To clarify; I did NOT drill a alignment/dimension critical hole by hand. The drill was used to loosen a broken insert, revealing a precision hole previously drilled by the manufacturer. We were very careful not to disturb this.
Mark said, he was going to rust blue the revolver when he was test-firing it in the rain. I do rust bluing and it typically doesn't come out to mirror finish however, the rust blue finish is more durable than the Smith & Wesson finish.
We just got to watch Mark work on his own gun and he didn't half ass it like the rest of us would have. Oh, and you have to respect a man that is his own drill press
" I know what you're thinking..... Did he fire five shots or was it six? Are you feeling lucky punk? Well are you!?" Great content Mark! Thank you sir.
I bought a 99% Model 29 (no dash) not too long ago, so watching you drill through the frame was cringy as hell. Had to do it though! Your engineering change to use the threaded pin and leave those plate bushings intact made so much sense. Thanks
I had that happen to a M29 once about 1986/7…..sent it back to S&W to repair. Revolver had well over 5000 full power rounds through it and was really smooth from that wear. It came back stiff as a new gun and appeared to have been reblued.
My personal preference is the model 13 in 357. That said, the S&W K frame is my biggest bit of gunsmithing. This was a delight to watch. Thank you, sir.
Peening the stud by striking a hammer with another hammer was a brilliant hack; so much better control than using a punch and hammer. I'll try this on other projects the next time the need arises.
As always I love watching Mark carry out work that others are afraid of. The truth of comments around precision is that there is always a means to get it humanly correct which is a lot of time all that is needed. Mass produced pistols always have the mystique of terms like hand finished custom fit and bedded etc. But in reality there is always tolerances involved and a careful human can can achieve these with due care and attention with what are basic tools as mark so often does. If you dont dare you dont win !!
Kinda funny, I had the opportunity to work on a 29-0 that was owned by a Baptist pastor. Pristine condition. Just needed a trigger job. Made him an offer.... he still owns it!
I've got a nickel model with 7 1/2" barrel and it is a hoot to shoot. I love mine. S&W made something that will always be a demand for. It is the handgun to have if you like six shooters.
This part presses in. Getting it out per my armorer class was "send to factory." I've only seen one pop out on its own, and that was on a Centennial. That one was educating. It was knurled on the edges and pressed in.
god i would pay monthly to learn in person from you the things you know the abilities you have and above all the experience to utilize and all of that into such amazing work and craftsmanship almost nonexistent tody I WOULD LOVE every min of it all of the learning! KEEP IT UP!
I always wondered how those studs were installed. Were they milled as part of the frame? That would be very difficult, so your replacement makes total sense now that you've shown how it's done. Now we know! Thanks!
The studs are brazed in. They are pressed in and stick out of the other side,a small ring of brass is put on each one and then the frame goes through an oven to melt it. The frame and studs are killed flush.
@@marknovak8255 we need more of your excellent work Mr Novak. It would be great to see a collaboration with you and Ian McCollum. Especially since I heard you mention, working on some of his guns.
Makes me think about the Model 28 Highway Patrolman I inherited. The thing hadn't been cleaned in decades to the point that the ratchet was full of gunk and one chamber wouldn't lock in place. A deep clean helped.
I absolutely love your “sailor-isms”! Nice job cleaning up that “cow wizzing on a flat rock”! First time I heard the “uncut version” was from an old Chief BT in WestPac in 1968. Ha!
Mark, I know you said this is your personal gun, but I can just hear someone screaming, "what do you mean it costs $XXX.XX??!! It's just one little pin!!" Considering what it took to make one little pin I could understand the price of one little pin.
Even well engineered pistols wear on critical parts. I have some well used Smiths that I had not considered such an issue on. Your attention to detail is appreciated. Great job.
I have a 29-2 and years ago I broke the hammer stud off while cleaning the gun. The gun is nickel plated and this was before 1984. I sent the gun back to S and W and they repaired and RE nickeled the gun, the whole gun as would be required to match the finish. NO charge.
It gets me every time you SEEM to take the easer way . But when I here you threw it makes perfect since . Thank you for including the thought process in your videos. Very important for a bull headed person like me.
This was a fun little adventure. Found your channel while cleaning the .500 version of that gun. I'm a huge fan of the half lug barrel, especially in my hell boy sized pew. Subscribed!
What a fascinating video about your gunsmithing knowedge and abilities repairing your Model 29. I love seeing how the actions in these older S&W revolvers. They give me insight into the action in my Model19-3.
Love watching you work. I know there’s guys loosing their mind because you didn’t set that pistol up in a milling machine. But, I think it’s awesome that you did it the way you did with a hand drill and you were able to do it well.
A triple lock. Last time I heard about them - Elmer Kieth was shooting one and Ed Migiverne [sp?} Fast and Fancy Pistol shooting, back before WW 2. They are nice guns! PS - Mark - THANK YOU - Real Artists - GunSmiths should be doing this work. I still have a 44 Ruger - I bought when I was 20. Wish I bought the Super Comanche a friend offered for sale. Cheers Always!
Very interesting. Got a Smith model 10 police trade-in a few years ago. Trigger/cylinder all worked but trigger felt odd. Sideplate off and problem was pretty obvious! Sent off to S&W and was wondering just how they fix those broken pins. I was impressed the revolver was still working, guess that speaks to the S&W design.
Shouldn't Re-timing a revolver, simply be a matter of replacing the worn out components? Was what I was going to ask. But then I pulled up a diagram of a S&W and holy cheese and crackers! There's a LOT of parts on this revolver! I thought the barrel was forged with the body of the revolver. But it makes sense to be able to replace the barrel. It made me appreciate your work on a whole new level.
I have a Pre 29 that i hated to shoot until I figured out Coke bottle grips are not friends to my hands. Now with cheep Pachmayr grips it is a dream to shoot.
@@panzerabwerkanone The Saturn V and Apollo spacecraft was all metric... It was designed by German engineers. The Space Shuttle used inch measurements... The British and American inches were different until 1959 when they both agreed to use a metric definition of an inch of 25.4mm (yes the current inch is a metric derivative unit and in the American case has been since 1897). That is also why the American Survey Foot is a different length to a regular foot. The British Legal inch was slightly shorter than the American inch. The Enfield inch was slightly longer than both (Hence 0.303 when 0.300 was ordered).
An absolutely riveting video :-) I figured you'd harden the stud, but no? And did you bush the oversized hole in the side plate? I had the hammer pivot stud snap on my J-frame. S&W fixed it free, on a gun that went out of warranty back when I still had hair!
How does one break a trigger stud on a S&W 29? It's not like it's a Rossi or a Rohm! Then again I bought a NOS 29-1 in 2005ish and after 500 rounds of Federal American Eagle it was out of time. I ended up trading it and some cash to a gunsmith for a new 629, never had a problem with that gun but after a few years I decided I'd rather have a 29 as I prefer blued guns. So I found a 29-5 4" for a good deal and bought it. I've had it since 2015 and put probably 2000 of my 240gr cast bullets over 18.0 grains of 2400 through it with no issues. I don't know if S&W made a 29-5 4" from the factory or if someone did this but I sure like it with light to medium loads.
Probably a flaw in the part. Something small that took a whole lot of rounds before fracturing. Either that, or someone dropped the revolver at some point in time. GunBlue(something something something) talks about working as a armorer for police forces back in the day. Stuff like that usually came around as a result of dropped guns.
I used to do warranty repairs for S&W back when there was money in it. I would have counseled returning it to the factory for this repair. I'm sure Mark knows the "You Touch It, You Own It Rule." Particularly the liability factor on this doomed weapon. Nuff said.
I think Mark said he was only deviating from the "return to S&W" procedure because he owned the firearm in question. I guess this one must have seen a lot of use to wear out the trigger pivot that way. I had a Model 14 as my "most serious" centrefire match revolver from about 1980 until 1997 and must have put several thousands of rounds through it over those years.
I gottstaknow ! Brilliant,I’ve ordered my Umarex 6.5 inch BB version,coz that’s all they’ll let us have in the Uk ! Still though,I can’t wait ! Cheers from Blighty
That was the only time I've watched Mark work that I had pause, I'm not that confident in hand drilling and tapping and would've done the drilling and tapping in my mill, but it worked for him so all good.
I admire the humility you show when stating that you just recently felt up to the task of such an endeavor. Also, was that Sousa on the reassembly time lapse?
please show the rust bluing of the frame - the small area you now have to rust blue to match the rest of the gun - you have never shown a small area rust blued to match the rest of the guns bluing that is still ok - that process, many of us have a pistol or gun that needs a touch up in an area with rust bluing...
Ok, here's a question: When cold, both the SA & DA are silky smooth. When warm (2-3 full cylinders at the range), the SA is still fine but the DA snags and brings me no pleasure. Any clue what the cause could be???
DA and SA use two different sears, two different feels. First, make sure the ejector rod is tight, this can cause problems. Heating up implies drying out. Run lots of oil in front of the hammer then cycle dry a bunch. Run it WET for a few cylinders, then blow out with compressed air.
Repost but I still happily watched it. Hey, could you repost your work on the trench gun refurbishment, the one where you added a reproduction bayonet mount? I built up my own "SIT DOWN GUN" tribute from an old Western Field (Mossberg 500). I was pleased with the way it came out and tried to re-watch your video to compare and can't find it. Please ignore if it's posted and I just couldn't find it. Love your work, thanks.
Dear mister Novak I got today a beautiful S&W 29-2, in mint condition with the serial N1295.. (I concealed the last two digits). Can you tell me please what for build year is this one? My guess is something around 1973, but I don't have exactly information. Thank you sir in advance and wish you all the best!

"...did he shoot 5 shots, or six - _before it broke?"_ Got a good belly laugh out of that one, Mark. Outstanding! :-)
I know this is an older video, but I just wanted to say, great job, not just on the video, but the information and presentation too.
Nothing more beautiful than an old S&W revolver with the deep mirror blue and wood grips.
Mark said, he was going to rust blue the revolver when he was test-firing it in the rain. I do rust bluing and it typically doesn't come out to mirror finish however, the rust blue finish is more durable than the Smith & Wesson finish.

Important information that translates directly to my Model 28 Highway Patrolman. Thanks, Mark!!
My grips have always felt too big but it's a damn accurate gun
" I know what you're thinking..... Did he fire five shots or was it six? Are you feeling lucky punk? Well are you!?" Great content Mark! Thank you sir.
I had a poor mans Model 29 back in the day. A S&W model 28, six inch in .357. Carried that on duty for six seven years, great shooter.

First Model 29 in .44 Mag I saw in person,not long after the movie came out when I was a kid, was owned by a Catholic Priest from Chicago.

Remember, the metric system is for those who suck at math.
