Revolver Lock

Thanks.

I did find some info on You Tube and I believe I've successfully removed the offending part. Basically just the flag, right?

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. Action appears to cycle correctly until I install the side plate at which time it locks up solid.

Any idea?

Cheers,

Norm

Lock solved

The culprit was a proud pin on the hammer. It fouled the side plate.

Little tap, problem solved.

This what happens when you let lawyers run the world. Islamic jihadists don't frighten me but lawyers do.

So the "evil lock" wasn't the problem after all. But the anti-lock crew feels better now that one has been removed.
