Any gun Smiths around Puyallup Area???
« on: April 15, 2012, 05:08:44 PM »
I just bought my smith and wesson 44 mag 629 classic a month ago and today when out shooting the gun locked itself. The hammer will only pull back maybe an 1/8 in and the cylinder will not come out. This is really starting to piss me off, 1 month and this happens. Thought smith and wesson made gun products.

and not forget to mention, The two bullets today would make the count up to 21 bullets that i have shot thru the gun so far. I bought it brand new from discount guns in federal way Washington so Hopefully someone can take care of me.

I have sent 4 in all but one were back in my hands in less that 2 weeks. My 329 is getting a full overhaul now so its taking longer to do the anodizng.....I would not worry.

About 2 years ago my son bought a 44 Mag Smith and Wesson. He brought it home to brag about. I think it was called an Alaskan? I checked it out and one of the teeth on the star of the cylinder had a chip. Not just a paint chip but a chunk of the tooth was already chipped off. I asked him if it was used. He said no its brand new. But it also had bluing chips. Might as well call it paint chips the way it looked.

I thought I scanned the cylinder I can't find it now. I called Smith and Wesson and they were really know help at all. So he sold it back to Cabelas. I showed him my cylinder on my Ruger Super Black hawk that who knows how many rounds I shot through it and it look pristine compared to that brand new Smith and Wesson.

I was pretty soured when I saw my sons. I will have to tell him about this.

I'll look around and see if I can find that scan I took. I'll put it up if I find it.

call the customer service number and ask to talk to ken clark. Ken has been my contact, I dunno if he is "the man"....but he gets me taken care of.

Bret Evens is super good and if you can get on his calender than good but most likely he will be too booked to help you.

So I called federal way discount guns yesterday since that is where i purchased the pistol from and they had me bring it in so the gun smith could take a look at it today. Since its still under warranty and it wasn't something that I had done to the pistol they will be having it fixed for free.
