Possibly a Model 96, a six-shot revolver with a non-full length ejector housing. There's no model identification designation on the revolver?

Pardon my "Norwegian"-it's non-existent.

And welcome to The Firing Line!

Thank`s for answer.

No, only Taurus Brasil on the barrel, and of course gun nr.

Have problem whith fiering the gun some times, somthing locs the trigger, but kan easely turn the barrel whith my fingers too next shoot. But i can have an empty sylinder, or already shootend cases in it, and never got the problem then. Only when i try too fiering it after the first shoot, sometimes then its looks the trigger, or make it wery hard too move.
A gunsmith here, give it up

too get it alright.

Tryed too look on the internet too get some clues, but i dont now what the modell is, maby this model have a problem.

Didn't Taurus do like S&W and Rossi by putting the model number in the crane opening? ...you gotta open the wheel and look at the receiver towards the front of the wheel.

That looks like a very old revolver. It may need a trip to the gun smith for a check.

Also might be the revolvers innards need cleaning out as well.
Same for around the ejector rod and ejector star. If cleaning doesn't work then some of the gun's parts may need fixing or replacement.

From the pictures it looks like that example has had quite a few rounds shot through it or long use.

I have a 96 and do not have your problems. The 96 has not been made for some years. Those were stopped being made in 1998.

If you have a local Taurus parts place or someone that can work on it take it contact them and see what they can do.

Model number should be stamped on the frame, inside the cylinder yoke.

The gun is stripped down in parts, no mod number, exsept gun nr and k140 inside when the sylinder i opened.
