    Normal barrel \cylinder gap on s&w revolvers is .006. Any less and the cylinder will bind during rotation with a slight bit of dirt. Any more and you'll lose velocity and have abnormal flame cutting off the top frame. Larry Potter field is the man !

      Some were set as low as .004 from the factory. But as you said, anything less than this is not a good idea because carbon from firing can cause it to bind, and likewise with too much you get flame cutting and lead spitting. IIRC S&W says anything past .010 is out of tolerance.

    Cylinder end shake is very common once a double action revolver has been broken in. Nothing wrong by putting in the shim to solve the problem: most likely it will never occur after this has been done as the steels of the pistol have compressed and hardened from recoil. Of course if your firing low recoil ammunition this may not occur in the first place, My model 29 Had a shim placed after 300 rounds of .44 Magnum rounds and after over 6000 rounds is still tight as a tick.

    • @Full_Otto_Bismarck
      @Full_Otto_Bismarck Рік тому +2

    • @heaven-is-real
      @heaven-is-real 4 роки тому +10

      Depends on the gun manufacturer and the bullets being used. Looks like Larry Potterfield is using ( .010" slop ) - (.006" worth of shims) = (.004" gap) between barrel and cylinder in this example. I just watched a video of a barrel change that set the gap to ,006" for a Dan Wesson revolver. Between .002" and .006" is ideal unless you shoot the non jacketed lead bullets and in that case they go as high as .011" for older guns. For a wide range of bullets .006 is ideal. For mostly jacketed bullets .004". If it is too tight you can have overheating. Colt gaps on the tight side, and S&W on the loose side.

    • @gaspointknives
      @gaspointknives 7 років тому

      This is what I am thinking also. It appears as though he is shimming the cylinder back away from the forcing cone. This means he will have a .006" gap and .004" of shake. On further research I read that you do not want cylinder to barrel contact you always want some gap, in the video Larry states the cylinder contacts the barrel when pushed forward. This shimming will eliminate this contact and lessen the front to back movement.

    • @garyK.45ACP
      @garyK.45ACP 6 років тому +2

      You are correct. The shims force the cylinder to be pushed back. The other way is to use a "yoke stretcher" available from Brownell's. This device... which looks like a tubing cutter, but doesn't cut...slightly lengthens the yoke and then it is faced off with the yoke reamer to achieve the correct gap. It is preferred to the method shown in this video IF this method will result is excessive cylinder gap when completed. In the video shown, the remaining cylinder gap would be .004" which is actually a bit tight, so the bearings (shims) are usable in this instance. Measure the cylinder endshake. If adding the bearings (shims) to correct the problem result in a gap exceeding .006" then it is best to stretch the yoke and face it off with a reamer.
      Endshake is common in S&W revolvers but easy and inexpensive to fix. As a collector, finding a little endshake has saved me hundreds of dollars in negotiating prices and I have fixed it in perhaps a dozen revolvers in my collection. Always nice to be able to negotiate $100 or so off the price and fix it in a few minutes at the work bench.

    • @petergraham3495
      @petergraham3495 5 років тому +2

      No matter how you reduce the end shake you cannot reduce the maximum cylinder gap which in this video will remain at .010. All that is being achieved is a minimum gap of .004 which will very quickly increase to .010 when the cylinder recoils against the recoil plate on firing. Reducing end shake only reduces the forward movement. i.e the gap will still be .010 when the cylinder is pushed towards the rear of the gun but will only be .004 when pushed towards the barrel because bearings/shims .006 were fitted to the front of the cylinder. To reduce cylinder gap the barrel needs to be fitted further into the frame which is not easy or cheap.

    My Taurus 44 has about .012 space between forcing cone and cylinder when cylinder is not on lockup. when on lock up it has about .008. I was wandering if this is close to normal.
    Also by adding the bearings does it help with cylinder lockup space? Also, this seems kinda crazy, but when you add the bearing spacers it seems like it would put the cylinder farther away from forcing cone.
    Thanks for you help.. I can't really find any other videos about fixing the problem of too much space between forcing cone and cylinder.

  • @STBRetired1

    Is your check for "endshake" the same test as when you lockdown the cylinder and check for the gap between the cylinder and the barrel? In lockdown mode, the hammer is cocked and released but the trigger is held in the "just fired" position. Is there a difference between checking in lockdown mode and in your method?

    Hello there. I hope someone can help me out here. My Model 17 22LR has problems getting the cylinder to fully rotate into place. So I'll be pulling the hammer to cock it, but all off a sudden the cylinder locks up and I have to help the cylinder to rotate fully by hand. Same thing happens when I try to fire double action. The cylinder locks up about halfway through, and I can't pull the trigger further. Weirdly, this only happens when the cylinder has ammo in it. The cylinder rotates just fine when pulling the hammer without any ammo in the cylinder. The cylinder does have some play back and forwards, and it seems to almost touch the barrel. If I shine I light through I can still see a very tiny space beteeen the cylinder and barrel. Should I take it to a gunsmith?

      That would cause the cylinder to be too tight (only .002" of gap remaining) and would likely result in binding. The resulting gap here (.004") is the minimum recommended, if I remember correctly (.004 to .007 or something like that).

      ​@@douglasroyce5631if you keep moving the cylinder forward then eventually the headspace gets too big and you have light strikes. Layman's terms the gap at the rear of the cylinder gets too big.
      So what you want to do is still set the cylinder as far back as needed using the shims and then measure the new maximum cylinder gap. Hold the cylinder tight to the rear while loaded with snapcaps (NO live ammo) and use the shim gauge to measure the maximum gap between cylinder and forcing cone.
      The maximum cylinder gap for most brands of double action revolver is .010" if yours exceeds this after shimming the fix is the barrel will need pulled and the shoulder of the barrel cut down the corresponding thousandths of an inch to subtract from that .010" or larger cylinder gap. Then the barrel is reinstalled.

Endshake is now reduced by .006 to .004, which means that flash gap can now “shake” between .006 and .010 if the hand doesn’t hold the cylinder firmly forward (which is much better than zero to .010).

    • @chazbotic
      @chazbotic 5 років тому +1

      the ideal gap is the least distance that would allow the loaded cylinder to rotate freely without binding during firing. as the diameter of the bullet is fixed, the only way to fire heavier bullets is with increased length. some efficient powder combinations can allow seating a bullet a little deeper in the case, but this may not be safe for a particular bullet/powder combination. the solution is to then adjust the cylinder gap. for most factory revolvers it is between 0.002 and 0.006, with 0.005 and 0.006 being more common on factory S&W as a "forgiving" gap, and the tighter 0.004 seen on Dan Wesson's and the Colt Python (for example). 0.00215 to 0.00245 is the spec for Korth.

    • @garyK.45ACP

      The clicking is the transfer bar safety. Do a test. Make sure the gun is empty. Cock the hammer and pull the trigger and KEEP the trigger pulled to the rear. Shake the gun. There should be no "clicking". When you release the trigger, the "clicking" will return. If that is the case, perfectly normal. Endshake...there MUST BE some gap or the cylinder would not rotate. With a new gun there should be no problem. You can measure the gap with a feeler gauge. If it is within Ruger specs...no worries.

      +Gene Alford I recommend you check out the Dan Wesson forum, it could be a spring problem, grip screw too tight, etc, I'm no expert but there's plenty of people there for the Dan wessons with lots of knowledge.

    If the gap was originally 10 thousandths, and 2 plus 4 (a total of 6) thousandths were added, the remaining gap would not be, 6 thousandths nor 2 thousandths . . . .

    I didn't understand the use of the dummy rounds in this fix. Maybe I'm a dummy

    • @jimdent351
      @jimdent351 4 роки тому +6

      The dummy rounds keep it from twisting the rod and damaging the extractor or breaking it. That torquing action to loosen the rod will transfer down the length of the rod.

      Thomas Laux Sure why not? You aren’t modifying the gun, you’re fixing it.

      Because Colt uses a different method of attaching the cylinder to the yoke which is less prone to excessive endshake. It is not because it is a Python, it is because it is a Colt. On the other hand, Colts (including Pythons) CAN develop the same problem and it is far more difficult to fix. You have to remove the barrel, re'cut the barrel shoulder, re-thread the barrel and set it back (usually) 1 turn then face off the end of the barrel inside the frame to the correct B/C gap and re-cut the forcing cone. While it is less common, fixing a Colt will cost you a LOT of money and require a skilled and equipped gunsmith. S&W is easy and can be done by a DIY gun enthusiast.

      Too little and the action isn't gonna rotate very smoothly because the gun is excessively tight.
