I bought the revolver several years ago. I think I have fired 12 rounds out of it, otherwise in the safe. I've pulled it out a few times here and there to wipe it down or dry fire a few times. Always seemed to be fine.
Got it out of the safe today and started cycling the action a few times. Wasn't even dry firing. Just working the action, getting the feel, thinking about taking it shooting. Then all at once it wouldn't cock. Hammer down and stuck. Hmm. Pulled the cylinder out. It cocks just fine with no cylinder. Put the cylinder back, it won't cock. Open the loading gate and hand rotate the cylinder, feels fine, not sticking or binding or anything.
I have taken OM's apart to put the pre-conversion parts back in them. And I've taken apart NM's a few times... but it has been several years. I'm sure I can handle taking it apart... but what should I be looking for?
Thanks,
Gregg
