It is not a debris under the extractor problem. All 6 cylinders in time double and single (DA slightly harder on those 2 cylinders), no end shake, really tight everything. I have swapped out the extractor rod, center pin, springs, rod collar, etc., from another N frame that is perfect and I have the same problem. If I slightly loosen the extractor rod everything works fine. I couldn't swap the yoke because I don't have a matching one. I don't have specialized tools but I have a micrometer and couldn't find anything out of round. The only think I can think of is when the extractor rod is tightened there is a problem between it and the extractor. Get a new extractor? Any ideas are appreciated because I love these old Smiths. thanks in advance.
How can I get a socket for the torque wrench? I have two guns that I have to tighten down. Also I found a yoke/crane alignment tool on Brownells a #1 and #2 what is the difference? I would appreciate the help, Thank You
Thank you Sir. for the awesome content video. 👍 I have a question "I'm a S&W guy" my gun S&W model 16-4 the cilinder shacks left to right/right to left a little bit... is that normal? Because that's my only S&W who does that! And my brother have a colt python and the cilinder don't move!
Great video. I hope that this isn't a repeat question because I thought that I had posted this question earlier. I would like to buy a t-wrench / socket that Ron used to tighten the ratchet end of the extractor. I can't find this on the Power Custom website, nor at Brownells, or Midwayusa. Anybody know where I can get that?
My 500 s&w is not closing anyone knows why that happens my revolver is nearly new I shot about 200 rounds I reload this is my recipe 38gr of H110 behind a 350 plated bullet large rifle magnum primer Seated at 2.185. Anyone knows if I over exceed Max's ?? Thanks 🙏 ..

Well done vid. Very easy to understand what has or can happen and how to bring everything back good to go. Thanks for posting.
By far the best video and explanation of yoke and extractor rod alignment. It takes some patience but it works perfectly.
Nothing like having the right tool for the right job. Very interesting video

S&W teaches you at their armorers class that you should stretch the yoke instead of using shims.

Thank you
This Gentleman has a serious skillset.
A wealth of information for revolver lovers...thank you.
Thank you sir.watching all your videos. needed for my 13-1 extractor backing out.
Great lessons from a master gunsmith.
learnt a lot watching this video , thanks for producing this .
Wow!!!! Excellent video!!!
Great video explaining yoke and cylinder endshake
Great video and gun tools, you are the master.
Great video! You're like watching a doctor work... a Gunacologist. or something like that. Awesome! Thanks.
Very well laid out video with tons of useful information.
Awesome video! I still don’t know what you should do if there is excessive cylinder gap after eliminating the cylinder endshake.
A delicate balance between end shake and head space. Theres a finite space between the forcing cone and the breach face..
Finally a guy that knows what he's talking about. Thx
Very well explained. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
WOW! Cool video! That is one Hell of a gadget!
Solid information & video, thank you
This guy is a mastermind.

Welcome
Very educational video. Want to know what is your source to purchase gunsmithing tools?? Specifically the extractor removal tools??
It's their product ;)
What dial indicator is that and where did you get it from? Can't seem to find them anywhere.
WOW!!
You think if I hand tighten the rod it should be ok?
How much does proper fit like this contribute to overall accuracy?
Is that 45in/lbs a dry torque spec or oiled torque spec? I'm guessing dry...
How often does this need to be redone?

Great.....now I'm worried about my revolvers.

I would like to know too. Did you have any luck finding one?
im looking too@@mshehan1552
Good video; any information where to get these py2 shims?
22alexii - you should be able to get those shims from brownells.com or Midwest?
My 500 s&w is not closing anyone knows why that happens my revolver is nearly new
I shot about 200 rounds
I reload this is my recipe 38gr of H110 behind a 350 plated bullet large rifle magnum primer
Seated at 2.185.
Anyone knows if I over exceed Max's ??
Thanks 🙏 ..
where do you get these rings
Tool to torque cylinder is available where?
Well done sir. You can work on my guns anytime partner.
Thank you fins
Our pleasure!
@@GRANDMASTERSGUNS yach brothets.You From!
The cylinder on my smith 29 2 when open slides toward the grip .and is cutting into the frame.what is causing this .thanks
Sounds like the cylinder stop lug is not preventing the cylinder from falling off the yoke when open.
Where can we purchase that exact dial indicator for our fixture?
SANDMAN1996SS Brownells
Where can I obtain inch pound tool?
What is the correct dial Gauge to use with the alignment tool?
I will ask Ron when he comes in today. thanks Angie sorry about your wait.
That monster cylinder release could cover that stupid hole.
i know, u think they would come out with that, i found its best to just buy an older pre lock gun.
Hello
i have a 686 (No Dash) that I want to turn into a 686 +
Can you do the for me?
If so Please contact me
best regards, rick
Have babbitt will travel
This guy is a hack, you need some clearance ! Contact S&W for specs !
