I picked up a used 10-8 from AIM surplus a few years ago. It was a well used and somewhat abused. When the cylinder is opened the cylinder slides back and forth on the yoke more than my other S&W revolvers. Is there a way to correct this?

| Hold the cylinder while turning the ejector rod. I might be working out. I forget if clockwise or counterclockwise. |
So... I find comfort in the fact that if Trump has to work so hard to go to Heaven, then there is a shit load of Democrats that have no f-cking chance to go anywhere but HELL. Sometimes it is entirely appropriate to kill a fly with a sledge-hammer.

The problem is with the frame lug. That's what stops rearward cylinder movement. That's the small lug on the lower corner of the cylinder window on the frame. The lug is either badly worn or someone altered it. The lug is riveted into the frame from the inside with a rounded center punch. You can buy lugs or just make one from rod stock with a lathe. Pretty much all "K" frame, center fire revolvers used the same frame lug, either blued or stainless. https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/300850 |

The old one has been removed and a new one has been ordered. Thanks.
