Well,
I got to take the new Liberty Arms SAA clone to the range today. 1st 25-30 rounds went great, actually pretty close to point of aim with .38 special in the .38/357 Magnum cylinder. However, when loading my last two cartridges, the cylinder became bound up. All I could do to unbind was remove the cylinder. Now, the cylinder will not lock up and the hammer will only go from full cock to half cock when the trigger is pulled. The cylinder doesn't rotate at all, and the arm the moves the cylinder doesn't move when the hammer is pulled into the full cock position. I bought the gun prior to doing any research, the company that made it is out of business and did not have a good reputation at all. Is it worth having a gun smith work with this revolver and try to fix it? I have already scratched the cylinder all the way around trying to work with it. I have $ 250 invested in the gun, I don't want to sink more money into it, if it is just never going to be anything but junk. What would you guys do? Thanks.
