RESEARCH PROJECT: BELT/RYDER REVOLVERS
Re: RESEARCH PROJECT: BELT/RYDER REVOLVERS
Hi C44L,
I have some informations for you :
Belt SA Model # 6012
(Serial number on frame and trigger guard has to be confirmed)
.36 caliber,
Round cylinder,
Barrel 6 ½",
Blade sight,
Barrel adress in 3 lines,
Finish unknown (the revolver saw heavy use, was heavily cleaned and badly restored),
Wood grips,
Stamps :
« J » on the upper rear portion of the trigger guard (left side),
« N » in front of the lever latch post.
Observation :
Some Belt revolvers has a hole in the handle (where the main spring is maintened by a through screw) but not that one.
I sold it some years ago but I can contact the new owner for more informations and photos, if you need.
I purchased a new one, #1069 and I can already give you some caracteristics waiting for its delivery for more details.
Belt SA Model # 1069
(Serial number on frame and trigger guard has to be confirmed)
.36 caliber,

Wood grips,
Stamps :
« C » on the frame (under the percussion shield),
« C » on the upper rear portion of the trigger guard (left side).
Observation :
no hole in the handle - N°26 stamped on the left panel grip.
I hope it will help you.

Do you think it was factory engraved?
Thanks,

Re: RESEARCH PROJECT: BELT/RYDER REVOLVERS
Hi Artem,
No I'm sorry!
I don't have a DA model.
I'm curious about it's mechanism but like you, I can't find any picture on the net..
Maybe someone could put a diagram?

Re: RESEARCH PROJECT: BELT/RYDER REVOLVERS
Mechanism
Main spring works the other way around compared to the 1858 Army.58, i.e. the spring is pulled up when cocking. Spring is stuck in at the back and held in place by a screw (from the back)

Mechanism recess seen from under. There's a rod going half way through the recess, for the release arm to be forced against

Re: RESEARCH PROJECT: BELT/RYDER REVOLVERS
Mechanism
The trigger doesn't work directly on the hammer sears. Trigger got a cradle for the hand and push thingie. See next post.

Re: RESEARCH PROJECT: BELT/RYDER REVOLVERS
Mechanism
The trigger cradle has the bolt on the right hand side and the hammer pusher on the left side, three items on one screw (plus the hand with its spring).
The pusher is in the lower right hand corner of this picture

Re: RESEARCH PROJECT: BELT/RYDER REVOLVERS
Mechanism
Hammer got one hinged push rod with sears at the bottom, and on that rod is also hinged the main spring pulling rod (to the left in picture).
The sears rod goes behind the half-way-through rod seen in picture Mech3.jpg above. The half-way-rod prevents the trigger-pusher to slip off the sears rod.

Re: RESEARCH PROJECT: BELT/RYDER REVOLVERS
From a scientific mechanical theory point of view, the working lever length, between the pushing rod axis and the hammer axis, is very short, which expains the heavy trigger pull.
