John,

You may have to look for Super Comanche, and they are manufactured by Rexio:

One of the members of another forum did some work on his, but he has removed the photographs of the job:

Here are some of his comments:

quote:Wow.... got it home and started taking it apart... I'm not even going to shoot it first... triger is horrid.... the pull actually lifts the hammer a bit before droping it....

It is a solid chunk of steel. The extractor is going to need to be stone, it's a bit tight. quote:

The sear enguagement into the hammer was actually like a pocket. ZERO chance there would be any form of bump fire shy of dropping it 5 stories onto concrete. I angled the sear enguagement area to a little less then 90*, stone, lubed and reasymbled. Sub 1 pound trigger, no problem. But now the fallling striker block falls too early? It looks like the little nubbin that engauges the trigger to keep it up is a few thousands short so I just bobbed the hammer striker to directly impact the firing pin. I left enough that with the hammer fully dropped the pin does not contact the case on the round. I pulled 10 bullets and test fired all 10 empty rounds and the primers were well dimpled and lit no
problem.

The bore actually had rust in it.... I am going to the range today and run hundred rounds through it and see what is what...

BTW, the pins drive out from the left to the right if you are looking at the pistol from the top.

I had the whole thing apart and can tell you it is basicly just a large spring loaded wegde and alot of metal....

So how much work did Bubba do on the hammer and or trigger? I didn't find a schematic either. But if it's like an H&R reassembly via slave pins will make life easier. Use a hand lens to inspect the frame for the fin tracks, my Topper the pins go in from left to right shooting position.

I don't know what you charge for labor? But I wouldn't be screwing around with a cheap Argentine import, that sold for less then $150 when new.

There still being imported under the name Comanche. Have your client go to the importers web-site. Their the same outfit that import the Argentine Bersa's. They give a list of warranty gunsmiths who work on their guns. Let the guy contact them to see what they will charge to reassemble a basket case. Doubtful if it would cost him less then $100. Not counting the replacement parts he probably screwed up, taking it apart in the first place.
