S&W .22 cylinder locking

Op if your finding or maybe have a good stash of 22LR good on you! Here if you don't have a stash you take what you can find, hoping that ends soon.
But if no stash just shoot what you can find. That K22 is a tack driver with the right ammo, I like Federal Gold Medal Target down to my last brick and I can't find any to restock right now.

You own one of the finest 22 target revolvers ever made, the K22. Be sure to thank your pap when you say your prayers tonight. Open the cylinder and look on the frame under where the hinged piece (yoke) was sitting. If you see words like MOD 17 or MOD 17-2 or something to that affect, the gun is a Model 17 made after 1957. If there are no words, just numbers, the gun was made before 1957 and goes by the name K 22.

Be sure the extractor rod is tight. Also look for fouling underneath the extractor star, between the cylinder and the star. Fouling there can cause problems opening the gun. Most of the after market springs that I am aware of are to lighten the hammer pull, so putting an aftermarket spring in will not help with inconsistent ignition.

Did you ask for a new spring when you called S&W? A new spring, and a new strain screw should make everything right.
 
" a old S&W " ?? Good Grief Charlie Brown, that gun is younger than 80 per cent of the forum members.;)
