Hey guys,

I'm new to the forum and I was reading a thread in another section where a guy had bought a new-in-box revolver that was out of spec. I only own one wheelgun at this point, but I plan on adding others. I do own a set of feeler gauges so I thought I might as well check mine.

I have a Smith and Wesson PC 327 TRR8 (yeah I know - expensive and ugly to some, but I like it). Can one of you tell me what the barrel to cylinder gap, headspace, and any other critical measures you can think of should be? I am interested in learning more about gunsmithing so feel free to treat me like a student and elaborate on these measures as much as you like.

Thanks guys!
