Charter Arms detail strip videos (very good stuff)
https://charterfirearms.com/pages/videos-2
After all these years, I finally took the opportunity to completely strip a Charter Arms revolver.
Easier than a Smith, or Colt. Much.
Maybe just a hair easier than an a double action Ruger too. Fewer little springs and plungers to get all fiddly.
Assembly is also very easy.
But note - its not said in the video's but its performed -
The front and rear trigger guard pins drive from right to left - opposite of most cross pins, or sights.
The trigger pin drives from left to right - backward of the other two.
The pins have a tiny spline on them, that "grips" the frame's hole when driven in. The front trigger guard pin is smaller diameter, and fits through a hollow rivet that also holds the cylinder stop (bolt) in place and provides its pivot as well. That front pin MUST go IN from left to right with splines on the left side. The trigger pin splines are on the right side, so it goes back in from right to left, and the rear trigger guard pin goes in from left to right with the splines on the left side.
Well that aint hard, but ya gotta get it right!
Which is why I posted this message.
