Revolver cylinder stuck closed...

[cidirkona]

I saw a Charter Arms Undercover 38 special 5 shot today at a pawn shop in decent condition for $250 and talked the guy down to $200... put 100 rounds through it today at The Silo and now getting home to get it out to clean it, the cylinder seems to be stuck closed. I can't swing it out. I push the lever foward, but it just won't open! Any ideas?

HA, nevermind, I figured it out. The little rod that comes out the front of the cylinder had started to come unscrewed, so when I pushed the release button forward, the rod would hit the front of it's little pocket and not let it open any further...

Well, um... thanks. Lesson learned (this is my first real revolver).

Beat me to it, I was going to tell you that's what was wrong.
Had that happen too
You cannot figure out why it doesn't work:banghead:

you might want to put some thread lock on it so it doesn't unscrew again.

[WINK] I've noticed that hardly ever happens with pretend revolvers. [/WINK]

Oh, and I have a revolver, but it's a black powder deal and I have yet to get up the boys to actually trying it oiut...
