This weekend I picked up a new no-lock 642. I was pretty pumped about it since I have been missing the 642 no dash that I sold back to the original owner who decided he couldn't live without it.
After I installed an Apex trigger kit in it I wiped it down, swabbed the barrel and lubed it. I noticed the patches were hanging up in the forcing cone a little. Upon closer inspection I noticed a burr that runs around the entire inside diameter of the forcing cone face. I thought about just shooting it and not worrying about it but I figure this could negatively impact accuracy. Calling S&W today to get a return label. Guess I better get the Apex kit out of there before I send it. Pretty bummed but honestly I was afraid this would happen. I've heard a lot about bad S&W QC and now I see it first hand.
