Recently I acquired a Model 25-2 from the early 1960s, the action of which has been tuned. I know this because the trigger has an over-travel stud threaded into the back of the finger lever. The gun has two problems.
1. The hammer block is missing. The side plate is milled for the hammer block, and the rebound slide has the pin. If someone could help me locate a correct hammer block, I would be grateful.
2. Apparently the double action dog has been shortened. If I draw the hammer back in double action mode, but stop before releasing the hammer, and then slowly release the trigger, the hammer drops. This occurs just before the hammer comes to rest; there is insufficient force to fire a cartridge. Nevertheless, I may need to replace the dog. I'd like to hear opinions on this.
Thanks, Tom
