Glad you got it back so promptly. I hate to hear people who have something break and need customer service, but always nice to hear when they get good customer service.

The gun has a date stamp [CN], which I researched and found to be 2015. Is that too old for the upgrades? Thanks.

No to both. Thanks for your help. It's great to have knowledgeable people here to offer advice and support.

There guns normally don't break . That means there is no lines in front of you . Plus it is only a 10 min job to replace the trigger and cylinder stop spring is my guess on the part that failed or spring retainer screw came loose .

I'm going to take that to the bank! But, I'm also going to learn how to fix in it ten minutes if it does.

Here is a good video on Colt and there clones disassembly and at 3:31 shows the flat spring that normally breaks in SA guns . There is NEW design wire spring that replaces the flat spring without any mod to gun and should replaced in all Colts and there clones . I didn't watch the whole video but put all screws back in same holes . There is 3 different length in the grip frame that are the same thread and look the same .

Sir H I had a thread on the old forum about replacing the cylinder arm spring on my Heritage Rough rider.

It wasnt too tough a job, but I had to take EVERYTHING apart to get to it. Fortunately there was a YouTube that showed the whole process start to finish. Otherwise I don't think I could have done it.

From what I found, if the cylinder is spinning with the hammer down, then it's the cylinder arm spring. (what happened to my gun).

The other spring (trigger spring?), on the rough rider, holds that little nub on the bottom of the cylinder in place when the hammer is cocked.

That is the total extent of my knowledge on SA's LOL

Here is the video I used as a guide. The kid butchers the screws but does a good job IMO of showing the process.
