Made the transfer bar from tool steel. After filing it to profile, it was placed into a hand vise and then bent by hand to 36 degrees. It was then fitted (some filing and honing) before annealing.
New issues but not my problem. My job was to make the transfer bar. First there is a spring and plunger inside the trigger and it provides pressure against the hand and makes the hand tilt forward so as to engage the ratchet. Sometimes it doesn't work. Second the acton sometimes locks up when you squeeze it in the double action mode. Third, sometimes when the hammer drops it doesn't go boom.
On the first, the spring and the plunger are so short that the plunger doesn't necessarily go forward enough to place pressure on the hand. If there is no or inconsistent pressure on the hand, the hand won't engage the ratchet and because it doesn't, the cylinder won't rotate. Taurus should have stayed with the musical wire spring design used by S&W.
As to the latter, I'm wondering if the transfer bar is hanging up on the firing pin? That could cause the action to lock up. There is a healthy bevel on the top of the transfer bar that should allow it to slip over (Taurus designed that right).
