Bought a Manuel Escodin Eibar Spain model 1926 .38 special recently - very clean, just a little rub wear. Cleaned it and took it to the range today and had a bit of an issue. shells went in fine and the ejector rod easily slide them back out. fired first 6 and the ejector would only pull shells out 1/3 of the way and they were tight to pull out. unlike when they went in prior to firing when they easily slid out. Same with next 6- very tight. Shell casings no damage. 3rd time after 3 shots the cylinder wouldnt turn, hammer wouldnt go back nor would cylinder slide out. Set the gun down for about 10 minutes and didnt touch. After 10 minutes it opened and I ejected the shells.
What would cause this? Is it not safe? Any cure? Thansk
