Dammit,...I think!

OK,...I've got this "new" S&W 629-4 44Mag Mountain Gun.
After reading the orig post by Jim, I'm a little worried that I bought a bad gun.

Cyl.Gap: .010" this in "full lock-up" as described by Jim.
(the .010" shim will force in on all cylinder hole indexing, the .011" will not)

fwd/backwrd play of cylinder: definately there, can hear slop when I move the cyln fwd/bkwrd. (maybe .001"-.004" play)

rotational movement When in "full lock-up", the cylinder rotational play is more on some cylinder holes than others. The play at best is .001"-.002" (pretty solid), the worst two positions are .003"-.005" play by my estimation (definite slop detected).

I'm mechanically inclined, what can a guy do to tighten the cyl gap to .005" (this would also help the fwd/bkwrd play of the cyl I'm sure) and how can I get the rotational play reduced?

..and yes I have a Brownells accnt!
