EMR Armi Sport 22 revolving carbine

[Pappy Hayes]

Not sure if this is the place to post this. I have EMF Armi Sport 22 cal Revolving Carbine that is my brothers. I am trying to remove the cylinder so I can clean it and I also need to get inside to look at the trigger/hammer spring. The hammer wont come down on the fireing pin. Not sure if my brother will remember how the cylinder comes out. He does not live close. I want to get it working for him. I am thinking about trying to talk him out of it since he is not able to get out and shoot anymore.

Greetings My Dear Monsieur Pappy -

With any luck, our good Hoofhearted will arrive to advise you in detail since I believe he has one.

However, since this is based on the Remington C&B frame, we know that the cylinder pin is pulled straight out along the barrel, and as we can see the cylinder pin is held in place by the wooden forearm, that will need to be removed first - it is most likely held in place by a screw.

hope this helps and perchance we will soon see Hoof

Professor I found the screw and removed the forearm. The small rectangle part you use to pull the pin has come loose from the pin. Not sure how I am going to get it out now. It seems stuck since. I tried grabbing the end with needle nose pliers but could not grip it tight enough.

Greetings My Dear Monsieur Hayes -
I have been so swamped as of late I have completely spaced that EOT is going on even as we speak. This it is likely that many of the local experts may be unavailable for a bit. However, since New Mexico is currently experiencing a heat wave driving the temps of Founders Ranch into the 100's perhaps I am not so envious....

back to your topic
I offer for your perusal and education this site:

http://www.time-slice.com/mohave.gambler/favorites/Remington/58_Rem_tuning/58_Rem_tuning.htm

which describes the dissasembly of a Rem 1858

and in the exploded diagram here:

http://www.cimarron-firearms.com/Parts/1858-new-army.htm

we can clearly see the cylinder  pin marked no. 21

now, on all my remmies, the end of the cylinder pin is visible in the baack of the frame when one cocks the revolver.
after ensuring the piece is unloaded, one could cock the hammer and gently try to drive the base pin forward, -or- if one does not have enough clearance carefully disassemble the parts,
1) remove trigger guard
2) remove stock (grips)
3) remove hammer, trigger and bolt screws
3a) remove trigger/bolt
3b) remove spring, trigger, bolt
4) remove mainspring screw & spring
5) now you can slide the hammer out (it can be tricky getting the hammer and hand back in the first time you do it)

and the back of the cylinder pin is clearly visible and accessible to attempt to gently drive the cylinder pin forward with a brass drift of the appropriate size.

hope this helps
