Tool to torque cylinder is available where?
This guy is a hack, you need some clearance ! Contact S&W for specs !
Good video; any information where to get these py2 shims?
The cylinder on my smith 29 2 when open slides toward the grip .and is cutting into the frame.what is causing this .thanks
Great video! You obviously know what you’re doing.
Very well explained. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Very well laid out video with tons of useful information.
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.
Nothing like having the right tool for the right job. Very interesting 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.
Wow!!!! Excellent video!!!
Thanks
THank YOU that is AWESOME Video I learned ALOT!
You think if I hand tighten the rod it should be ok?
Thank you , Great information. God Bless
Have babbitt will travel
Awesome video! I still don’t know what you should do if there is excessive cylinder gap after eliminating the cylinder endshake.
Awesome Video. very useful information.
By far the best video and explanation of yoke and extractor rod alignment. It takes some patience but it works perfectly.
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.
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.
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!
How often does this need to be redone?
Great…..now I’m worried about my revolvers.
Finally a guy that knows what he’s talking about. Thx
Thank you fins
A delicate balance between end shake and head space. Theres a finite space between the forcing cone and the breach face..
Excellent video!
Now this guy’s gotta southern drawl! I love the south! Where are you from, sir???
WOW! Cool video! That is one Hell of a gadget!
Hello

Can you do the for me?
If so Please contact me
best regards, rick
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
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.
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.
A wealth of information for revolver lovers…thank you.
That monster cylinder release could cover that stupid hole.
What is the correct dial Gauge to use with the alignment tool?
This guy is a mastermind.
Don’t mind paying to have a master gun smith do the job right. That’s their job. Great video.
WOW!!
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!
This Gentleman has a serious skillset.
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…
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?
where do you get these rings
Where can I obtain inch pound tool?
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.
Best video on YouTube
Well done sir. You can work on my guns anytime partner.
