So I got the bright idea to take apart my Rohm 66 22lr/mag for a good cleaning.
I got it apart just fine, but I can't seem to get the hand (the piece that rotates the cylinder) inserted properly so that it can push hard enough on the cylinder to rotate it reliably (when I tip the muzzle up and cock the hammer, the cylinder doesn't rotate).
Everything else seems to function fine, and the cylinder locks up. I have looked REAL close in the space where the hand-spring goes, and it seems I am seating it as deeply as possible.
Never had a problem putting a gun back together (even with my Ruger MKII and Auto 5), but then again I've never detail-stripped a revolver before.
Any ideas? I'll post some pictures once I get home.
