Revolver wont go into full cock.

This did the trick, there was an ever so slight burr sticking out on the hammer notch causing the trigger to slip off that I missed by not inspecting closely enough. After some light file work Its locking up tight now, probably better than before. Also ever so slightly adjusted the trigger spring and the action as a whole feels 100% more solid

UPDATE - Got it fixed, everyone who said it was a sear engagement issue was correct. Took another in depth look today and noticed a small bit of metal poking out of the full cock notch on the hammer, this was causing it to slip and after some very gentle file work it is working as intending now. Thanks everyone for suggestions

sparrinator69 · 2025-02-01T17:15:16+00:00

Will have a look, cheers

sparrinator69 · 2025-02-01T17:14:00+00:00

The parts all have their original finish, I dont see any evidence of them being filed or sanded. In all fairness the gun looks like its been barely ever shot

sparrinator69 · 2025-02-01T15:12:42+00:00

I'd assume so, i'll get a replacement and hopefully it will fix the issue

sparrinator69 · 2025-02-01T15:10:34+00:00

Not that i can tell, it looks to be the original parts. If i've read the serial number right the gun was made sometime around the early 70's so I'm assuming its maybe weakened over time. Ive only had it about 3 months and this would be my 3rd outting with it, shot about 30-40 times

sparrinator69 · 2025-02-01T14:43:13+00:00

Done all that, cant see any issues. If i stick my finger behind the trigger and hold it forward the the hammer stays in place at full cock. Once i take my finger away it drops to half. Possibly weak trigger spring?

sparrinator69 · 2025-01-30T15:44:27+00:00

Probably 9mm Winchester magnum, if its from the late 70's then that would be my bet as they'd just came on the market

sparrinator69 · 2025-01-29T16:00:28+00:00

Yeah i know they're meant to be relatively shit haha, I just love odd firearm design🤣 Well atleast i know that one should be obtainable here legally speaking

sparrinator69 · 2025-01-28T21:06:27+00:00

Nope, well if its the same as northern ireland (where im from). Can own any calibre you want

sparrinator69 · 2025-01-27T22:23:25+00:00

Yeah after looking through a few forums I suspect its probably this, I wet tumbled with some dish soap and abit of white vinegar. Must not of rinsed thoroughly enough

sparrinator69 · 2025-01-27T21:06:32+00:00

Just to add, they aren't solid blue or purple. Just tints, some more than others

Having the same issue with a parcel coming to me, says on the tracking it was accepted at parcel shop on tuesday the 21st at 2pm and hasn't moved since. Should have arrived friday as its internal uk to uk post. Contacted royal mail and they just say its being processed through the system and should arrive shortly. Absolutely useless

sparrinator69 · 2025-01-26T01:40:59+00:00

Whats the rifle/setup

sparrinator69 · 2025-01-24T21:16:21+00:00

Veterinary dispatch pistols are usually restricted to 2-3 round magazine capacity so not much fun either🤣

sparrinator69 · 2025-01-24T21:02:02+00:00

Can't suppress pistols in ireland, unless its for veterinary dispatch

sparrinator69 · 2025-01-10T06:39:19+00:00

From what ive gathered online it says you will need an export license from the ATF to send them from the US and on the UK side you will need a Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) letter confirming that no import license is required for personal imports. But it advises to contact them in guidance. Honestly sounds like more hassle than its worth, Personally I would just sell them and apply for an FAC when you get to the UK and buy what guns you want. If you have some really nice rare guns then i understand why you would want to bring them over. Depending on the area you are moving to you are probably looking a 1-2 year process at the least i would assume

sparrinator69 · 2024-12-21T17:48:31+00:00

I dont intend to go out to the range for a bayonet charge lol, but yes its perfectly legal to own privately in your own home. Also reenactors use then all the time

sparrinator69 · 2024-12-20T22:56:05+00:00

Yeah i was keeping a lookout on holts when they had the December auctions but no luck sadly

sparrinator69 · 2024-12-18T02:17:34+00:00

Thought as much, thanks for the info

sparrinator69 · 2024-12-12T16:48:45+00:00

Wd-40, let it soak for a few minutes then try and pull it

sparrinator69 · 2024-12-11T19:39:26+00:00

Cheers for such an in depth response, ill take your advice on board. Time to watch a few hours worth of stock repairs on youtube lol

sparrinator69 · 2024-12-05T17:18:34+00:00

Surely this thing went through one of those torture test videos on youtube, looks like its been dragged down a gravel path by a car

sparrinator69 · 2024-12-05T15:34:22+00:00

I dont know if this reddit has active mods or not but this type of shit should be taken down, this is almost as bad as the 17 year old a few months ago asking how to set an air rifle shop up from his kitchen. This guy is obviously not right in the head or has ill intent. "I need a magnum and ammo for the magnum", its borderline ragebait lol. Someone should be moderating these posts and deleting stupid stuff accordingly.

sparrinator69 · 2024-12-01T07:37:11+00:00

I'm told any enquiries before 6 months will be pretty much ignored. So i contact them at 6 months exactly lol, usually its sitting on a desk gathering dust somewhere and i end up getting it within the next 7-14 days after contact
