First off, I love this RIA M206 revolver...almost as much as the Colt Cobra in my profile picture. I'm a huge fan of the smoothness of Colt actions when functioning properly, even on cheaper clones like this that uses a coil mainspring.
The issue I'm having is with a snag in the trigger pull. Unless the gun is laying on it's right side, there is a catch or hard spot right as the bolt drops into the locking grooves. It's as if the crane has enough play that it's not shutting quite enough for lockup to be perfect as intended.
As mentioned though, if I hold the gun on it's right side, or manually pinch the crane shut tight, it has a perfect trigger pull that absolutely rivals my real Colt.
I have dealt with Colt style timing issues before. My Cobra was locking up just the tiniest bit late when slow cocked and it was keyholing. I lived with it until my mainspring broke (honestly my misuse caused it) and I sent it in. I was happy they fixed the timing issue in the process.
This isn't near that bad. There's nothing I can do to make it fire without being fully locked up. It's just that the little snag drives me absolutely insane because this $200 revolver is otherwise incredibly accurate, and the trigger is just amazing when it locks up as intended.
Is there anything I can do to get the crane to shut tighter without sending it back or taking a $200 gun to a gunsmith?
Thank you.
