I am not a gunsmith but I can usually get things working or repaired but this revolver is a preacher friend of mine and I have gone over everything I know to see what is going on.
With the cylinder locked up, closed the cylinder still rotates. With the hammer back/down you can still spin the cylinder. I know it’s similar but different from the steel frame revolvers as the screws appear to take a key that has a hole milled out of the center. I’m not so sure it doesn’t take a part on the bottom of the frame to keep the cylinder from spinning. I posted a couple pictures for reference.
I was wanting to get this detent out and see if was gummed up?
