This is the revolver I bought in FL and had shipped to VA.
Second time I took it out to shoot it, the pivot pin in the hand broke.
I also noted that the cam was worn badly though you can't really tell from the following photo.
So I made a new pivot pin and installed it in the hand by center punching the pin in the hand.
I also drove the cam out of the hammer by about a 16th inch and reshaped the face of it.
The revolver cycles very well now.
I did not heat treat the part because I have only a little knowledge of heat treating and I did not want to do more harm than good.
I'll let y'all know how it holds up.
