Nah he said he doesn’t want to mess with the timing - he builds stuff alright but did t want to tinker on the timing of a smith.

When was the gun manufactured? Heavily used?

If it's relatively new and low mileage, Smith should cover that under warranty.

You need a new HAND. Midway has video on it. They wear out every now and then, and it is normal for them to do so.

I replaced one in my HighStandard revolver. It took several hours for me to do it….
