need a little help

[deerslayer15]

A budy of mine was going through his dads old house and found a double action .22 revolver that didn't work properly. He brought it to me to fix. I'm not shure what the make of the gun is, it has a capitol R and 610 on the handle...The problem is the hammer will not stay back. You can pull the hammer back and it doesn't opperate the cylander like it should. Also the trigger will not opperate right...if you pull the trigger it does opperate the cylander but not the hammer, also the trigger will not return by itself. I took the gun apart and it looks like someone took it apart and didn't put it back right or left out a few parts...if anyone know anything about this gun...Please help.

There should be two springs, for the hammer and trigger.  In most revolvers, the hammer will directly push on the hammer when doing double action, and it will also be the part which hooks onto it to keep it in place.  There should be a little rod that connects to the trigger that pushes the cylinder around.  The trigger needs to have contact with both of these parts to operate it.  You should take off the side panel, and pull on the trigger, with the cylinder out, and see what the trigger is pushing on, then you could see what exactly is pushing on what in the particular gun, and what may be missing.  Look if there is any little lips or anything that seem like they should catch something and aren't.
