Since I discovered Ahlman's in Morristown, MN, they do all of my pistolsmithing. I highly recommend them, great work, fair price, and quick turn-around. I have had them do their action job and tune and ream the forcing cone on several S&W, Rossi, Ruger, and Taurus revolvers in.22 LR, .22 MAG, 357, 44, and 45. A great value for under $150, including shipping and insurance.

If I had your S&W 69, I'd send it to Ahlman's before I even shot it for the first time.

I agree with you 100% Jeff. Ahlman's is great.

May give this a try. I've already been into this revolver to change the lock out for "The Plug".


There is a good youtube video by Jerry Miculek about doing the change with a ball point pen. Works slick.
