Thanks for all the help guys. I will certainly watch the video before I take the side plate of. Regarding the comment about “proper screwdriver”. Will one that comes with an old N frame, in the box, work, or do I need one smaller than that? Thanks
Thanks Hair Trigger. That’s my concern, although I own quite a few SW revolvers, I’ve never taken a side plate off. Certainly don’t want to mess things up worse….
I did get cylinder open. Ejector rod appears very tight. I think Wheelgun is right, I took the thumb piece off and it was not freely moving forward. I had to put a lot of pressure on it but then it moved forward and cylinder opened. I have sprayed a good bit of G96 in there but still doesn’t...
Thanks for all the feedback guys. Now my issue is the cylinder won’t swing open at all. When I cock the hammer slightly the cylinder will spin freely, but I can’t get it to swing open. Any thoughts ?
I have a 4 screw model 48 that has an issue with the cylinder release. Sometimes it locks shut and won’t open, sometimes when open it won’t lock shut. Does anyone have any suggestion as to what is causing this and how to fix it? Much appreciated.

Agree with Aspenhill, have a GS check out and tighten up the mechanics, but I wouldn't do anything with the grips. It is in memory of your uncle so I would use it as he did.....
Go to the range and have fun... You have one of the sweetest shooting .38s ever sold to the general public!
