Hi all. I got a new hand assembly and bolt/trigger spring.
After replacing (same happens with original parts) the trigger does not engage when pulling back on the hammer. Basically goes straight to full lock and no movement on the trigger.
Not my first time assembling the revolver but thought I missed something and having a real blonde moment. Followed the steps as per http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=137102&highlight=Colt+Type+Revolver+Disassembly but still no joy.
Any suggestions on how to resolve or photos etc pointing out the correct assembly. (did look at the pic in above thread but could not see exactly where spring sits on step to do comparison)
The spring is the same length as the original. Only difference is its thinner (basically 2 springs to make up thicker one and the tip on long finger bit more bent)
Thanks in advance.
