Hi gunner930,

I have never heard of an Armscor. On a S&W revolver the part you are describing is the ejector star and the part of the star that is worn on your gun is what S&W calls the ratchets. Unless you are a gunsmith or armorer you can not install the star with the ratchets yourself on a S&W revolver since they have to be cut with a ratchet cutter and hand fitted with a Barrett file for the revolver to be timed and work correctly. It has to be handfitted to work in conjunction with the "hand", which is the part that turns the cylinder, so that the cylinder turns and lines up with the barrel at the same time that the hammer drops. The usual solution, on a S&W, to worn ratchets is to fit a slightly oversized hand instead of replacing the star. You would only replace the star in an extreme case.

I hope this helps,

Frank

 Thanks Frank and Mouse! An Armscor is kinda a Colt revolver copy but definately not of Colt quality. They are made in the Phillipines. I had never heard of them either. Just your basic "Saturday night special" cheapy.
 Its probebly worth no more than 75.00 if it was functional. I may just junk it for parts.
 Thanks again for the info. I have learned more than I knew.  :)
