I recently picked up a nice, barely used New Model Single Six .32 Magnum that sometimes -- not always -- refuses to cock. When it does cock properly it's smooth as silk and locks up tight.
But about half the time the hammer comes back to about what would be the half-cock position in a three screw but refuses to go al the way. The locking bolt does not come up before the hammer stops.
I'm OK working on three-screw Old Models (which I much prefer) but I'm leery about going inside the New Models because the innards seem much more complicated.
Any and all suggestions appreciated.
