I just bought a used model 82 from gander mountain. The reason i bought it is cause they had it at a good price. After purchasing it i went to the indoor range and put about 150 rounds through it. The problem i was having was sometimes when i would push the cylider in it would sometimes not want to go in smoothly so i had to force it in to lock like something was stoping it from going in but it did not happen every time. Also sometimes while i was firing it in double action it would sometimes be very hard to pull before it fired almost like it was hanging up and it also would happen every time. Has anyone heard of this issue or experienced themselves? If so any comments would be very appreciated...Thanx!!
