Unfortunately, time has changed things and my hands don't work like they used to.

I can understand that.  I'm kinda in the same boat.

Hopefully your gunsmith will figure it out and get it running correctly soon. :-)

[Problem with old model Vaquero]

If it were mine, I'd take it completely apart, examining the parts as they came off, lubricate as normal, reassemble and see how it functions afterwards. 

I'd say its worth a try.

Both .45 Colt.  One with a 7 1/2" barrel and the other with a 5 1/2" barrel.
