My Sport 1 is a tack driver out to 200 yards.

Thanks guys. Looks like I'll take a big hit if I sell now.

Guys, as much as I hate to do it, I need to raise some cash and the Smith Sport looks like the gun to go. Mine is an original with the 5R rifling and 1:8 twist. Any ideas on value on a site like gunbroker? I have looked and can only find history on the Sport II. Would they be about the same...

“for having the nerve to fix this revolver” The nerve to fix it or to fire it after he was done, lol

Well, Tlay did some amazing repair work and got this little revolver working again! It had a lot of problems but he found a way to get it working again. He test fired it yesterday! It hasn’t fired a shot in 50 years until yesterday! And now when I open the safe and see this gun sitting...

If you have a cylinder stop for this gun please let me know, we now believe that is one thing it does need. Thanks

Thanks Gary. No nothing changed. My guess is it was already broke and happened to fall out when I took the grips and side panel off. Free spins when hand not on trigger and barely touches when trigger fully depressed. Maybe more of the broken spring is in there preventing the cylinder stop...

Do you think this broken spring could keep the cylinder stop from rising up high enough to keep the cylinder from being locked by the cylinder stop?

So, is that spring the likely reason the cylinder stop isn't working properly or are there likely two or more issues I have to solve? Thanks

OK As we work through this, the gun may have several problems. LOL Took the grips and side plate off. As I played around with the trigger, the stop is at its high point when the trigger is fully pulled and it is then high enough to almost catch, but not quite. It will scrape the bottom of...

Just a short update. My local gunsmith said he contacted First Jack for a cylinder stop and he didn't have one for this gun. Also, with the top broke open, when I pull the trigger you can see the cylinder stop moving up and down but it never clears the floor of the frame enough to make...

He said he couldn't find one for the make and model of my gun. I feel sure he didn't look in places like this. He probably called the guy or guys he always calls and they said they didn't have it. I'm in central Alabama.

Does he repair guns or just supply the needed parts?

Thanks for the advice, but I am very much an idiot when it come to mechanical things. I can change the oil in my car but that is about it. I tried to work on two guns in my life (more than just cleaning) and had to pay someone to put both back together. That is why in one of my above posts I...

Thanks very much for the parts diagram. That should help a lot. And if I can definitely determine the problem I will be back for needed parts. Thanks for all the help

Before I take it apart myself, is there anywhere I can download a parts diagram so I will know what I'm looking for and more importantly, how to get it back together? Are there any specific questions I should ask the gunsmith that had it apart to help me move forward. I can call him tomorrow...

Thanks for the help everyone. Serial Number is 138184 My father died in 2000 and neither gun has been fired since then. That is why I used the old pic, they just sit in the safe. The cylinder stop hasn't worked for as long as I can remember (40-50 years). The 32 S&W is in awesome condition and...

I have had it disassembled, checked and cleaned by a qualified local gunsmith. He said everything but the cylinder stop is working properly. He said the cylinder stop wasn't broke, just worn down by age and use. That is what he said, I have no idea, lol

Guys, my dad left me this old "Lemon Squeezer" and the cylinder stop is worn to the point that it won't even catch at all. Other than that the gun works fine. Any ideas on where to find a cylinder stop for that gun? In the pic it is the one on the bottom if that helps any. The gun on the top...

Well, finally got the gun back. 2 1/2 months on a brand new gun for a warranty claim on a PC gun. Note inside said "replaced firing pin". Nothing else in the box. No "sorry for your trouble", no free hat, no $10 coupon from their store. Nothing. LOL Haven't had time to shoot it yet but...
