Miserable Son Of A...

The main reason that prick down Okeechobee way should die in a fire is the closing of comments on Tam's other blog.

Now I can't ask questions except indirectly here and hope she sees them.

I'd like to see how the linkage for the cylinder stop works in the top of the frame on that .32 Hand Eject.

    The cocking of the hammer causes the top of the hammer nose to cam the cylinder stop up and out of the cylinder's notch. Joseph Wesson cribbed the design from the earliest S&W single actions.

    It isn't specifically demonstrated in this cutaway from US Patent #573,736, but I think you should be able to see the parts' relationship.

    So cocking disengages it briefly so the cylinder can turn rather than engaging it as the cylinder reaches battery?

    That's my take on it. I'm not certain how the falling hammer doesn't pop the cylinder stop back out. S&W had already moved away from that design on their single action revolvers.

    Tam's email address is right on the sidebar of her main blog. Alternatively, you can friend her on Facebook and message her there.

      That's an entirely rational answer. There is no way I would EVER have thought of it.

      I can't see the forest for the trees most days.

    I'm thinking I need to call some family favors in soon. This stain is ticking me off.

    You and me both. And SYLG, too. It ain't fair. (Any clues as to if Uncle Sam's Misguided Children is still in business?
