I post a lot on TFL but not generally on this forum.
I came up with a Regent .22 LR with a broken yoke.
I found a yoke and cylinder assy. on Evil bay for 75.00.
I am reluctant to spring for it for two reasons. The pistol, fully functioning in good condition is not worth much more than 75.00.
The yoke, made of white metal with such a small cross section is a natural weak spot in that revolver. I am afraid, I'd buy it, put it in and have it broke soon anyway.
So, I made a fitting, a small plate. Drilled and tapped the two parts of the broken crane, and screwed it back together. It may actually be stronger than the original part.
Cycles fine. Cylinder swings out and in and latches in place smoothly.
If it were not for the white metal parts, I would say this is a pretty nice revolver.
Tnx,
Doc
