Notes from the gun shop...

Due to the Memorial Day Holiday I worked today instead of Monday. It was a very slow day. Only did a couple of background checks. Not much other business either. No great guns came in. Had some good conversations though! Worked on THE S&W 586 some more.

That is interesting, the hammer hangs up on the rebound slide and won't fully reset. Lewis hasn't figured out what is up yet. How did it come to be this way? Let's just say, "if it works, don't fix it." A previous owner took it apart "just 'cause" and when he put it back together it didn't work. I think he has an incorrect part in it that won't work with the given geometry of the L-frame. Then again, I don't know. Anyhow the current owner bought the gun for $50 and wants to avoid the cost of sending it back to S&W to get it repaired. If it was mine it would be gone and back by now...
