I bought an old S&W model 10-7 from Aim Surplus. Used with no barrel. They stated that it originally had a 2" barrel.
I get the pistol and its lightly used, and solid.
I order a used 2" barrel from Gun parts thart states fits thge 10-7 and after the Covid 2 month wait they finally ship it.
As I'm waiting for the barrel I start watching vids on how to change a barrel. There is a lot of talk of special tools, some people made their own tools, and some people use wood blocks and a vice. That last one was my favorite.
I get the barrel and it threads in as easily as can be with only 2 fingers and doesn't stop until it hits the cylinder. Is there supposed to be a crush washer or set of shims that goes in between the frame and barrel? This barrel is a no-pin type.
