Cylinder stopped locking up on clone revolver

From the marks on the cylinder at the stop notches it looks like your hand was trying to turn the cylinder too far. That in turn caused damage to your bolt also. That can be fixed by any competent gunsmith. Cylinder notches would need to be fixed. New bolt to replace worn one, re-timing and re-finishing.

Yep. The bolt top is badly chewed up. Cylinder has been over-throwing. Cylinder slots will have to be cleaned up. New bolt fitted and timing corrected.

 

Ol #4 will set it right!

 

Good luck, GJ

Key Hay,

 

You have a problem that can be fixed.

 

Too bad you let it go so far bad!

 

Give a call, I am only 18 miles away and shoot with you a bit.

Update:

Cimarron authorized the repair so it's off to their smith.

Final Update:

 

Cimarron's Gunmith had a new cylinder fitted and fixed the bolt. It's on it's way back to me! Gotta say I'm real happy with their warranty work!
