Your mission, if you so choose to accept, is to solve the puzzle of the malfunctioning single action. The victim - an EAA Bounty Hunter. Caliber 45, 7.5 in barrel. The symptoms - when shooting smokeless powder loads the victim has had nary a hicup. When firing blackpowder loads, however, it will almost immediately jam up (within a shot or two) and jam sporadically during the course of fire. The jam may take the form of a hammer/cylinder refusal to budge unless various parts are manipulated by hand, or as it was observed during the last outing - the hand receded back into the recoil plate and would not come out (from fear of the smoking beastie???) for nought. This caused the cylinder to not rotate as usual unless turned by hand.
A post-mortum complete tear down for cleaning revealed the following evidence - NOTHING!!! No parts are broken. All parts function as they should. The hand spring is well formed and stout. The internals were no dirtier after 31 rounds of BP than my 9mm auto after 100 rds!
In short - a mystery Mr. Phelps...........errr.......whoever........
Any ideas? Is my EAA allergic to BP? Is it possessed?
