    D/SA Revolver Won't Always Rotate?

    I had a hand shipped from Numrich and installed it... Still getting the same results. It's as if the spring is not pushing it forward enough to always catch the ratchet, but how can that be fixed? Is there some tweaking to the spring that I must do before I install it or something?

    D/SA Revolver Won't Always Rotate?

    Hey all, I have an old H&R (I know, half of the problem is right there) 732, and the cylinder will rotate in DA... but if you try SA, it will most of the time (90%) not even wiggle. Occasionally, working the hammer extremely slow will rotate the cylinder, but that doesn't work much...

    Luger jams shut?

    Yes, my mistake, they are snap caps, not dummy rounds. I always flop those two around. :uhoh:

    Luger jams shut?

    I'm using the caps from A- Zoom, they're reading about 1.108" in OAL. FMJ round nose. Is the Luger just tricky to simulate running dummy rounds through it, and may work when live firing?

    Luger jams shut?

    Thanks rc, I gave that a go and they all seem to be running fine now. Maybe it just hasn't been cycled in a long time? One other thing is that the rounds occasionally jam up with the nose of the bullet right under the extractor groove. I wish I was more familiar with these neat pistols but I...

    Luger jams shut?

    Hey guys, I'm tinkering with a Luger and notice when I put dummy rounds through it, every once and a while, probably once or twice in a mag, the bolt jams shut. I need to take a rubber hammer to it to open it back up. Any idea what this may be? I have not shot this pistol, I had to...

    Model 60 will not chamber!

    It was given a thorough cleaning prior to the picture, so the culprit must be the feed throat? It is an older rifle with a lot of rounds through it I believe, so I suppose it'd make sense.

    Model 60 will not chamber!

    Hey guys, I'm back with another little problem, this time on a Model 60. As the round starts to feed, it 'jumps' up, into the corner of the receiver on the ejection port side... Obviously resulting in a jam. The extractor seem to look fine, ejector will work fine when you hand feed the round...

    S&W 19-3 Trigger not resetting?

    GOOD NEWS!! It is finally resolved thanks to all you guys who narrowed it down and picked out what it was... That damned little trigger stop. I removed it and gave the revolver a final cleaning, threw it together, and it is working great. I really appreciate all the input and help... You...

    S&W 19-3 Trigger not resetting?

    Found another problem... I threw in the cylinder for ****s and giggles and the action is locked up when installed.

    S&W 19-3 Trigger not resetting?

    To my knowledge, nothing has been done to the revolver in terms of modification. It was recently stripped down because the spring on the hand was not placed properly back on its leg it sits on during a past reassembly. Could it be something as simple as a piece misaligned/misplaced when it was...

    S&W 19-3 Trigger not resetting?

    I'll post some more pics to hopefully allow you guys to better understand how everything is seated as is. This is how it should look once cycled, correct?

    S&W 19-3 Trigger not resetting?

    Hey guys, I got another question you can hopefully resolve! This model 19-3's trigger doesn't seem to be completely resetting due to the sear not sitting over the trigger like I believe it should. What would cause this if not the problem I mentioned, and how would I go about fixing it? I...

    Damaged 1911 Casings

    I'll definitely look into a new extractor and recoil spring. It is tough to tell which spring is in there now as these parts were from a box tucked away, so who knows the original specs.. Thanks guys!
