Egyptian Remington No 1 Rolling Block rifle woes.
Did a down and dirty breakdown the other day and looked it over, put it together and wiped it down and all was good and everything worked.
Today broke it down, to clean it, figure out what all it needed (Firing pin, pin to hold it in, rotary extractor and screw and firing pin retractor) and to clean the gunk out of the cleaning rod channel. All is going well and I'm having fun, went to put it all back together and all goes to hell.
No matter how I put it back together the hammer won't go into full cock. I've taken it apart probably 50 times and put it back together with the same results. I spent 6 hours trying to get it working and it's still not cooperating with me.
I watched a dozen videos, and it doesn't help.
Anyone got any ideas what the hell is going on? If you need pictures of parts let me know, and I'll get them. I finally called it a night on it, as I was ready to use it as a club on the driveway. So I knew it was time to walk away, regroup, and ask questions.
