The posted solution concerns the handspring(pawl?)being too light. Again reading the manual, with a light handspring would that not have an effect on the ability of the hand to index around correctly (short) rather than index properly which causes the bolt to "catch" the cylinder properly. That is, assuming the hand is of the proper length. Causing a cylinder to "overrotate" seems to be a bolt problem rather than a hand problem. My Colts spin (almost) freely, yet I have never had an indexing problem as described in the post. Some guns are timed so that if you cock them very slow the bolt will drop and the cylinder will stop just before the bolt enters the slot. And... if the hammer struck the side of the primer (couple hairs off center) the cylinder would not be locked and if the bullet enters the forcing cone a little off, would that not force the cylinder into lockup position? Sounds like the weather, religion, or negotating a cell phone contract. 1 Jack B Nimble 06-29-2001 03:15 PM ET (US) Over rotation was one of the things I was worried about when I had the free spin pawls installed. The manufacturer assured me that the cylinders would only rotate when the loading gate was open. Turns out they were right.	Upgrade to PRO Upload pictures, personalize your board, and more!
