Most posts to those 3 comms fail, but sometimes that’s lemmy errors. Anyway.
Rough Rider .22 revolver. Shells on the right are spent, left are unfired. Cylinder won’t rotate after the 3rd shot because the shells deform and poke up. Hell is that? It’s like they fire, bounce back and crumple, which doesn’t seem physically possible.
Sure seems like that’s happening when shooting it. Tested 5 cylinders, .22 and .22WMR, all the same results. Scarily, I can feel some back blast from the more powerful .22WMR, which again shouldn’t be possible.
Took it apart for some deep cleaning the other night, didn’t see anything weird, put it back together. Still fails. And this is the 3rd such gun I’ve owned, not my first rodeo.
Got me in the zone! Testing today and the cylinder pin wasn’t seating tight. Tried to tighten the release button, already tight, seemed good for a minute.
Fired 6 rounds, but it got sticky. Same issue, but not as bad. Too tired to mess with it more tonight, but the cylinder is indeed moving forward on the cylinder pin axis.
You are now my rubber duck.
