Any Bear River Exterminator BB Revolver experts out there?

A friend of mine ask me to look at his son's Exterminator. It shoots but the cylinder will not rotate with the trigger pull. I called the vendor and he said it sounds like the "rolling pin" and is sending me one.

This is quite a revolver. To just glance at it you'd swear it was the real deal.

Any trick when taking it apart? I also have the manual but it shows no disassembly steps.

Have you ran a cleaning rod down the muzzle? My 586 S&W .177 pellet revolver has lodged a pellet between the cylinder and the barrel before when the CO2 ran low. This definitely tied up the cylinder.

Seeing this post is kinda sad for me - it made me realize that I've long-since lost track of where my old Crosman (I think) "Python" pellet revolver went to. I think we packed it for Germany back in the late 90's and lost it somewhere. I'm going to have to do some Googling - it would be nice to have a decent quality pellet revolver again ...

I'll give that a shot. Thanks. This one is a standard BB but it is worth a shot.

Nothing in the barrel but dirt. Ran some pipe cleaners down with brake cleaner and ballistol. Looks nice now. This BB gun is something. Extractor rod to push the shells out, real looking bullets you stuff BB's into.

So I took a deep breath and removed the sideplate. Thought I was working on a model 10. There was a spring with a long arm that wrapped around the trigger post and that arm had come off of the hand so there was no tension on the hand to force it into the rachet on the back of the cylinder. Once I put that spring arm back over the base of the hand it seemed to work like a champ. At least with it all put back together the cylinder turns with the trigger pull or when you cock the hammer. Just like the real thing.

Hope it makes the young man happy.
