I was advised by a fellow forum member of an article, which I believe to be in the July 1991 edition of the American Rifleman magazine, regarding the breakdown and/repair of the S&W five shot .38 DA Top Break revolver. I would gladly reimburse a donor for photocopies and mailing of the article. I am taking on a rebuild project and I understand that the article would compliment the info in my "Gunsmithing the Guns of the Old West" book. Thanks, Waistgunner

I have an NRA article on the New Departure, aka Lemon Squeezer, that I'd send you if it would be of any help

Thanks Gary, I can always use that one too. My revolver is the standard style with the exposed hammer. Lance

What is the date on the Lemon Squeezer article?
I can get it at my local library.

Thanks

I can't tell as I already mailed it to Lance

You are in luck, I found my copy of the artical. It was July 1991 of the American Rifleman by Pete Dicky titled "Smith & Wesson Break-Open "Double Action" Revolvers". It was stuck in one of my old assembly books.It covers the .32 & .38 S&W calibers.It has a really good drawing with all the parts in relation to their functional components along with the parts list.

Email me you mailing address and I will send you this extra copy, as I found 2 copies stuck in that book.
