Nice, they're beefy looking handguns! Any issues fitting the barrel or cylinder? I've got a S&W 29 that I've sent in twice to have tightened up that I've got apart to set back the barrel and replace the cylinder and timing parts. The ratchets on the ejector were worn enough that they needed replaced and an oversized cylinder stop was still sloppy in the notches, so new cylinder and ejector rod. Need to thin & likely shorten the oversized hand and fit it as well as set back the barrel to close up the excessive barrel gap and hopefully get rid of some of the errosion. I've fitted the oversized stop to the new cylinder and the frame, so the next big step is making a jig (brownells sells one if I get lazy) so I can turn the barrel in the lathe.

Nice work, sounds pretty involved. 35 years has me beat on about all of my gun projects. At least with the N frames all the parts a fairly easy to find.
