Need ID help with a .22

[4K2022]

I can still take it back as I am buying it from a family member. I am going to shoot it and see how it does. Wanted it as a shooter anyways.

I’m sure you’ll be Very Happy with this “K 22 !! I would expect to hear the same from any of my family members. Looks to me like the issue has been resolved, to some extent.
The last two photos and an earlier one posted by (?) show the chamfer around the perimeter of the cylinder and the “matching chamfer on the Frame Lug. A little excessive end play from a lot of use ejecting cartridges,,, ( ejector rod is well used) against the frame lug will “shine the blue off. No problem

The Cylinder Stop is the little springy thing inside and on the bottom of the frame window when the cylinder is opened. It’s supposed to Stop the rotation of the cylinder at PERFECT alignment with the barrel. Not an easy task.

I see excessive deformation on cylinder caused by the cylinder stop. PERFECT alignment is achieved with that “little springy thing. The cylinder stop has many precise dimensions.

But first the cylinder needs to turn. The ratchet (star) should maybe also have the serial number on the underside and the yoke. The yoke screw looks great,, it doesn’t look like it’s been in and out too many times.

Ah yes, cylinder stop. I’m learning…

The ratchet serial matches as well. The last 2 digits of the cylinder serial are somewhat visible, and they match the others, so I do believe this is the original cylinder.

I didn’t notice them in the low lit garage, but when I was told the price of $250, I just wanted to get it home to look it up in the standard catalog.

For that price you cannot go wrong. I would pull the trigger and go from there.

This pretty much explains the process of how we get here on a worn gun. Keith Brown's explanation on how it can happen to a newer gun is very helpful as well.

Here is Larry Potterfield, (grab your India stone):

Now that we agree what a Cylinder Stop is,,

I suggest not to remove ANY metal. Just old dirt and dust! In your photo the hand is visible in the slot, it too is spring loaded and looks like it is original. If it works don’t fix it
And your photos are great

I’m sorry but NO

So you’re saying just clean it up good and it looks mechanically right?

yes
Looks great to me, but I can’t feel it Or HEAR it.
The pattern of strikes look great, and cocking the hammer will allow you to check rotation and lock up of all 6 cylinders.
This gun has been fired a lot and the hand is as worn as the ratchet. If the misfiring appears you will know where to begin.
The photo shows the “friction point where the ratchet spins on the breach face when the center pin is locked. I would expect end play in the cylinder while the hammer is cocked.
The cylinder to barrel gap should be checked, do you have feeler gauge? I’m fascinated with how these work at all sometimes.

Edit.. if you have a feeler blade lay it on the center part of the ratchet. The center circle Should be proud (taller) than the teeth.
A little wear here and a little over there and things quit working

I would be proud to own that gun, especially at the price you paid! Good on you, it will give you many years of enjoyment. Don’t listen to the curmudgeon crowd here.

She seems to shoot good at 15 yards and after the sunset!

I personally would like to stay on K Brown’s good side.
And having Handejector mention 6 or 8 guns is?
Awesome, to me!

The Op apparently knows what to do with it when it does go off!
Agree enjoy,, buy a book ,, enjoy,,, replace hand,,, enjoy
