US revolver co.
I just received a US Revolver co. revolver. It seems to be .22 cal I know nothing about this revolver and would love to know more. I have dismantled the gun and all the parts seem to be in working order except that I cannot remove the drum. The lever moves fine but the pin does not come out. Is it threaded? the end of this pin seems to broken off(just my guess). The revolver is in rough shape but I think it is rebuildable. I just need more info about it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
