| I am having a problem with a H&R 922 22lr pistol. From what I can tell the cyl rotates too far some times resulting in lock-up. It does not do it every time and if you rotate it with your hand when it jam it will go back into the right place. I am going to play with it some more and I will post a little later, I just feel that in its current state that is unsafe. I might end up removing the firing pin spur from the hammer and filling in the firing spur hole so that the gun will no longer work and only be a display piece but only as a last resort. if you have any experience I would be grateful. |

If its an old revolver this may help. Old oil/grease will dry out over time. It leaves a coating on internal parts and causes clearance issues with close fitting parts. Completly disassemble the pistol. Then drop the parts in a good penetrating solvent, let them soak for a week.Then scrub each part to remove any old hard oil. Look at each part for any damage, broken springs, ect. But just a detailed careful cleaning might be all that is needed to repair an old revolver. |
looks like this is the older model that has the flat mainspring. The Cylinder stop is part of the trigger. I think this is my problem, the cylinder stop looks like someone took a file to it. I will try and post pictures. I think I found a trigger from numrich, If I replace the triger and cylinder stop should this fix my problem?

Yes, I see what you mean, like some attempted to repair and was a little rough. The timing is critical on any revolver. I am not an expert. But I believe the timing adjustments are made on the tip of the lever(the part that meets the gear on the back of cylinder). Not on the cylinder lock. At this point I would take it to a good gunsmith and have it repaired. |
