It left for Springfield on Saturday afternoon. I will get back here when there is more information to share. Thanks to All.

That is enlightening. Something We never thought of. We will see what happens next. He has the shipping lable. I appreciate Your post.

Thank You to all who have shown interest. I beleive that the owner will send it to Springfield. They will fix it but will they reveal the exact cause of the malfunction. Other than an invoice of parts replaced I am anxious to know and will share any information that they provide. Again, thanks...

Thanks for Your interest. The extractor star seems fine , loaded with snap caps, it opens, closes, loads ,and ejects just fine. Checked that the ejector rod is tight , counterclockwise , L/H threads.

Just now remembering, that day at the range, upon discovering that the rear sight screw and the sideplate screws were coming loose, also the cylinder latch screw was loose. We tightened it up so that it was tight to the latch bolt inside the frame. However , that bolt was loose inside the track...

Yes, a poor choice of words on my part. The plate was nicely seated, we used the gentle tapping method with a soft handle to dislodge it. No signs of previous abuse apparent.

Thanks to all who replied. There is no trigger stop in place, the slots on the frame and underside of the trigger are empty. We did not pry it open. Used the tapping method. The sideplate was not loose. The screws were just a bit loose.

The sideplate screws were somewhat loose but the plate still needed the usual persuading to open up. Will visit there this weekend. Perhaps will get the hammer out and see what the underside looks like. Try to drift that pin back in. Only protruding very little but enough to gouge the inner of...

Trigger jammed 66-1 Thanks for Your reply . Yes , that makes sense , it would habe been obvious. Actually, a few times, with the sideplate open, we could release the trigger and hammer. Cycle it a few times, trying to see what looked abnormal. Everything seemed fine, then would jam up again.

Thank you. Nothing obvious from the sideplate open view. We didn't remove any guts. You may have something there. If the hammer stud is broken on the non visible side. I don't have the gun in front of me now. I think that is taking a trip to Springfield Mass. Thanks again.

66-1 locked up Thanks for your reply. That screw is tight. We removed the sideplate, the only thing we saw wrong looking was a semi circular wear mark on the inside of the sideplate that corresponded to rubbing a pin on the hammer which connected it to the sa/da sear. It did not look bad...

Hi, my friend's 2 1/2" 66-1 was working fine. Then some light primer strikes. Then the hammer felt like something was causing too much resistance to pull back. Finally, with the hammer cocked, the trigger would not budge. It was locked up. Any ideas ?
