You are fanning a Walker!??
You are talking about holding the gun with the trigger held back in one hand, and slapping the hammer back repeatedly with the other??
Fanning breaks things on any gun you do it to...they only did that crap in the movies!:banghead:
Italian parts, (even Uberti) cannot stand up long to that abuse!
There may be a combination of problems inside that gun if you have been fanning it much; the hand spring as previously pointed out, the base of the hand where it fits into the hammer could be galled or otherwise damaged, the bolt contact with the hammer and the cam on the hammer could even be messed up..Not to mention the rear of the cylinder where the hand contacts the teeth.
Parts will start bending or being damaged each time you fan it!
My guess is that you will have to take the gun completely apart and inspect the internals for any damage. Be advised that any of the replacement parts that you get from these companys,(VTI is an excellent source) will need some fitting or your timing will be off.
Oh yeah, and one more thing...stop fanning it!
Let me know what you find out.
