Yes I think I can do that for you, they are quite easy to clean and take apart, I won't be removing they cylinder or the cylinder crane however, no need to and is relatively time consuming.
Could you ever make a take-down video? I'm thinking of buying a M1892 when I turn 21, and I heard that the parts are numbered like the Chamelot Delvigne.
I have not Fired Factory ammo through this gun, Fiocchi loads are expensive, hard to find and loaded quite stout "880 fps" with a steel jacket bullet. Kinda hard on 120 year old barrels...
I run 32 20 cut down brass with a well Lubed Lead cast .323 110gr bullet and anywhere from 3 to 3.3 Grains of Unqiue Smokeless, "relatively mild load around 680-720fps"
You can run them beyond 3.5 grains but I do not wish to batter this old beautiful gun, it has more than paid its dues in war.
This gun is all original except the grips, but I still have the original grips as well. They were switched out because of shrapnel damage.
This gun saw combat, most likely ww1 and it has several high velocity pock marks throughout. Nothing that affects it structurally however, just adds some true character.
It is a very tight gun in general, locks up like a vault and has no cylinder end shape, the rifling is also very pronounced and with no pitting.
is the gun all original? (original factory barrel and whatnot) you reload your own brass or buy factory loads like fiocchi? nonetheless its amazing a gun that old still shots like new

Hello from France man! This revolver is not for 8 mm Lebel.
8mm Lebel=8x50R it's a rifle cartridge (and the first with smokless powder).
This beautifull revolver is for 8x27R.Look here for more infos : /armesfrancaises.free.fr/revolver%20Mle%201892.html
Take care and have good times with this beauty.

@rgiovanni02 Yes I am aware that 8mm lebel is a rifle cartridge but here in north america the revolver cartridge is just called "8mm lebel Revolver".
While not correct, that is the term used by Canadians and Americans. Thanks for the link, take care!.
