A S&W trained smith on another channel mentions that the front screw on the side plate is fitted to the shaft behind the yoke knob ("yoke" is S&W-speak for "crane") that keeps the yoke assembly in place. He said it was important to put that screw back into its own hole. It's end is polished, unlike the other round-head screw.

You forgot one of the most critical steps, cleaning under the star extractor. If you don't, powder residue can build up to the point where the cylinder will bind.

This is a big point, especially of the powder you use is a little dirty. Just had that happen at the range on a revolver with tight tolerances.

I prefer to use a dry lubricant on the bearing on the cylinder. I prefer this because the oil residue can hold any powder residue that gets in there when you shoot. As he said, oil will attract and hold dirt. My preference is to use a little teflon (ptfe) powder, which is completely dry and does not attract or adhere residue. Hoppes used to sell it many years ago, but it is now hard to find. A number of model railroad shops on the internet have teflon powder. Also, rather than put oil on the outside and wipe it off, a silicon cloth does a great job of protecting the exterior of the gun without leaving a residue to which dirt or body oils will adhere.

Just get a good cleaner and use motor oil or ball bearing grease for most guns. Many garage door tell you to use ball bearing grease and most garage door get extremely dirty so nothing special is needed unless you gun is super sensitive. All lubricants will attract dirty and dust just clean the gun every time you shoot. It's that simple.

I just cleaned my new revolver for the first time, and like you, I put a little oil in the openings by the trigger, firing pin, and hammer...but as you’re a revolver officianado I guess I was much more sparing then I needed to be 😅...but...you did a no-no! You’re not supposed to pry off the side plate, it can dent it-the proper method is to rap on the handle with either a rubber mallet (lightweight) or a screwdriver Handle-and it will shake loose. (I learned this from watching gunsmiths on KZfaq) thank you for the demo! Really interesting snubbies!

You should never pry up the sideplate of a revolver, that part made me cringe. You can seriously damage your sideplate and frame that way. There's a very easy way to take it off by firmly tapping the grip with a rubber end of a screwdriver or small mallet. Other than that, great video!

@TacticalTightwad 6 жыл бұрын

@TheYankeeMarshal 6 жыл бұрын

Dude, you are so wrong. If the side plate is stiff enough that you would bend it prying it off then you would also not be able to remove it with a hammer. That is just something people love to say when they don't understand what they're doing. Bashing with the hammer just makes Parts like the transfer bar pop out of place which then causes people to damage their side frame trying to put it back on. Try actually doing something for a change instead of just watching videos on it.

@connorcarson2622 6 жыл бұрын

TheYankeeMarshal "a very locked in place, controlled system" that's what you said man! The transfer bar may pop out, but tbats easily popped back in, and everything else will stay put. I enjoy your videos thoroughly, I'm just pointing out something that I think is incorrect. I have just as much experience with revolvers as you do. Would I pry off the side plate of a steel framed revolver? Sure, maybe, if I was extra careful. Would I trust scandium (or whatever alloys they're using for frames now) to behave like steel and hold up to prying? Absolutely fuckin' not. There's a reason why professionals insist that the tapping method is the best way to remove a side plate. Your way may be okay for an experienced person, but I would NEVER recommend prying to a beginner who is taking off a side plate for the very first time.

Ballistol metal cleaner is the best and safest stuff and a little Flitz metal polish with a soft toothbrush for tough stains. Once cleaned and dry use some Hoppe's gun oil on the moving parts. Then wipe down really good and you are done. And clean dripping residue in the morning like Yankee said.

That is the perfect way to do it, if you want to have to try and reinstall all the parts the come loose with the side plate. It is just a junk suggestion. You will NOT bend the side plate. If it was the hard to remove the banging would not work.
