I need help, as my Colt Python has stopped shooting double action.

The problem started about a year ago, so I put it into the repair shop, and had it repaired. It worked for about a week or two and the same problem reapeared.

The transporter turn's the cylinder to far which mean's that three of the chamber's (next to each other) are miss alligned and the this is causeing them to fail to fire.

Has anyone got any idea's? PM's please.

The German gunsmith with whom I spoke this morning didn't really have a clue as to what the cause could be, that's why I'm throwing the the question in on the forum.

Mod's, I know that this is somewhat off topic, and dosen't really belong here, but this is where my mate's are, who have always had answer's for me in the past. I'm also going to post a thread in the handgun forum so that other arfcom can give me some help & advice. Please don't remove this thread.

When my Colf Python started miss-behaving (in the old days)
I wrote to Colt and they sent over all the required 'stars' and springs!

Wouldn't like to say if they could / would do that now.................

Hiya ACR26,

Thanks for the feedback, when you say star's you mean the ratchet/extractor part in the middle of the cylinder, (I hope)?

You're lucky to have a Colt Python to misbehave…

I know, and I hope that this post isnt upsetting anyone, it's a cry for help to get it up & running again, before the German Gunsmith can repair thing's that don't need repairing....

My offer to let anyone who has the time and is over here to come visit me and visit a range still stand's.

Do you have access to any of the Kuhnhausen books?  They do a pretty decent job of analyzing problems and describing solutions.

If you need a source, let me know.

Thankyou to all, I have now found a German Gunsmith who assure's me that he has the experience and know's what he is doing. He is at the Frankonia Jagd central in Rottendorf. I'm hopeing that he is as good as he say's, and I'll keep you all posted.
