Like you said, 1st time gun owner here, saw this revolver online with some great reviews had to take a look, Liked it, bought it, used it and now clean it..... the video was perfect!!! thxs for posting

First time gun owner. After firing for the first time I'm much for confident now, knowing I gave it the cleaning it needed. Thank you!

It's OK to call it a pistol. It is a pistol. It's also a hand-gun,, a revolver,, and a firearm..

Four years later and it is still helping somebody out 😃. I just bought this yesterday not knowing anything about it LOL thank you for the video

I thought the coffee was gonna be some secret cleaning tip! Lol

Shot mine for the first time yesterday and will clean today. Thanks! Very helpful!

After adding the cleaner to the holes in the cylinder, I then clean the front and rear faces before rodding or snaking the cylinder holes. This insures that nothing gets backed into the holes in the cylinder. Saves a step. Your mielage may vary.

This video is great for me. Inherited one of these. Not a firearm I'm familiar with yet so finally seeing it get cleaned properly was a big help thank you.

One of the best break down cleaning videos I've seen. Thanks bro. This helped alot!!

Nice detail cleaning as seems basic enough as I do like the way you are thorough with the cleaning....Good stuff...

Just grabbed one of these for my old lady to get her into plinking, awesome little piece to add to the collection

Just got this for Christmas as my first gun. Thanks for the super informative video!

This was my first gun with a 16 inch barrel the video is thorough and really informative i like the bore snake because other kits do not go the full 16 inches. just shot 100 rounds of tracer ammo and another hundred of lr. I highly recommend this gun it's my first but was more fun than some ar style and rifle 22s that I shot. very accurate just like your video thanks man!

Thank you for this one. Got mine today and this helped a lot.

I am going to pickup my new Rough Rider today and I will be sure to follow this method of cleaning it. Appreciate you taking the time to make this video. Also it helped to know how often to clean it. Thanks again!

Good morning!!! Excellent tutorial was thinking of picking one up to add to collection, thanks you made it easier!! Happy Easter!!! Keep up the awesome content!! :-)

Thanks for the tips on how to clean the gun..got one myself and shot it for the first time great gun.

Just bought mine tonight with the Whiskey Barrel handle. Excited to get home from work tomorrow and send a few rounds through it. Great video and thank you.

I just got one today and it works!! Thanks for showin me how to work it

My grandfather gave me mine! Looks like this one but with Mother Of Pearl grips! Looks amazing. Thanks for the video!

Great video. I ordered 2 of these. I am using Norma tac 22 ammo out of it. Very accurate in my mossberg 144 LSA.

awsome video! very clear, i plan on purchasing one of these but with the 16 inch barrel. i imagine they're the same though as far as cleaning is concerned

Blued finish really hides the 22 fouling well. I often need to brush around the barrel cone to get the carbon fowling from there. Nice step-by-step.

Great job! You show how to clean and maintain your firearm.

Bought one a week ago for 140 it's like new condition shot 500 rounds through it I love it it shoots great really surprised me

Great video from all of us Roughrider carriers. Thanks much.

Your good to call it a pistol, back in those days a revolver was a pistol, no one would say ‘well actually’ you good homie.

I know I am late to respond on this video, by a couple of years. But, in case anyone watching this buys a new one: When you first get it, the action (pulling the hammer back all 4 clicks) will seem a little "gritty". I've noticed this on a lot of lesser expensive single action revolvers. I usually sit there working the hammer / action repeatedly while watching a TV show or something. Just make sure it isn't loaded first. Also, you might wanna take off the wood grips (just a single screw) and make sure the spring in there is oiled.

TY, rough riders are one of the best bang for the buck colt replicas out there . . . heart these, also if walking / riding with it loaded have the hammer sit on a empty chamber even though it has a safety unlike the super accurate colt copies. sometimes have to grind / paint sight to adjust for kentucky windage (so I don't have to kentucky windage it so much). Otis sells a cable like a bore snake run with 3/8" attachments for brush and eye hole jag . . . I used to run a rod down the muzzle, attach it at the breech, then pull it, so I could get direction of bullet. But some peeps with more exp @ my local gun range (LGR) tell me rim fires are less senstive to this than center, AND some peeps clean by back n forth brushing the bore so maybe its not as much diff, but I like to run direction of bullet travel. Same guys have had rough riders for 10 years and shot tons of rounds though them. They say may need a barrel replacement but they can still plink cans like when they first got it, so . . . an lever actions go henry.

I use Hydrogen Peroxide to clean as it reacts with the burnt and unburnt powder nitrates and vaporizes them. Then I use WD 40 to lubricate as it neutralizes any excess Peroxide as well. I use cleaning rods.

Good video, this is my first proper firearm and this is very helpful

Thank you so much this is my first single action revolver and my heritage has a 16 inch barrel omfg it’s sooooooooo good

These are going for $130 right now. Everyone should own one of these, nothing more fun then plinking 22lr

i bought one 2 days ago it a smaller 4 incher and it is really fun to shoot. haha i love it.

Got one a couple days ago this was helpful thank you.

Nice Job. Thanks for the information. I just bought one... Enjoy the 4th of July

great video, much appreciated

I own one have shot bout 100 rounds on it time to clean is thanx for the review

Just a little tip. Keep in mind that these frames are made of Zammak, which is not really an issue as far as strength is concerned, but since it wears easily, it is a good idea to makr sure to use a good lube on all the friction points in the frame. Personally, I use a good high ZDP oil treatment, just a light coat on the pin and a small dab with a q tip in the sockets. This will significantly reduce the wear, and make sure that you can enjoy your revolver for a long time.

I Will Clean My RR The Same Way You Cleaned Yours After I Shoot It.Thank You👍

Picked up one today in .22LR for $99 at Dunham's

Thsnk you for the video…. just bought one. Excellent pistol!!!!!

great easy to follow video

Thanks. I was about to buy a cleaning kit for mine. Then I watched your video. And then I did a little better looking at the kit I was about to order; no cleaning oil came with it. I expect a kit to contain everything a novice needs.

I have the same revolver but it has a gold hammer barrel trigger and design

Good video, with lots of info.......

I took mine out for the first time yesterday and after about 50 rounds or so the spent casing jammed in cylinder

great video thank you

Great video. Thanks so much.!!!!

Perfect video thanks

I inherited one from my Dad, cool little .22

I have one with the 6.5 inch barrel and use it for squirrel and rabbit hunting. It will shoot any kind of ammo

Do this barrel have a chamfer at a bullet entry? I've had some issues with a led bullet shavings flying to the sides when fire.

Good video!

Hey ! If it’s easy for you to write what is the diameter of the drum and the curd of the revolver and what is the length of the drum ?! thanks for the answer!

HAVE THIS PISTOL AWESOME BUT INSTEAD OF 22LR AND 22 MAGNUM MINE CAME WITH 2 OF THE MAGNUM CYLINDERS

My brother didnt know to load it and he jammed the hammer and trigger up. Hopefully after watching this vid ill fix it

Nice job. to the point.

You think you could do a tutorial on swapping out the firing pin?

Actually the snake is for range or field use. You’re supposed to use a traditional rod cleaner for thorough cleaning. Your passing the grime back through on a snake. No way to pass a dry finish patch.

Best way to clean new gun 91% rubbing alcohol gets all the the grease and oil gone as its a solvent then oil after cleaning .

Calling it a pistol technically isn't wrong... But I'm like you, I'm kinda particular how I say certain things and hard on myself when I screw up. lol Thanks for the video. I'm loving this little gun.

I found an old one going through some things I bough from a storage sale... Not too bad condition but there is rust and the cylinder won't come out for shit. Nor will it turn from the rust to unload the thing... Any key things I should do for restorations?

My base pin won't lock in place when I try to put the cylinder back in. Any tips?

Pistol is a perfectly fine word to use for a revolver. The old Spanish word for a gunfighter, long before semi-auto handguns were invented, was pistolero.

Good video, is your Heritage a threaded barrel going into the frame, or is it a press fit barrel that is pinned into the frame?

How do you clean your boresnake or do you not ?

i swear this is silver dragons hand work

Which end of the cylinder face the trigger "?

I just bought a rough rider and after shooting it, I cleaned it with Hoppe's CLP and it left white spots on the ejector tube assembly. Basically seems to be taking off some of the finish. I only used wipes on this part, no brush. No problems with any other part of the revolver. Is this due to the cheap nature of this part?

Is the CLP safe on the grip?

How often do I need to clean it

Going tomorrow to get one 😬

can you leave the safety off? just bought it and I really hate them lol

Accuracy (shoddy sights) appears to be a common criticism of these guns. I cant believe your crown was marred, though. Do you suggest against this revolver for someone who isn't capable of fixing those things?

Hi, Travis what is the model number of your little Heritage I picked one of these up in an Online Auction for $70 I love the little Revolver it looks just like the one you had, mine was from a police Auction so it only came with the 22LR cylinder. I don't know if it can use the 22 Magnum cylinder but, I would like to get one if mine is like yours! i have emailed Heritage 2 times with the model number asking them if it can support the magnum cylinder they never responded to me I checked their website and put in the model number it says it "cant be found" thank you for any help my barrel does say for "caliber .22 cal" doesn't specifically say 22LR

Cool

Need a shorter string on the bore snake.

What's your take on lubes with hbn?

Will ballistol work??

My grandpa gave me one also I got the river wrangler btw I’m 13

A revolver is till a pistol just a different type so no need to apologize cause we all know it’s still a pistol lol

A revolver is a pistol. Not all pistols are revolvers, but most revolvers are pistols.

Lol revolvers have been pistols since the 1500s. There are pistols and there are semi auto pistols.

Every hand gun is a pistol.

Yeah all handguns are pistols. What did they call Wild Bill Hickok..... Prince of the pistoleers. I actually prefer the Ruger wrangler myself. Haven't had good luck with the heritage. Springs break all the time and I do not fan the hammer.

As stated Good job. You said you make these for the first time revolver buyer well :) here I am. I got the 16 inch barrel version. I think Im gonna have to use my Otis Gun Cleaning kit to get down that barrel. Mine DIDNT come with a manual on cleaning. I do have alot of the stuff you have in the video BUT... I was scared to use anything on the exterior because of fears of messing up the blueing. You used Rem Oil so I think Ill use that. Ive got both Break free and Rem Oil but my favorite is Hoppes 9. However... The General Solvent and not Bore just Bore Cleaner is hard to find for me lately. I think I have a 22 cal bore snake but I remember. Ive only got 12 rounds through mine got it on a trip the range. I had an issue though.. Yes Im aware you are supposed to clean a gun before you shoot it but I was too tempted to not shoot it. So having never owned one when I fired the first shot something really interesting happened "Nothing". It struck the round but nothing happened. I waited and fired again all other shots fired fine. I unloaded the shells and checked them for strike marks ALL had marks interestingly enough there was never a shot sound...on that first round yet all shell casings had no bullets in them. I reloaded the revolver and once more pulled the trigger the exact same thing happened only this time the first rounds bullet was still in there. Before I fired again I held it pointed down range suspecting a hangfire within a minute or two nothing happened and I knew the powder wasnt going to shoot it so I then unloaded the gun and inspected the round. It again had a strike mark where the firing pin had struck but it failed to ignite. I informed the gun shop and they had me take it over to the smith. The smith after handling it a min or two gathered some remington and took it out on the range where he fired another 6 shots all of them fired. He explained to me that CCI Mini mags 22LR is made of a harder material casing and that sometimes the firing pin will fail to strike them with enough force to fire the shot. He told me swap to remington and see if it continued he said if it still does it its the gun. Im going to give it a good cleaning and fire it again soon. In the meantime thanks for the video.

Liberal Democrat here. ( I mentioned that for demographics purposes) Thank you very much for a great video that taught me a lot. I'm going to purchase this gun in about 10 days and your video is one that I will be saving to my gun folder. Thanks again!!! PS. I will also be buying all of the accessories you are showing in your video.

Bore snake is the best for 22lr. More 22 barrels have been worn out from cleaning rods than shooting. Break Free CLP is good stuff. Next time try Ballistol. The original CLP... used by the German Army during WWI and WWII. ballistol.com/

Perfect video except for the obnoxious music intro

Carburetor Cleaner 40W motor oil. Talk trash but it works better, and costs less to buy. 😳

anyone know how to remove stupid safety?

All revolvers are pistols but not all pistols are revolvers

Throw that black rifle mug in the trash.

$100 in labor put into a $100 gun.

Every handgun is a pistol....... Did they call single shot dueling pistols from 1750, dueling revolvers 100 years before the revolver? NO.... They called them pistols...... A revolver is a type of pistol, just as those old single shot flintlocks were, just as Glocks are....

Just bought one and the finish is garbage, anyone else have the same garbage finish?

More of a field strip not a disassembly video

Make your video disassembily then cleaning anyone who needs to know how to clean their barrel shouldn't own a gun

Not a complete disassembly, disappointed and misled.
