Name of part in repro percussion revolver
A dumb (well, at least embarrassing) question: What do you call the piece in a reproduction Colt percussion revolver that reaches out to grab the cogs on the back of the cylinder so it rotates ahead when you cock the hammer? I should know, but I'm drawing a blank. Thanks.[:I]

Usually "hand", but sometimes also called a "pawl". Both are correct.[:)]
added: +1 on Uberti. I have found their guns and gunparts to be very good quality and closely, if not frequently exactly, interchangable with Colt.0 -
Item # 18 on diagram above. I need one, the spring on one of mine is broken. I got a replacement from Dixie gun works & it needs MAJOR reworking to fit. A quote I got from a local gunsmith was more than I originally paid for the pistol. I would like to just transfer the spring but I don't know if that can be done. 0 -
I've bought parts from Dixie that were off-dimension far enough as to be unuseable (couldn't be fitted). But I've bought a lot of parts from Cimarron, that I found were very superior. Not long ago, I rebuilt two black-powder vintage SAA's and an original 1860 Army using Cimarron (Uberti) parts, that actually were exact for the specific the guns. 0 -
This same question came around about 2 weeks ago. 0
