Spring is bearing down, so I finally got around to swapping out the mainspring on the S&W 10-8. The gun is in nice enough shape that I didn't just dive in & screw it up, I actually bought a manual. The S&W Revolvers - A Shop Manual, by Jerry Kuhnhausen. Glad I did, 'cause I wouldn't have figured out how to get the side plate off without dinging it.
I was surprised at how clean the innards were; no crud at all in there.
Installed a Wolff standard weight mainspring, put the gun back in order, and put the wooden grips on while I was at it. Here's a photo. We'll see if all of those CCI primers pop first time now.
3" bull barrel. There's a little holster wear at the muzzle, otherwise clean.
