| I am not sure about that model, but on a S&W 686 it is pretty to remove the cylinder, changing the cylinder on a revolver takes fitting that is usually best left to a gunsmith, just removing it for a detail cleaning shouldn't be a problem. I always use the proper tools when working on guns, and will wait until I have the right tool, even if I am in the middle of something, but I work on stuff that some might not consider user servicable myself all of the time. Gun tinkering can be very enjoyable but also very dangerous, if you have the slighteset doubt, have a pro check your work, it normally aon't cost much, and can save you alot. |
I got the military cleaning bug too, but I'm overcoming it. I only completely strip my weapons every four or five times I shoot them. But I do take them almost completely apart. I pulled apart my Ruger Standard Model just the other day, and last week I not only took the cylinder off of my 640, but also the sideplate. Way I see it, the user should strive to become an expert at servicing ANYTHING he operates, from his J-Frame to his vehicle. One day there might not be anyone else around to service it for him. |
