Manual

11. See Figure 7, and note the end of the trigger spring (the arrow marked “A”).

This end of the spring must be depressed so that it slides under the rear

portion of the trigger when the grip frame is forward. With all the above

springs and plungers aligned, fully mate the grip frame and cylinder frame

and install the five grip frame screws. Note that the long screw (XR01901)

should go in the grip frame hole on the gate side (Figure 7-B) of the revolver.

12. Hook the two ends of the trigger spring

over the trigger spring retaining pin

(KXR06300) as shown in Figure 7-C.

13. Be certain the mainspring strut seat is

correctly positioned on its step in the

grip frame. Then, draw the hammer

back to the full cock position and

remove the small pin from the

mainspring strut. Pull trigger and allow

hammer to fall.

14. Open the gate, withdraw base pin and

install the cylinder. Reinsert the base

pin and be certain it is fully seated and

locked in position.

15. Before loading cartridges into the chamber, cycle the revolver several times.

Check to be sure that cylinder rotates and locks correctly, that trigger returns

in a positive manner when released, and that loading gate opens and closes

normally.

CARE AND CLEANING

MAKE SURE GUN IS UNLOADED!

Always be certain the revolver is completely unloaded before cleaning. At regular

intervals or when the revolver has been exposed to sand, water or other adverse

conditions, disassemble, clean and oil it.

To clean the revolver after firing:

1. Remove the cylinder as described on p. 20.

2. Clean the barrel from the muzzle by running a cleaning rod with a solvent

coated patch through the bore several times. A bronze wire brush, of a size

appropriate to the bore size, attached to the cleaning rod should then be

pushed the full length of the bore several times.

3. Again swab the bore with a solvent coated patch. Then wipe the rod clean

and, using a dry patch, swab the bore until it is clean.

4. Repeat the above procedure for each of the six chambers.

5. Run a lightly oiled patch through the bore and each chamber.
