Hi
My H&R (as per post title) has a problem with cylinder retention. The cylinder on my revolver does not lock into any position. The cylinder can be spun forward or backward with no resistance during handling. If the hammer is cocked in single action mode, the cylinder will align the chamber for firing. When the trigger is then pulled the cylinder will lock into place for firing. After the trigger is released, the cylinder will again rotate forward or backward with no resistance thus causing misalignment for the next round to be fired. In double action mode the cylinder advances properly to each chamber but when the trigger is released the cylinder is free to rotate forward or backward with no resistance. You never know if you are landing on a fired or unfired round.
Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. A schematic would also be great if anyone can download one.
THANKS!!!!!
