Awhile back a friend of the family gave my twin grandsons each a .22 Western revolver. These seem to be about half size knock offs of the Colt Peacemaker. Anyway the last time I took the boys shooting I found that one of them had problems. I called and asked him if he knew about this and he told me that he figured I could fix it...
First problem is the trigger doesn't return all the way forward. That was the easy problem to diagnose, the spring was cracked and now broken. The other problem was when bringing the hammer back to the loading position, the cylinder won't index. I found that I had to do some less than safe manipulation to get it lined up to load so we put it away and only shot the other one.
Today I finally got around to taking them apart, cleaning them and looking for the problem. The only thing I can figure out that could be the causing this is the pall that locks the cylinder is worn where the hammer won't lift it for loading.
Does this sound reasonable and if so, anybody know where I can get parts?
