Years ago, I shot a Ruger Old Army .44 and enjoyed the sport. When I moved to Florida and a new job, I sold all of my guns. Now, 25 years later, I have purchased a Euroarms New Army (Remington 58, .44 cal.) and am in the process of assembling a shooting box with the required equipment.
I am a bit concerned about the hammer safety notches in the cylinder of the Euroarms. In the Ruger, the hammer would drop securely into the notches between the active chambers. With the Euroarms, the notches are not deep enough for the hammer to drop into them.
Has anyone on this forum had a similar experience with this revolver and how did you fix the problem?
I have thought of grinding the notches with my Dremel tool but don't want to screw up the cylinder.
I called Euroarms and they sent me a parts list and loading sheet but failed to answer my question about the cylinder.
