Enfield revolver help needed
Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2012 8:17 pm
Anybody out there taken their Enfield No.2 Mk.I revolver apart?.
When breaking the gun open, my extractor extracts....but does not retract again, unless you pull it out by hand & then let it snap shut, or bang it open real real hard. Shouldn't need to do either, & it is totally not like my other Enfield Mk.I** or Webleys.
So I found online a 1947 W,O,. booklet entitled "Identification List of Parts", & there is one part that I cannot figure out where it goes, & that is, "Spring, extractor lever". I figure it must be connected in some way to the, "Pin, joint", "Lever, auxillary" & "Lever, extractor", but I cannot figure out where it is & I am a bit leery of knocking out the "Pin..." until I know if this spring is going to zoom out & head for parts unknown.
So has anyone taken this bit apart, & did you have any trouble in doing so?. Any tips?
