![]() ![]() If the hammer is c0cked, you will have hell getting the mainspring back in.OK, the time for denial has passed, and it’s all Iver Johnson’s fault. ![]() Make sure the hammer is in the 'at rest' or fired position when you replace the mainspring. Be careful when you replace the mainspring. The extractor, ejecor rod and cylinder should be one assembly if it is like my old gun. Cylinder shoud come off by unscrewing it to the left. If ya don't get it in right, the ejector won't work. If ya do take it off be carful with the sisk that controls the ejector. If ya just get the trigger guard off and the trigger return spring is broken, that is as far as ya really have to go.Īs far as taking off the top break assembly. Mine had a small plate on top of the frame that came off after drifting atiny pin out, but the hammer was too big tocome out of it. Cant remember if it came out the bottom of the grip or trigger area. Hammer would be the last thing out after removing the hammer screw. It has no hammer to hit if it is dropped. Can't remember if that model had the 'hammer the hammer transfer bar in it like the external hammer guns did. If you do, the hand and the hand spring will come out also. You will not have to take out the pin that holds the trigger/cylinder stop unless you are having other problems. it can be replaced at that point and the gun reassembled. My old gun had the broken piece still in it. You should be able to see the trigger return spring at the front end of the trigger guard after the guard is removed. I am sure it will be a hell of alot harder on the small frame. With the gun upside down, drift them out with a small punch. IIRC, there are 2 pins holding the trigger quard. Slide it out the side at the bottom of the grip noting where it goes at the top where the hammer has a place for it. It should have a leaf type instead of coil spring. If they won't fix it and ya want to try the IJ, Remove the grips. I just got alot slower at doing it with the freaking glaucoma. I just got use to fixing stuff I got at the shows as quickly as I could to turn them over. Bore and cylinders are sharp with no rust or pitting. Got this IJ hammer model in as boot in a swap. I have picked up a few of the IJs and H&Rs in the past year. Just has to have what ya need in it and ya have some spares. By the tire you pay shipping and new parts cost, you may get all ya need front another gun for less bucks. If you can not find a part, you may try buying a whole gun off auction or at a gunshow to get parts. I eventually got tired of fixing stuff on it and got a J frame snub. I gas welded it up and cut new notches by hand using a file. I wore out the rachet on the extractor star later and could not get one. I can't remember for sure, but it may have been held in place by a screw held under the front end of the trigger guard. The other end went in a notch at the front of the trigger. IIRC, it was wedged under the front end of the trigger guard and the frame. They did not have the trigger spring so I mage one out of some thin spring steel. I managed to find a new barrel for it at Numrich. Trigger spring broke on it and he quit using it in the 60's. It had been my dad's BUG to an Official Police in the 50s. I inherited one hammerless such as yours, but in the larger frame, 5 shot. If the trigger can not be manually returned forward, there are other problems. I am assuming the trigger does return forward if you push it and is not locked in the rear position? If it returns, then it is as PshootR said, it just needs a trigger teturn spring. ![]()
