Any way to fix a cylinder Stop on 38 top break Revolver 4th model, no parts seem avai

[Bandyman]

Can a broken cylinder stop pivoting spring type be fixed? I can not find any parts to replace it. If someone knows a different spring stop that will work please tell where to get it. I have tried a J frame stop and it will not work.

If (IF!) Chris Hirsch is still doing gunsmithing, he works on antiques only, and is a WIZARD!!

Google Chris Hirsch Gunsmith for contact.

Yes! If we are talking about the Safety Hammerless. In my experience, they have sometimes been just slightly too thick and need to be sanded on a flat plate like a piece of glass to fit the cylinder stop slots. Otherwise, they fit and function perfectly. I feel that each individual fit is based upon the (+/-) tolerances at the factory and nothing that Jack First could do to make them all fit.
