Colt is trigger pulled, hammer down.
Where exactly is Smith's?
a) at rest
b) trigger pulled, hammer down
c) Hammer at full cock
Was playing with my M66 and GENTLY putting a cleaning rod down the barrel. At rest or with trigger pulled, it slides down with no catch on cyl face.
If I ....manipulate....the cyl to extremes, it will catch a small bit.
Not having a bore size rod, I .....GENTLY....angled rod so it touched muzzle at one side and rear of barrel on other side with other end. Same thing at top and bottom.
I could feel a catch (minor) in almost all positions of abc.
But the TIGHTEST cyl lockup is at full cock.
Now a catch should mean that the cylinder hole is WITHIN the bore, right?
Can't figure out how to tell if the bullet would catch on the BARREL cone since can only get rod in from front.
Am I being confusing or just confused?
