I tried looking at the FAQ here, but the pics that must've once accompanied it are gone. I think this issue is related to the hammer block getting displaced when trying to coordinate installing the sideplate.
From the top, I took the sideplate off to polish the exterior and install a 15# rebound spring. When I took the guts out, the trigger stop rod skedaddled across the floor and I still haven't found it, but I read that these are mostly useless unless precision fit and more worthwhile for a target gun. I reassembled everything and I can, with sideplate removed, get the cylinder to index if I keep the hand from slipping out of its slot with a finger. Never took the cylinder stop or bolt parts out.
Any ideas? I am sure this isn't that hard, but it seems a pain to fit the sideplate with its top "finger" extension and not knock the hammer block out of place. Anyone have a good pictorial DIY guide?
Doing a little reading, I think the I may not be getting the hand on right to catch the torsion spring. Once the trigger, rebound slide and hammer are in, would this require complete removal and starting from scratch? I can't see its location at this point.
