EAA Windicator problem

Nez, get the thing to a gunsmith.

If you can send it back to EAA.

You got burned on this gun.

You aren't the first.

I've got burned by so many used guns,I need suntan lotion.

I'm simply saving my money and buying new ones-name brand (Smith's, Glocks, Rugers ,CZ's) when I can.

And it's going to be awhile before I buy another one.

Money's tight.
 
I really appreciate all the answers and help, thanks 5-shots and willikers. I don't think I am going to do any crane stretching or boss trimming but I may try to put a shim on. If I was able to find a washer or shim that fit on the front are there any metals that are more heat resistant. I know I have some brass, zinc, and steel washers that I may be able to use, I assume steel is the best option for durability and heat resistance?

Brass and zinc washers are good because they are low friction materials and because when used "against" an harder material component they wear out and the other component basically not (so you have not to worry about crane wearing). IMHO it makes real sense to build brass or zinc (I'd prefere brass) washers if you have the possibility. I'd be not worried abuot heat.
 
Alright now willikers said to use steel for heat resistance and durability but I will try zinc or brass, I supposed that would work better than steel which would probably wear the surface of the crane down. And B.N.Real I would send it in if I had 50 or 60 extra bucks laying around for the shipping there and back but at this time I do not. For now it still works on some level so I am trying all the home remedies I can before I start saving up for that.
 
Was this a brand-new gun?

Quite honestly if you bought a $250 foreign-made revolver and expected it to run great, you need to re-examine your life. Some things are worth saving up for in life. A first handgun is one of them.

Do yourself a favor and get rid of that gun, chalk it up to a learning experience, and get yourself a quality American revolver.

For a hundred bucks or so more, you could have gotten a used S&W Model 10 or similar that would have been leagues ahead of the gun you own now.

For about $300 more, which might necessitate some saving on your part but would be WELL worth it, it would be hard to beat a Ruger GP100 for an economical but very well made accurate/rugged/powerful first revolver.

Say what you will but if you had chosen that route, you simply would not be here right now asking this question. You would be out shooting and havin' a gay old time! :D
