I won an auction on a used H&R 732, my first ever used gun I've bought on Gunbroker.
It had a broken grip and some nicks and scratches, but I expect to see that from a used gun. What I don't expect when it's not mentioned anywhere in the listing is a revolver that has a timing issue.
From what I can gather the issue is related to the cap of the cylinder crane being bent and it causes enough interference with the hand rotating the cylinder that it doesn't rotate the cylinder enough until the bolt locks in place.
It doesn't happen all the time, but it happens whenever the end cap is in the same two positions. I know this because I made a little line with a colored pencil and when the line is at the 5 or 7 O'clock position, the cylinder does not fully lock into place.
So, is this something I should send back and eat the money on or do those hear with some gunsmith knowledge think it's possibly fixable?
