I'm trying to repair an old S&W Registered 357 made in 1938.- Does anyone know what is the angle of the forcing cone? It is badly eroded, perhaps by many thousands of full power round.-
I have heard of 11 degrees.- Any help highly appreciated

You might ask this question on the Smith & Wesson forum:

You do know that a genuine Registered Magnum can be worth a lot of money?

Thank you so much, Herb
