Look at the area surrounding the axis screw hole and you'll find that it's raised slightly. This is one of the outer edge frictioning surfaces. I can tell you from hard learned experience that revolvers just don't respond to a simple parts change mechanic. In fact, there's no such thing in the world of revolvers. Certainly not the revolver world that I have experienced. Every part is selectively fitted to start with and then fine hand fitted afterwards. I mention the trials and tribulations of revolvers, albeit our old Enfields (but same meat, different gravy in essence) in our workshops. To actually go through fitting a hammer or a trigger or a pawl or a cylinder stop would take hours and hours. Then you've got to poker the cylinders and....... and..... It took 3 months as apprentices to master these, Brownings and two simple signal pistols. Definately NOT for the feint hearted.
I mention these trials and tribulations in a book by Mark Stamps........ Revolvers...... Good when they're going good, but when they're going bad, I didn't want them on my work bench!

I have just got this one and it is the opposite, functions faultlessly in single action but occasional light strike in double action, need to strip and give it a good clean.
