Hello,

I have troubles in the reassembly of my revolver.

This part wants to go up, pushed by the spring :

I think the spring is not in the good shape :

What is the name of this little part, which rotates the cylinder while pulling down the hammer ?

What is the name of this spring and are yours in the same shape ?

Thanks for your help.

That is the "hand spring" looks OK to me but I am no expert. Try reading this thread link it has a lot of great info.

The hand spring looks normal to me. It engages the hand with one end and pushes the cylinder while the other end is wrapped around the transfer bar that travels upwards. The hammer hits the transfer bar which hits the firing pin. It retracts after the hammer fall and prevents contact of the hammer and firing pin until the trigger is pulled again.

What a gold mine !

I know how to pass my next off-hours (days ?).

Wolff spring kit seems great, but do they ship oversea ?

I'm going to ask them.

Thanks a lot.

Shows what I know, I thought that hand spring looks bent. Here's one from EWK arms, Their left on the longer side20190505_205521.jpgImage Enlarger

The spring looks just fine to me. Yes the hand wants to push up a bit but it is held in place by the side plate when you put it back together. A little gun oil on the hand is recommended because the hand can rub ever so slightly on the side plate.
