S&W revolver problem

[lunicy]

I have a 686 revolver. It works fine pointing down, pointing up it jams up. I believe the "hand" (the thing that rotates the cylinder) isn't staying in place. Anybody have any ideas. Is it possible I'm missing a part? Something not installed correctly?

This gun was given to me in this condition. It isn't worth much, so I won't pay a smith.

Pull the side plate off and see if the hand torsion spring is in place. Pictures here:

Lots of other good info in that thread as well.

A 686 not worth much??

lunicy,

If you just flat don't wanna mess with it, and the link imashooter2 provided doesn't help you any?

I'd be happy to talk turkey about how much you'd sell it to me for.

I'm gonna tinker with it some, but if I get bored with it, I will contact you. This thing spent some time in a flooded basement, it aint pretty.

lunicy,

Thanks, I've sent you a PM. Feel free to either PM me here, or call me at the number I sent you.
