Revolver Questions

[mmattockx]

I have an old S&W Model 10 that was made into a heavy barrel PPC gun many moons ago.

1) The nub on the frame that stops the cylinder from sliding off the crane is worn from many reloads over the years. Occasionally the cylinder will bump past it when I reload. Doesn't seem to affect operation but is annoying. Is there anything that can be done to rebuild that stop or do I just continue being careful when dumping spent brass? I'm not competing or anything, but it would be nice if it was 100% as it should be.

2) The finish is very worn. I wouldn't mind refinishing with cerakote or similar myself, but have no idea where to tear it down to on a revolver. It's no problem on a semi, but revolvers seem to be more finicky to my eye and there are more close fitting parts/intricacies to worry about.


Thanks,
Mark

Somewhere I have a book on handgun disassembly.

Cerakote is pretty thin stuff but you don't want to get it into spaces it shouldn't be in. Best to tear the thing completely apart.

I don't have any cerakote but I do have an airbrush.

Hump can be welded up and reshaped. Lots of videos online about cerakoting. - dan
