Hi everybody,

I just picked up and for free a Wesson Rifle .45 By Palmetto, it is a nice rifle but is something wrong inside, and I can't see what...
Does somebody have an exploded view or some picture/s?
The problem with this rifle is that the notches of the drum had been filed. And the other bad thing is that the fly doesn't stay in its place in the rail of the sear and jumps near the side of the case...
I can't see how it can happen, the axle of the fly seems good but, maybe, it's not the good one: could have been to be changed during filing or be filing too...
So, if somebody has some picture or exploded view, I'll take it with pleasure...

Thanks for reading.

Erwan.

I can't find a picture or rifle in Macronistan/Absurdistan.
 
is fly in backwards by chance?
Here, the fly is more or less in its theoretical place. In the full position of the hammer, normally it should stay in front of the trigger, but it is between the trigger and the wall of the frame and therefore it cannot work properly.
