    Well, I got it back and it's just perfect. Looks like they even reamed all the chambers to match. I'm very happy.

    Awesome !

    You now have a new again L-frame S&W. In fact, you may have a better than new S&W.

    Thanks for coming back and reporting a follow up. Sounds like S&W did a lot for the $200. Yet another reason why they’re a favorite of mine. Enjoy the heirloom!

    I sent a 1911 back to Kimber for repair of a problem that I caused. No question of warranty. They essentially replaced the barrel and bushing, inspected the entire gun for any further damage and test fired the gun and returned it to me. The total cost including my cost to ship it to them was $335. You got a bargain.

    I don't think they will send your gun back still needing something. The price sounds ok to me. Not every shade tree gunsmith can work on a revolver.

    First that is a good price on the repair so I would not have an issue with that.

    Second they will send it back unrepaired. They will want an inspection fee minimum. A couple of years ago I called on a double action issue on a Smith 469 that I purchased for $175. The tech I talked to claimed the inspection would be free, however, once in hand they wanted $75 for the inspection plus an additional $175 for repair. I said no to this repair since the part was available for $25. They wanted $75 to send it back. Again I said no since I was told it would be free. They said I had to pay for the inspection and their tech was wrong. After about three months the sent it back no charge and not repaired.

    I was under the impression that he already had the gun in hand, repaired.

    I don't blame you for not letting them repair the gun and not paying the ransom,

    I was commenting on the post that they won't send it back without repair.
