Hello everyone, I just joined and this is my first post, glad to be here with you fine folks!
My issue is with my new to me NEF R92 .22cal revolver, I picked it up from an auction and it seemed hardly used. For those not familiar, it's a 9 shot double action revolver. Upon close inspection after buying it I noticed that when you cock the hammer or pull the trigger and look down the barrel (unloaded of course) you can see one edge of the chamber mouth that the fired round would be in. It would be the left side of the chamber as you sight down the barrel like you were shooting it, the cylinder turns clockwise so the edge that you can see would be the trailing side. Basically, the cylinder is turning too far.
I didn't think this would be a big deal and that the forcing cone would take care of it, but after putting just over 100 rds though it I went to clean it and noticed that the right edge of the forcing cone was kinda rolled over and had a burr, that is, the edge of the steel was dull and not like the other side of the forcing cone (hard to see in pic, but I provided one). I figure this is from the lead bullet impacting it. I also have a fair amount of lead spatter on the frame above the forcing cone.
What can I do to correct this? I found a new hand and cylinder stop online, but have also read that it might be solved by filing the hand down, among other things.
Aside from the atrocious sights, I really like the gun. It's all wood and steel, is overbuilt, handles well, seems reliable and isn't something I have to worry about scratching. I'd like to resolve this issue and hang on to it.
Thanks for your help!
