I am posting this here as I figure reloaders probably shoot more than most and also a lot of revolver shooters hang out here.
Every time I buy a new(used) revolver I always open it up to give it the once over. Sometimes they are like new and I just put the side plate back on. Others are nasty dirty and I clean them and re oil. The Model 66 I just got looks like new, but inside was dry as a bone. Don't think there was a drop of oil in there.
So do you guys actually take them apart or just drop some oil down the hammer, trigger and let it find it's own way around?
