Hello again,
I got my hands on this customer return revolver, it had multitude of problems right out of the box, like timing,rough irregular action etc. I'm maybe interested in it for a very low price. Too expensive to repair,sending overseas is not an option either.
So I took it for a test.
The sights don't align because the barrel is not completely turned in, front sight is on the right. Shoots left even with rear sight maxed to the right.
Do I have to remove the barrel first to screw it back in,remove a tad material to help it go deeper? Or can I just try to turn it more from here? How do I know this is the limit,how do I know the force? It may not go any deeper and that's why it was left like this.
I have never removed a revolver barrel. I have the nylon support blocks for a couple of frame sizes but not for this one.
It needs an oversize hand,too. A gunsmith had said it needs a new cylinder to begin with, my range rod says it is ok so I'm here just wondering is repairing/trying to repair this is worth the effort or not.
Thank you.
