Hi, Jeremy,
I am beginning to think the frame is bent. That kept the cylinder from closing properly, so the "gunsmith" filed down the end of the center pin so it would lock after a fashion.
I don't know how big a town you live in but in most areas the gun community is fairly small and most dealers can't afford to antagonize customers. A restocking fee is appropriate when a customer simply decides he didn't like what he bought. The fee makes up for the pain in the fanny the dealer has to go through.
But when the item is not right and was sold under false pretenses, that is not a customer changing his mind, that is fraud on the part of the dealer. If you know a stray lawyer who would be willing to write a letter about the possible consequences of fraud, it might help enormously.
Jim
