ALERT-IOF REVOLVER
Posted: Sun Jan 10, 2010 7:56 pm
Friends ,new IOF Revolver with firing pin installed in frame and flat hammer is a getting cylinder lock up . We were testing this revolver toady as one of the friend has recently got a new piece . After firing just 6 rounds of iof cartridges the firing pin got fixed i.e protuded outwards and stuck therefore locking cylinder .
This has happened as some dust particles has jammed the spring behind firing pin, after using WD -40 and cleaning the complete area it started functioning again but this is just first aid and i am sure this problem will repeat as we suggested this guy to file a letter for change of revolver.
Older design iof revolver with firing pin on hammer was much safer , TRANSFER BAR SAFETY is a good design but with bad quality spring and workmanship this can land you in false position.
I KINDLY REQUEST all the guys having this flat hammer type iof revolver to fire at least 50 rounds and check the performance for safety of self and loved once.
