Borrow my fathers barrel wrench and closed up the cylinder gap (was larger than .035), set it to .004. Â Called DW for parts and they mailed me a new hand (stainless it looks, not blue like the original 14-1 part). Â It looked larger than the old one, thicker, but measuring both came out @ .110-.111 thickness, but the new one didnt have the small notch cut out of it. Â Obviously wasn't cycling properly (would rotate the cylinder then get stuck without being able to fully cock the hammer back). Â So I used my knife sharpeners to form my own notch as cleanly as I could. Â The old hand measured .092Â thick where the notch was, the new one I took down to .098 before it would fully rotate the cylinder and allow the hammer to cock back. Â Is there anything else I need to look for to make sure it is set correctly?

I fit a  hand on my 15-2 and it worked well at first. Every once in awhile the trigger would fail to return. I found I had to take a little more material  off of the side of the hand to keep it from sticking. It's been fine since then though.Â
