Re: Help me troubleshoot my K frame
Put empty cases in chambers when tightening or loosening the ejector rod.

I tried that, but the locator pins take the torque from the "star" and the star fits the cylinder so well, torque never reaches the shells. Pins and star/recess are near zero play, shells have clearance play. You'd need over-sized tight-fitting shells to accomplish anything toward the purpose.

That's exactly what your preventing. Also not twisting the star's long rod part with key way or flat. The advise is for all years and models.

Re: Help me troubleshoot my K frame
If the cases have required clearance, nothing will apply pressure to the cases due to torque.
1-Insert cases
2-apply torque
3-rotate muzzle up
4-watch cases fall from chambers
If unsized or fired cases do not fall from chambers, it is due to friction in the front two-thirds of the case. The web is still going to have the clearance that will prevent a torqued star from applying pressure to the shell. The star is contacting the recessed area of the cylinder during the torqueing. If torque reaches the shell, the star/cylinder relationship is worn and in need of replacement.Last edited by Bang; January 7th, 2018 at 03:56 PM.

Re: Help me troubleshoot my K frame
I inspected at purchase and everything seemed fine. Function tested everything. Tight lockup. Very slight rotational play in cylinder. No end shake.

Re: Help me troubleshoot my K frame
The ejector rod on my 25 year old S&W loosens up sometimes, I got in the habit of checking it and just tightening it finger tight when it's loose, never seemed like a big deal to me.
