A few weeks ago I posted
My latest .38 DA 4th model. Looks great, but... some pictures of a .38 DA I had purchased that was missing a cylinder stop and trigger spring. Since then I have acquired both of these parts and managed to install them. The revolver now functions, mostly, but I have still have 2 problems.
First, with the hammer down the stop does not project far enough from the frame to lock the cylinder. It stops it from moving clockwise, but not counter-clockwise. The top of if is a bit worn, so that my be the problem. Pulling the trigger causes all the right things to happen and with the hammer all the way back the cylinder locks nice and tight.
The second problem is that after releasing the hammer the trigger does not return all the way forward. I can push it forward against some friction, but it won't do it on itself. I reassembled the trigger guard a couple of times and I think I have the trigger spring right with one leg of the V pushing up on the trigger and the other pushing against against the guard.
Do these symptoms sound familiar? Any suggestions or words of wisdom?
Thanks
Howard
