Hi, Guys!
I've had all kinds of guns over the years, and I'm no stranger to the innards of the ones I've owned until now. This revolver is a completely new beast for me. I recently bought a used Cattleman that is having some problems. I know, before you pile on, "should have bought a new one", or "should have bought a real Colt", etc. Got it. And forgive me if my terminology/nomenclature sucks.
Anyhow, there is a cylindrical(?) protrusion near the pawls of the hammer that engages one of the arms of the bolt. The bolt arm is slipping off of the cylinder thing, which prevents the cylinder from rotating when the hammer is in the second position.
To me, this cylinder thing looks like it's either worn out or has been filed down. By looking at this picture, can anyone tell me what the deal is? I also have noticed that the firing pin has a fair amount of play, although the pin that holds the firing pin in place does not appear to have ever been removed.
Thanks in advance!
