NAA 22-LLR problem

[Sashley]

I was trying to remove the cylinder from my naa 22llr and pulled the pin. Accidentally pulled the hammer back all the way. The cylinder is loaded and the cylinder will not turn or remove from the frame. Can anyone help me with what to do. The cyclinder moved slightly and is no longer lined up with the pin hole.

I think you should be able to carefully lower the hammer, by using the same method as putting the hammer into the safety notches.   Keeping pointed in a safe direction, holding the hammer with your thumb, and carefully releasing the trigger while keeping the hammer under control as you slowly lower the hammer.

I agree with LHB. Keep your thumb on the hammer while slowly pulling the trigger and allowing the hammer to move to its resting position. Very similar to putting the hammer into a safety notch.

Hopefully the cylinder is not loaded with live ammo. If it is be extra cautious of course. I would do it outdoors with the muzzle pointing at the ground.

Ahhhh .................. the Manual of Arms of a Single Action Revolver. Once you get used to it, it is no big deal but be very careful before that time ............. and then thereafter.
