Hello all, a number of years ago I acquired a Dan Wesson 44mag revolver that was in need of major repair. For the most part it was in pieces and the bluing was 99% gone and rust had started to destroy it. I have since had it cerakoted and she looks amazing BUT I am having HUGE issues with getting the trigger parts back into the revolver. Every time I think I got it....I dont. The 'smith that cerakoted the revolver had it for months as he accepted the challenge to get that trigger assembly together. He gave up. I am wondering/hoping one of you fine folks can direct me to a 'smith that has more patience and skills to tackle this beast. Would be a shame to have it sit in my safe and never see the range again :(
 
The small frame 357 mag had side plate like a smith, 44mag does not, different action to a smith. The small frame is simple to work on, easer than smith.
The large frame is a whole different thing, the action is the same, but putting it together is tricky, but not hard if you work on them a bit.
The problem is getting the hand and the transfer bar to go in the right place, can drive you nuts.
kind of like guys don't clean ruger MK 1-3's because they can't make it work after they take it apart; but if you know where the bits are suppose to go , not that hard.

Contact Murray Charlton (he is the S&W guy in Canada). Should be able to help you out I would think - would not think the internals would be that different from other revolvers?
