Does anybody here know about crush fit thread hybrid barrels on late model S&W revolvers? I have a 4” K-frame with an oversized groove diameter & I want to put a better barrel on it. S&W says that they will change the barrel for me (for a pretty penny) but they will not guarantee the groove diameter that I will get. That is just completely unacceptable & since I don’t know any pistolsmiths within driving distance of here that I trust, I think that I am on my own with this one. I’ve been through the Jerry K book & he gives a pretty reasonable description of what to do with a pinned barrel, but the crush fit hybrid that I have just isn’t covered there. Has anybody here been through a barrel change on one of these? If so, can you give me a preview of what to expect?
Thanks,
Jim
