gcleaker, the crimped portion in the female barrel of this ejector rod assembly and the male part of the rod assembly recieves the crimp. I'll have it apart this week end and let you lnow what I find and the repair needed to return to service. paps
thanks glek, I am returning the pin from whence it came and leaving it alone. I'm not even thinking about asking for problems. The only I have now is the cylinder eject spring..........its crimped and cannot be unscrewed.
Ron I punched the pin out and it must index on the flat of the barrel instead of the pin........and your right there is some indication of diaelectric corrosion so I am going to return the pin and work with the frame as is, without barrel removal. Thanks for your knowledge and insight into these...
Rog.....the research I have done is pretty indepth, Italian made, mostly 32.. and a bunch were made for police I believe back in the early 70's that were 38 spl. alloyed frame. It's hard to find info today. very inexpensive I believe. paps
The barrels that are in alloy or for that matter steel framed revolvers that have a pin in the frame securing the barrel.............is a none removable barrel. I know thousands of my brothers and sisters that engrave did not know this. ( I'm wishing now) it was a learning experience for me...
this is good stuff right here gents........really opens the eyes to the length of time needed to perform such wonderful pieces. Thanks for sharing all. paps
Chris if you didn't go to the web site they have parts for sale and they are really nice people. Possibly to steer you to parts if they don't have any TOLI PAPS
Sorry my fine people. I just investigated Steve's web site and found what I was looking for . I would have to stripe it and have it recoated. I would rather re blacken or re blue. At least I can do that. Nickel is BAD stuff melted. Thanks for replay Mr. John.
