I have a Walker I bought to hang on the wall in my garage/disassemble for fun($25). It is pretty much a junker, kit w/ bad finish, not cleaned properly, etc.... I noticed when cocked, the cylinder continues to revolve about 1/4 inch past battery, as the hammer does not stop, and also continues a little further to the rear. The full cock locks up where it is supposed to.
After comparing this to my shooting revolvers and the exploded drawings, I can only guess that the pawl is not sufficiently engaging the notches to lock up the cylinder, thereby letting the hammer go past full cock, pushing the hand up to far, on and on. Am I right on this? I can't figure out what else could be wrong, and would like to know in case this happens to any of my other Colts.
Thanks, DC
