A Boomer friend has this gun and it’s a mess. Failing function check. I don’t know shit about revolvers. This is after a 3 day CLP soak. Degreasing. Another 3 day soak. 1. Rust? What’s the most bang for the buck? I’m not dojg a restoration and this is break glass in case. No, the neighbor won’t buy something else. 2. Action fixes? A. Cock hammer B. Pull trigger, hammer falls. C. No reset, cock hammer, no cylinder rotation, hammer falls, repeat. Or. A. Cock hanmer B. Pull trigger hammer falls C. Manual pull trigger forward. D. Double action pull that rotates the cylinder. Repeat. Spring issue? If so, the little pin above the trigger?

| My guess is that there is a spring broken that resets the trigger. |
So... I find comfort in the fact that if Trump has to work so hard to go to Heaven, then there is a shit load of Democrats that have no f-cking chance to go anywhere but HELL. Sometimes it is entirely appropriate to kill a fly with a sledge-hammer.

There's a sear spring, hand spring, and trigger spring in there. They're probably all smoked. Needs to come apart to bits and pieces to be sure (and to fix it). Maybe throw it in an ultra sonic cleaner, shoot compressed air through it, lightly oil, and cross your fingers. |

I'm in way over my head.

Step one is narrowing down what it even is. In 1904 H&R was making the 1st model auto eject .22 revolver? So find a schematic and get an idea what's in there. Maybe it's similar enough internally to later models that you can find a YouTube video showing how to disassemble it. Originally Posted By Media_Noche: You're probably right.
