NOTE: For improved performance the Hammer Link should be assembled to
the hammer with the hook-opening positioned upward (towards the
hammer).
A gun owner can readily change the hammer link to the ‘pointing upward’
position. Use proper size punch to drive out the hammer cross pin. Remove
the hammer link and reposition it. Then, carefully hammer in the cross pin
so that it is flush with both sides of the hammer. The pin must not protrude
from either side!
For those who would prefer the link to be repositioned by the factory, send
the hammer only via Insured Mail to the Newport, New Hampshire Service
Department. Attach a tag to the hammer showing your name and address
and the words “Please reverse link”.
REASSEMBLY
AGAIN, BE CERTAIN REVOLVER IS UNLOADED!
Before starting reassembly, be certain that all components and the inside of
the frame are thoroughly clean. In particular the tongue on the front of the
trigger guard and its mating recess in the frame must be completely clean.
1. Replace cylinder and crane assembly in frame and close cylinder.
2. Hook front of trigger guard into recess in frame (See Figure 11). Align
pawl in its recess in the frame and be sure transfer bar is in correct
position in rear of firing pin (See Figure 12). Using mainspring lever,
withdraw trigger guard latch and swing trigger guard into position in
frame. Then allow latch to re-engage. If solid resistance is felt when
swinging trigger guard into frame, or if trigger guard will not lock into
position, re-check position of pawl and transfer-bar (See Figure 12).
NOTE: At this point in reassembly trigger should function to rotate and
lock the cylinder. Pull the trigger a few times, returning it to its forward
position by hand, to check proper functioning, as always with the r
evolver
pointed in a safe direction.
