Problems with my Taurus Tracker .17hmr...
Hello there, I have recently traded for a Tracker in .17HMR and after a thorough inspection noticed a couple of things that might be an issue. At first glance I spotted some small places that I believe to be surface rust or some other type of stain. Upon further inspection I noticed a couple more possibly serious issues. 1) To the right of where the hammer seats itself there seems to be a crack in the frame. I'm not to familiar with revolvers and I don't know if this is normal or not.
2) The screw that holds the cylinder release is marred and tends to rattle like something is not right internally. Like I said, I am not familiar with revolvers especially the Taurus Tracker and may be over reacting but if not is there a way to fix this or will Taurus fix/trade it as part of the lifetime warranty? All info is greatly appreciated and thanks for your help ahead of time. |

1. Crack in frame: This is the side plate that allows the internals to be acessed when removed. Supposed to be there.
2. Rust spots: Stainless steel isn't. Use Flitz or oooo steel wool to remove. 3. Cylinder relaes loose; Some play is normal. The screw is a shoulder screw so the cylinder release will slide in it's slot. As long as the screw is tight it's probably O.K.If it is judged to be too sloppy a very thin washer under the head of the screw will help. Be sure to use the right screwdriver so you don'twreck the screw any more. Last edited by Goldy; September 26, 2009 at 11:09 AM. Reason: Fat Fingers |

I'm aware of the side plate but was wondering more about the gap in the hammer well. It seems to larger than the rest by about 1/32 of an inch. just didnt know if it was damage or normal. When I can get my hands on a better camera I'll post some more detailed pics.
