H & R 999 AU code 1980. I recently bought it at a pawn shop. When I purchased it their gunsmith had had it for about 3 months. It would not extract reliable. The gunsmith said that he could not find parts for it. I replaced the hook, slide, and pivot bolt. That fixed the ejection problem. The gun works fine except I cannot remove the cylinder. The pawn shop man implied that his gunsmith may have replaced the cylinder catch. There seem to be no movement when the release is depressed.

Any idea on removing the cylinder without depressing the release? I have a
new catch on the way however, I have never seen what is visible with the
cylinder removed. I don't want to damage anything other than maybe the
catch. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
