I bought a used Ruger Old Army revolver knowing that there is something wrong with it.

The problem is that the cylinder doesn't lock up when it is fully cocked. It can rotate clockwise and click like when its on half cock. What part do i need and how do i install it?

One of the screws on the frame to the right of the hammer is stuck and close to useless and is stripped a little, making it hard to remove and i am scared that i am going to strip it completely and not be able to get it out, so I can do much other than remover the cylinder.

thanks in advance.
