Description
The S&W Revolvers: a Shop Manual, New Expanded 5th Edition by Jerry Kuhnhausen is the only gun book that covers in detail the traditional pre-war/post-war S&W hand-ejector models, and basically traditional S&W numbered models made through 1996.
Also includes data on the non-traditional, post-1997 MIM (powdered metal component) S&W revolver models.
The new edition features an abundance of new digital photos, principle and sectional illustrations, instructional drawings, as well as information on pre-war, post-war, and numbered model S&W revolversmithing.
Covers all the common problems from cracked frames to poor timing and excess endshake. Tells you how to do custom work like adding a crane locking ball and even goes through polishing and rebluing. There are full, step-by-step disassembly instructions complete with “how-to-tell-what’s damaged” info. Includes discussion of post-1997 MIM (metal injection molded) parts.
The step-by-step instructions cover troubleshooting & problem solving; parts inspection; parts fitting and replacement; barrel replacement; complete repair, and tuning.
