My Toy
Bearcat
Have an older GP-100 that the cylinder wouldn't carrier up and lock on a couple of chambers. I'm fitting a new pawl and have gotten to the point where three consecutive chambers will carry up, lock and pass a range rod but the other three won't. The pawl is still to wide on these three chamber ratchet pads. I'm thinking if I stone enough off of the pawl to get the three remaining ratchet pads to work with the new pawl the first three chambers (actually their ratchet pads) will not carry the cylinder far enough to pass the range rod.
I remember reading in Kuhnhausen's shop manual on Smith and Wessons he talked about stoning unequal ratchet pads to get a Smith with unequal ratchet pads to be able to pass a range rod in all chambers.
Has anyone on this forum ever performed this on a GP-100?.
