I had a family member bring me an old Single Single Six that had clearly seen better days. The hammer is blocked somehow and won’t cock. If you remove the cylinder it can be cocked IF you pull the transfer bar back so it does not hit the pin while rising. With the cylinder installed, it won’t even cock far enough for the transfer bar to move.
One thing I noticed is the cylinder is full of pin strikes in areas there shouldn’t be (see pic). Considering it has a transfer bar I have a hard time figuring out how these strikes can happen.
Before I spend a fortune at Numrich hoping to get lucky, what do the experts think may be going on?
Also, how does this thing have a transfer bar while being a *three screw* model? I thought that’s what sepparated the old’s vs new’s...
