As the old saying goes, "if you want something done right you have to do it yourself".
The second bad cylinder from Heritage. This one had a point on the star wheel damaged, more than likely from manufacturing handling. Luckily it was not that bad and I was able to use a jewelers file and smooth out the point. The whole star wheel was a little rough from manufacturing so I cleaned it up with some effort. The "hand" would catch on this point and stick there until you uncocked and rotated the cyl by hand. They say it was test fired 18 times. That tells me that they fired twice with the cylinder not locked in and the chamber not aligned with the barrel.
The RR now locks and cocks and does not jam. I have not test fired it yet. Will do so friday. I expect no problems.
I have lost all faith in Heritage warranty repair after my RR went to them twice and was returned not functioning properly both times. Both times it was a cylinder problem. Gun was new Mar 11, 2013.
I now suffer from the "shoulda bought" syndrome.
