This video shows an abridged version of the journey we took to restore a S&W 32 Long "I" Frame revolver.
Due to time constraints we only show the highlights of this journey; it is not meant to be a step by step restoration guide.
The piece was originally finished in nickel. We tried to "Nitreblue" it at first, but it did not take well. Next, we tried to nickel plate it; however, we did not have the right equipment/experience and the nickel plating did not work either. Finally, we decided to coat it with a thermally cured "Moly Resin" from John Norrell.
We did not have a video camera for the disassembly, so we made do with still pictures.
ótimo!

I recently acquired the same gun and I might try to restore it just as you did

@arg2761 Do you know anywhere I can get parts for the revolver? my firing pin is broken and I can't find anyone selling them and the cylinder moves slightly when cocked, any thoughts as to why that happens and how to fix it? thankyou

@joeadams39:
Try S&W. They might be able to help.
Try S&W Forum, section "S&W Hand Ejectors: 1896 to 1961". Somebody is bound to know about parts.
Try searching for Numrich.
Last resort, try a local gunsmith.
Is the cylinder moving rotationally? I'll send you a pic of the part that locks the cylinder when the gun is cocked. I don't know the name of the part.
