I have a High Standard Sentinel 9 shot .22 revolver. The small lever that rotates the cylinder to the next bullet is worn to the point it no longer reliably rotates the cylinder. I acquired a new part many years ago but have not found a gunsmith interested in repairing the revolver. The revolver is held together by pins that would need to be pressed out, the repair made, and the pins pressed back into place. Any thoughts on where I might find a gunsmith that would do this and what the cost might be?
Alternatively, and thinking outside the box, I think a good metalsmith/welder could very carefully build the small lever up with new metal, file it to shape, and voila, a repaired revolver without disassembly. Any thoughts on this approach?
