ok, I am new here and i have searched all over this site trying to find an answer to no avail. Can someone help?
I bought this rough rider 22 mag from a guy that needed money for $20 a couple months ago and it didnt come with a base pin so i made my own for the time and it worked great but i was leary and it would try to fall out from time to time so i ordered a base pin and also a 22 lr cylinder while i was at it from heritage. when i put the new base pin in everything is good and tight, better than before, but when you try to pull the hammer back the part that locks the cylinder in after every revolution will not go down all the way fast enough. now that being said, I can pull the base pin out of the locking pin say about 1/8 in. and it will rotate smoothly and without fail but push it all the way in the there is about a 1/16 that stays up on that locking mechanism that stops it from rotating. I have took the gun COMPLETELY apart and cleaned and lubed up everything and I really dont know what to do from here. I know its a old heritage gun and all the parts are working good but why is it not going quicker that the lever that spins the cylinder.

Jul 25, 2013#2 When you say it does not drop fast enough, is it leaving a drag line around the cylinder? Or binding the cylinder? If you work the hammer quickly does it still happen? Or only when worked slowly? also check that the cylinder is aligned with the barrel while the cylinder is locked in place. I have a cleaning rod that is a snug fit down the bore. If it will slide down the bore and through the cylinder you are aligned. These can be retimed but it takes time. DR

Jul 25, 2013#3 It will not drop down enough to let it turn at all binding it. I can pull the pin out a little and it allows more play in the cylinder and thus allowing it to spin and i shot it today doing that method so i know it all aligns up. it happens no matter what i do it seems like fast or slow. you pull the hammer back and watch the cylinder start moving and the it starts to drop down but doesn't go down far enough to allow it to finish turning thus making the hammer impossible to pull back.

Jul 27, 2013#4 The cylinder stop on mine is made of stamped sheet steel. "If" it were mine I would bend it slightly down. [ and I do mean slightly ]. A few thousands seems to make the differance between working and binding. If yours is not sheet steel then a little sanding is in order. Good luck DR

Jul 28, 2013#5 I found out that mine is an older 96' model and the cylinders are a different lengths said heritage firearms when i called them, but that dont explain why the mag cylinder that i originally had doesn't revolve right. yes i believe it is stamped sheet metal but it has rib like structure that is going to make it harder to bend. and will that affect the cylinder lock up once the hammer is all the way back and the pin is allowed to go back up to lock the cylinder? the weird part is that i can pull the trigger while pulling the hammer back and it will revolve perfectly then. the pin drops down enough to let the cylinder revolve, why is that and could that be a detail that suggests another part that needs to fixed in order to let it revolve correctly. Heritage said it would cost at lest $30 ($15 ship there $15 back) to get it "timed" right not including parts but i just am not to crazy about sending my gun off in the mail.

Jul 28, 2013#6 That sounds like the best way to get it timed to me! I send guns all over the country, So dont let that stop you. DR

Jul 30, 2013#7 If it helps, I've sent my big bore in and had no issues with the shipping, receiving, or them handling it at all. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
