That would be one of the frame pins I was talking about. I have a bunch of them. It is easy enough to knock them out to the right and install new ones. It may be that one was installed too deep and a little tap to push it out a smidgeon, reassemble, then tap it back would solve the problem if that is it.

3ric, it DOES look like the frame pin holding the trigger is longer than maybe it should. I would have to compare it to a gun of mine. Maybe the wrong pin was used. They are different lengths.

I’ve contacted CZ for repair and filled out the paperwork. I’m waiting to hear back on the next step.

This is very interesting! Never thought of an out of alignment upper crane leg. Let us know how it shoots when you get it back!

Wow, same here!
Looking forward to hearing how your Dan runs once you get it back.

Probably happened by someone Bogarting the gun. Flipping the gun clockwise to close the cylinder. VERY BAD.

I finally made it back to range yesterday after receiving my 15-2 back from DW. They fixed everything and cleaned. Let’s just say I couldn’t be happier with the revolver.
They re-centered the leg to fix the off center primer strike. Replaced the bolt to correct the timing and lockup.

Awesome news, Jay!! We’ve had some unusual cases in the past, but this issue has never come up before that I know of. So glad Kieth was able to make the repairs, and that you are finally able to fully enjoy your DW!

Any idea how that could happen? The guy was malfunctioning when I bought it.

Impossible to know for sure, but Ole Dog alluded to the possibility that it was extensively “Bogarted” (swinging the cylinder shut with a hard flick of the wrist like we sometimes see in those old movies from the 30’s). It could also have been dropped with the cylinder open, but that would likely have left a mark somewhere on the gun. The history of our DW’s we buy used is always a mystery. If my DW were a car, it would have four million miles on it, all drag racing. Really beat up, but I’ve been able to bring it back to very good working order with some helpful advice from other members here on the forum, and a lot of hard work. We’ll worth the effort.

Good info, thanks!
I’m just trying to prevent what someone else did.
