Bought this revolver at a gun show last week. It is in terrible shape.
All of the screw heads were essentially destroyed. Nearly every spring in the revolver is either broken or missing.
The case ejector operator disc needs to be replaced and probably the bolt as well.
I know these parts are not available so, over time I will try making them.
Here is a photo of the pistol as I bought it.
I took it apart.....Sorry for the miserable photo....One of these days I am going to learn to use my camera...or just start using my iPhone.
I had to drill out the screw for the barrel latch and the screw for the cylinder latch spring.
I made the screw for the barrel latch from one I had in spares. The shank was too small in diameter, so I had to make a tiny sleeve so to prevent the barrel latch from moving around too much.
The hole in the barrel latch is a good bit bigger than the screw I made. Sleeve takes up the slack.
Nuther thousand hours and I might have the thing working.
My intent is to get it working but prolly won't shoot it.
