Ruger Security Six Revolver Disassembly/Reassembly Part2

[gooztala]

Nice work! As always!

[MrAdancueva]

thanks for the viedo but one question wat oil is good and how much can i put on it

[korn1536]

@MrAdancueva Any gun oil you can get at a sporting goods shop...Rem Oil, FP-10, CLP. A lot of people like tetra grease because it's heavier and doesn't evaporate. When it comes to oil, use as light of a coat as possible. If anything, the moving parts should get just a bit more then the rest of the gun, but just a thin layer. Make sure there is no oil inside the barrel at all...the barrel should be completely dry all the time.

the doble action is not working (doesn't engage) and I need the rod and any other part that goes from the crane to the cylinder (lock cylinder and ejects the cartridge

Very helpful....THANKS !!

[O7ROADKING]

Great video Thanks for posting

[Skeeter8124U]

I was going to say thank you for these video tutorials, and I was side tracked! I have made use of these more than once, they are very informative and detailed.Oh yeah....the comment I left below is based on my opinion, not known facts.

[Skeeter8124U]

I think that re-bluing an old service revolver, if done properly, could only enhance the value. Now a collectible firearm, one with historical value, or a very rare model...that would be different, as value goes down when you alter a collectible.

[jingles373]

Good job--thanks for posting.

[Mmafighter991]

I have that same gun, would getting it re blued hert the value??

[peckhamianmimic]

thanks for the vid mate, I used it to add lighter springs to my gp100

[MrFiredog37]

Thank you. I never would have attempted this if not for your video. It was clear and concise. Very good. I call everything "pin" too.

[YamahaMonster660]

ahhh eat your children i need to know how to reassemble the damn cylinder everything else is cake!

[tacokiller101]

and with a 1911 the spring will get worn down buy having bullets in the mag so if a robber breaks into your house you could have a defective feeding clip

[hibernia22]

This video was incredible. I took mine apart with a kitchen knife(butter knife, I had no flat-head screwdriver handy) And an allen wrench. I cut my thumb a little( not with the knife, but with the trigger mechanism) & I cleaned it & then I put it back together. Thank you dude. These two videos were incredibly helpful!!!!

[kevrg]

Awesome videos, very helpful! Thanks a lot!

[stopthatfool]

m'kay

[ballin926789]

really cool videos

[Donvido]

Thanks so much for the two videos! I have a Speed Six and don't plan on taking it apart soon, but when I do I will reference both of these. They also helped in gaining a better understanding of some of the terminology I've read about, but were quite not sure of (such as transfer bar) and how they function. I'm sure many more also appreciate you making these and just don't take the time to comment. Great job.

[dhgunsmith]

I would like to see how to install a new trigger spring in my Security Six.

[hydrashok556]

This is the only revolver I own.

Excellent wheel gun!

[korn1536]

Thank you. I'm sorry I don't have info on how to break down those revolvers but there is an exploded diagram for the model 1917 at e-gunparts. There's also an Official Police .38 (this is the E frame however) also at e-gunparts (I'll e-mail you the web address). Most revolvers I've dealt with have been fairly simple. I've always just slowly taken them apart, then just reverse it. Sometimes I'll even write down on paper where & how every part goes. Sorry I couldn't help. Good luck with them!

@korn1536

Help my speed six revolver seems to work fine when dry firing, but when a shoot an actual bullet, the hammer gets stuck like halfway and i have to push the cylinder for it to be able to shoot the next round. What could it be?

[korn1536]

@dispatch2006 I've heard of that happening with other kinds of revolvers before, but unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to pinpoint the problem for you. Since it happens with only live rounds that tells me some possible problems. 1. It could be that the gap between the barrel and cylinder is too close, therefore causing a bind when the gun heats up 2. dirt underneath the ejector rod 3. loose cylinder release  4. reloaded ammunition (too strong) 5.or the cylinder lock timing being off....

[korn1536]

@dispatch2006 If everything is cleaned, you're using good ammo, and all the parts are tight (like the cylinder release, then it may be one of the other things requiring repair. When you fire a round and the gun heats up, if the tolerances are off it could cause something like what you are saying, and unfortunately it may need taken to a shop to fix. Check the easier possibilities first and go from there. I'm sorry I couldn't help you. You can also try posting your problem on a gun forum,

[wajeeboseal]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I inheritted my father's ruger .357 speed six, as well as a colt official police 38 special and a colt model 1917 45 auto ctge. My husband and I cleaned the 357 today after watching and it went really good. Where can we learn about cleaning the others?

[alecshinyuanwu]

thanks

will these videos still be up on youtube in, oh about 8 years from now?

i'm not old enough to get a firearm yet

but when i am, i plan to purchase a colt anaconda revolver, just for the heck of it

and i might need these videos for future reference

[korn1536]

Well, I hope YouTube is still up and running then. If so, then I'd guess yes, they'll still be here. At least someone somewhere will still have something you could use I'd hope. I'm glad there are younger generations interested in firearms, and can be taught how to use them properly at a young age. Bravo to you.

As I said, if you need help on yours, I'll try to assist the best I can. This video is really for beginners. If you are an expert, then you really don't need these videos. The Security, Police Service, and Speed Six's are all the same breakdown.
