|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. Disassembly of the revolver.
|
|||
|
|
a. Remove the stocks the same way as on the Smith & Wesson.
|
|||
|
|
b. Remove the yoke screw, spring and plunger.
|
|||
|
|
c. Remove the cylinder and yoke assembly.
|
|||
|
|
d. Remove the sideplate screws.
|
|||
|
|
e. Pry off the sideplate (Colt revolvers only; don't do this to a
|
|||
|
|
S&W).
|
|||
|
|
f. Remove the mainspring.
|
|||
|
|
g. Remove the hand.
|
|||
|
|
h. Remove the rebound pin and rebound lever.
|
|||
|
|
i. Remove the hammer.
|
|||
|
|
j. Remove the trigger,connecting linkage and hammer block as one
|
|||
|
|
unit.
|
|||
|
|
k. Remove the cylinder pin latch.
|
|||
|
|
l. Release the bolt spring. Colt calls the cylinder stop the "bolt."
|
|||
|
|
m. Remove the bolt screw and bolt.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2. Correcting slip by of the cylinder.
|
|||
|
|
a. Remove metal from the top of the flat part of the bolt behind the
|
|||
|
|
bolt ball that fits into the cylinder notches.
|
|||
|
|
b. This causes the tail(rear end) of the bolt to be positioned lower
|
|||
|
|
in the weapon.
|
|||
|
|
c. Now the rebound lever needs to be bent upwards, slightly
|
|||
|
|
straightening it.
|
|||
|
|
d. Unfortunately, this causes the hand to move higher and the top of
|
|||
|
|
the hand will need filing.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3. The bolt stop (ball) should flip up about <20>inch before the cylinder
|
|||
|
|
notch rolls into position.
|
|||
|
|
a. Bending the bolt to the right is done for making the timing
|
|||
|
|
happen earlier.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4. On Smith & Wesson revolvers, it is the thickness of the hand that is
|
|||
|
|
critical. On Colt's, it is the length of the hand. Peen to lengthen.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5. As the hand comes up, it presses against the star/ratchet and starts
|
|||
|
|
cylinder rotation. The next ratchet on the cylinder sets the hand.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
6. If the cylinder is not aligned, the hand needs stretching (peening).
|
|||
|
|
Peen near the bottom of the hand with a cross peen hammer.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
7. Remember that if you peen the hand, it not only stretches it but
|
|||
|
|
widens it as well.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
8. A hex wrench (found on some Colt barrel bushing wrenches) is used in
|
|||
|
|
the initial disassembly of the cylinder. You put the wrench over the
|
|||
|
|
ratchet. Note that the ratchet is right hand threaded. Remove the
|
|||
|
|
ratchet first.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
9. A special tool is used to remove the bushing on the yoke. I suggest
|
|||
|
|
that you not work on the cylinder but send it to Bob Dunlop at Pacific
|
|||
|
|
International Service Company in Janesville, California for repair.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
10. All Colts need lots of internal oiling. The strut must be oiled.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
11. Double action job.
|
|||
|
|
a. Polish the tang and cam action with crocus.
|
|||
|
|
b. Polish the underneath side of the rebound lever where it rides
|
|||
|
|
over the hand.
|
|||
|
|
c. Polish the front of the hand.
|
|||
|
|
d. Remove the strut and polish the inside of the strut and lower
|
|||
|
|
tip. Also polish the front of the strut.
