Hey Guys, I posted last weekend about getting my 'new' (40 year old) Model 36. I disassembled it and it's in exceptional condition. I replaced the trigger, hammer, and cylinder lock springs with factory replacements, cleaned it up really well (although it really didn't need much), and reassembled it. Everything works fine, as it did when I purchased it, but if I tighten the yoke screw too much, it's a little hard to push the cylinder out. If I back it out a little, it swings just fine, as it did when I bought it. I don't remember having to 'not' tighten that screw all the way previously when reassembling other revolvers, but I may have. It's been a while. I just don't want it to vibrate out. Would the correct approach be to put a drop of Loctite on the threads and tighten it down just enough to be firm but not enough to bind the yoke?
