S&w 4506

[ChuckC]

I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the smithy topic, but...

I bought a used 4506, test fired it at the indoor range etc. When I got it home the first thing I did was field strip and clean it. When I was reassembling it I had a bear of a time getting the break down pin back in. Turns out it was the nipple at the end of the break down pin and the "spring" clip just ahead of the grips that were not working or playing well together. Is there a cure for this?

Other than that one issue I'm very pleased with it.

Is the plunger spring broken or gummed up? I haven't had much trouble in this area. Hope you get 'er going soon. -7-

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure what the plunger spring is or where it can be found.

The recoil spring is good to go. Finger test on the extractor/ejector and other frame springs were IMO ok. I'm trying to contact a local smith to have a few of my hand guns checked out so I will just add this one to the list. It needs a good bead blasting anyway.
