LEANING
At regular intervals or when the revolver has been exposed to
sand, water or other adverse conditions, disassemble, clean and
oil it.
Remove the cylinder using the following steps:
Open the loading gate.
Place the hammer in its half-cock notch.
Depress the base pin catch. This is the spring loaded plunger loca-
ted on the left front side of the frame. Keep it depressed.
Slide the base pin all the way out. The base pin is the heavy pin
around which the cylinder rotates (and provides a bearing surface
for the cylinder). It should always be clean and lubricated.
Remove cylinder toward the loading gate. The cylinder is made to
fit your revolver precisely and can be removed and replaced
easily, but carefully. It is a close fit, so don't force it to move in any
direction.
To reassemble, simply reverse the steps above.
When you reassemble the base pin, make sure the base pin catch
snaps back in its regular position. You can test this by making sure
the plunger is free to move when you depress it and it returns
under its own spring pressure.
