Ruger Old Army

I can take apart all of my rifles and put them back together blindfolded too, but the problem is that with them i had it properly assembled the first time and also had good instructions. This is my first revolver and i have never taken one apart before and have nothing to base it on and had no clue what it looks like when it is correctly assembled, but i knew that the cylinder should lock up.


What ever part that pulls the latch down is the part i need, as i think its missing, but again, i have no referance.


If i can figure it out by tuesday, then i will mail it to ruger, but would prefer to fix it myself if i can.
 
It is frustrating

Isn't it.... any one of us, if we could see the gun in question, the problem would probably be so obvious it would likely bite us on the nose :D

Rifleer, can you take any pics and post them?
 
here are pics. note that the latch is up on both full and half cock.

I think i figures it out. What pushed the latch spring down? is it a part of the hammer? if so i think that part is broken. The problem has nothing to do with the latch or the spring, but the hammer.

Would it be possible for someone to post a picture of both sides of the hammer? That way i can compare the picture to my hammer. I can seem to find a good picture of the hammer on the internet.
