NM Vaquero "free" free spin mod

[Bitter Creek Jack]

Hi..
I did like u have wrote here, and it works on one of my guns but not on the ohter
I think that the pawl/hand is to long, I hear the klicking sound from it, and I cant back the cylinder,
What will I do, do I have to stone or grind it flat??

I had that happen when I switched out to Blackhawk hammers. 

One day when I had them both apart I switched hammers from one gun to the other, and that fixed the problem.  I guess the geometry was off a little different on one of them.

I have two old model Vaqueros. Do I need a gunsmith to do this mod or is there a thread on the RATS site that explains it?

I know this is a little late, but here it is.

I have done one set by these instructions, and all went well.

I have seen about maybe 25% of the "New" Vaquero shooters come across the loading table with this mod done. 
Seems to work fine as far as I can see.  I don't shoot any "New" Vaqueros, so I ain't tried it.

For those of you who load 1, skip 1, load 4 (ala Colt) you really don't have to do that.   
You can actually spin the cylinder (in correct rotation) once loaded to see if you have a high primer. 
We always do it & no one has ever said a thing about it.   Just stop turning when you get the empty chamber under the hammer.

I do the ol' load one, skip one, and I seem to be the only one on the parade ground in step, but I like doing it the old fashioned way and there is nothing like chucking those big ol' 45s into the cylinder. I check all my ammo before leaving for the rangeand high primers are one of the things I check.
