Hey All,
I have a relatively new 686-6 snub.
I bought it used, but the previous owner must have barely EVER fired it (based on condition).
First owner DID pull the lock and install "the plug".
I've only put about 150 rounds through it, and never had the side plate off.
While dry firing today (with snap caps), I seemed to notice a gritty noise when the trigger is first pulled. Seems like the noise happens before the trigger is actually pulled (when hard pressure is applied, but before trigger is actually moving rearward).
Perhaps this is too vague?
Question: Can grit/metallic burrs have moved around inside this revolver?
I suppose now would be a good time to remove my first-ever side plate?
Any
recommendations as to internal maintenance, while side plate is off?
Thanks!
