Hey all:
First post here. I've had a 629-1 for a few years now that I use for deer hunting. Well, I try anyway, hasn't happened yet with this hardware.
Anyway, I've been having an issue with the cylinder release sticking. I took it all apart for a good cleaning, found some good videos, and got it all back together. The issue isn't with the bolt, it's with the center pin. With the cylinder off and in my hand, it's sticky and hangy when I try to push the contacting knob that contacts the bolt on the rear side of the cylinder. Seems like a lot of folks talk about the plunger in the barrel lug, but this seems like it's the extractor rod and center pin assembly. Once you get it broken loose, it's fine and moves freely. But the initial push is tough. It seems that the extractor rod and the center pin are screwed together, but I'm not sure how I'm going to hang on to them to disassemble without marring both or either of them. Anyone got any tips?
Also, I've now got another issue. When I put all the guts back together, the hammer now has a very slight hang on what is apparently called the "bolt" or the slide mechanism that the thumb release is attached to. It can be overcome and it will cycle, but it's "hitch" and it wasn't there before. Very noticable on a DA trigger pull. Tips on this? Pretty sure it went back together correctly, so this one has me a bit stumped as to why it isn't riding now where it was riding before.
Thanks in advance!
