Single-Sixer
I recently bought a new Single 10 stainless and took it to the range last Friday. First two cylinders full went just fine as I corrected the sight settings. On the next loading the cylinder was becoming very sticky and did not want to turn easily. I closed the loading gate and found everything to be frozen up - I could not cock the hammer nor turn the cylinder! This was with the loading gate closed or open! The lock would drop when the gate was opened but it made no difference.
I removed the cylinder from the gun and unloaded it - everything moved freely with the cylinder out of the gun (hammer and trigger.) I took it back to the club house and sprayed some WD-40 (cause that's what was there) into the pawl slot. Put the cylinder back in, everything worked and I shot two more cylinders full and then it froze up again.
I took it home and disassembled it and looked for burrs or such, added some grease here and there and went to the range again Sunday - the same thing happened again.
Two different types of ammo are involved - Federal and Win Power Points - same with either. The gun was brand new - has around 60 rounds thru it total.
What the heck is binding??
