I read the "Do you strip your" thread with some interest, as doing so seems to have caused me a problem. I have a CVA Remington .31 pocket revolver, and after firing it the first time, I did, as is my usual routine, strip it down completely for cleaning. When I reassembled it, it was out of time. The bolt doesnt retract when the hammer is pulled back, so of course, the cylinder wont rotate. With the cylinder out of the revolver, the pawl and bolt seem to be operating as they should. The bolt is intact, both fingers unbroken and unbent. I knew to check this, because my Walker ate one of these, and I had to replace it.(I may be using the wrong terminology. By bolt I refer to the part of the action that engages the cylinder notches) Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
