I've tried as best I can to solve two questions that videos and Numrich diagrams can't help me with. As this is an older Model 10, much of what I can find are for later models that aren't quite the same.
This is a S.&W. 38 Special CTG nickel plated 4" bbl that was carried by my wife's paternal grandfather when he was a Constable in Tallahassee before WWII (serial number 605655). I am helping my father in law who had this stuck in the back of a closet since the 1960s. It looked like it was almost never cleaned and typical of a dirty closet find. As I like to recondition abused antique guns and Penn reels, he asked me do see what I could do.
Here are the two things I need help with, pictures are below.
1. When I took out the screw on the trigger guard, I was surprised when what I know know is the cylinder stop sprind and cylinder stop stud came out. Stupidly, I was too "ooohhh what is this" to do the responsible thing and remember how they came out. In the pic I have how I think they need to come back. Is this correct?
2. I cannot find out - and I have been warned this is tricky - how to unscrew the Extractor rod collar off so I can get the yoke off so I can clean the extractor rod, spring etc.
Thank you for all your help. He has a few other S&W in need of some TLC too.
