So my new 686-6 came today, did a pretty thorough inspection.
First the good:
Barrel looks straight, no can't.
BC gap is .006, Crown looks nice
No detectable end shake, Lock up is tight
The Bad:
Trigger is lacking, I thought the Smiths were suppose to have the best triggers
Single is #5 5oz and double is #11 12oz, creepy and really stacks.
Next, all the chambers measure uniform but are way to small.
In the pic the cast boolits are .358, the plated bullet is .357, I can not force them in the chambers.
With the calipers the chambers measure .355
I have some 9mm boolits that measure .3555 and are a perfect finger press fit.
With Calipers the Muzzle measures .353
Don't want to send it to S&W.
I will do the trigger myself, however is it Doug Guy that does cylinder work?
Would you try to shoot it as is ?
