Gentlemen,
In one of my weaker moments I purchased a corroded, roached Colt Diamondback 4" 38. I figured that a Diamondback truck-gun would be pretty cool.
The seller was very open and honest about the issues that it had. Like a dork I bought it. Brought it to a local fellow who has one of American Handgunner Top 100 Gunsmiths in his employ.
Had him bead blast it and blue it. Changed the horrid grips. Also was going to have him fix the mechanical issue that it has.
When cycling single action, when the hammer is pulled, the cylinder "clicks" into proper alignment. Double action, the momentum of the cylinder brings it all the way to proper indexing.
Of course I should not have bought a Colt with an issue but hey...I was soft hearted for the old abused gun.
Thirteen months later he had not fixed it. I went by today, paid for the blue job and am now looking to fix it.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem is?
And BTW, ridicule away. I totally screwed this one up. Feel free to make fun.
