M63 is fun and accurate mine has rubber grips , I need to find a set of SW finger groove target stocks for it. 17-3 shoots nice but not even close to my 18-2 with smooth dark Rosewood SW target stocks. Never find any revolver that will let you perfect your DA shooting any cheaper. They are the cream...

Either the crown is off or the barrel is rotated 'cause the rear sight has to be visibly off center. Groups, with CCI mini-mag HPs, are around 1.5 to 2 inches at 25 yards from a rest.

I'm not sure what the plan is yet. It has not gotten off to a start that gives me optimism for eventual happy results.

Did you ever get it resolved?

My 17-9 had a tall ratchet on one chamber that I fixed, took a little while (you have to keep it square and go slow). It wouldn't cock on that chamber before I filed the offending ratchet a bit.

Seems like some of the Classics are not quite up to snuff action wise, the MIM parts are close to spec so they don't hand fit them as they once did. They use very heavy mainsprings in the 17 and 48 to eliminate misfires with .22 ammo but I generally leave them alone.

I believe the original kit guns were on the smaller "I" frame.

The term "kit gun" came from either advertising or because of it's small compact size designed to be carried in a mans traveling kit.
