Men freely believe that which they desire.

I had a 681 with similar intermittent DA problems that turned out to be due to endshake. One shim fixed it. How much back-and-forth cylinder play is there with the cylinder closed? Do you have feeler gauges you can use to measure it? What about b/c gap?
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
Zero play...measured the gap, .006".
Checked sideplate against a flat surface, it's straight. Until I opened it up yesterday, I don't think the gun has ever been apart since the factory.
I investigated further this morning, noticed the cylinder stop wasn't dropping on the DA pulls that locked up. Tore it down and removed the stop, noticed a very slight amount of dried oil "smegma" on the stop. Cleaned it up and gave it a light polish, installed all the innards again and gave it a try...
All is well now, works like a charm. Amazing how just a miniscule amount of crud can affect function.
