I'll do a basic breakdown and reassembly of a 1972 Ruger Security-Six .357 Magnum revolver.

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

  • @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.

  • 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!

    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?

  • @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....

  • @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,
