I bought an S&W Mod. 14 amonth or so ago it has an 83/8 inche barrel nice fun gun to shoot. Only problem ya can't open the cylinder. The gun works single or double no problem. So I take to a big gun store in Austin Texas the name is Mac Bride's famous for working on guns. Great and the shop that I bought the gun from is going to pay for the repairs nice of them I thought. This gets better, I took the gun their this pasted Saturday. I was told to call Wednessday, I did so and got the repair shop, and the young man that answered the phone was nice but sure didn't know beans about guns. I told him who I was and that I had dropped off a Mod 14 for repair. He then ask' what is a Mod 14 my heart just fell to the floor. I explained that it was a S&W Mod 14 then he really gets me with this next question he asked sir is that a rifle or shotgun. I am down for the count at this point, I told him no its a pistol. He couldn't find it., I am happeir still, finally I get the gun smith and he tells me its a waitting parts. And by the way I should get a discount on the repair as I figured out what the problem was in the first place. I told him I thought the center pin had worn done but that I didn't see how that could happen. Turns out I was right the center pin was 1/16 of an inch too short according to him. I have own smiths for years and have never heard of the center pen wearing down at all.
Anyhow I should have it back in a few weeks. Strange stoy I know.
