XVR.460 question

[Gogetdoug]

I have an XVR.460 and while oiling it last night I was able to remove the cylinder and it's yoke from the bronze stud on the revolver's frame . It pretty much came right off in my hands. Is this normal? I then googled online cylinder removal and saw that a screw just above the trigger needs to be removed for a disassembly which would include all the above plus the bronze stud. I dont want to shoot the pistol untill

I know this is normal. It all seems to go back together just fine and will cycle through dry firing same as always.

Welcome from Ohio!! I think you've got a screw loose.....I mean lost.

It should only come off if that screw is backed out.

Thanks for the quick reply. The screw and the shaft it retains are still in place. The yoke arm is just detached from the shaft. So I hold in my hand the cylinder/extraction rod and the yoke arm. The shaft is still in the pistol frame. Ive emailed s&w and awaiting their reply.

Definitely get a shipping label and send it back to Smith & Wesson.

Something is amiss.......

screw loose/wrong

before you send it back. I would remove all the side plate screws and examine them. The one that retains the yolk and cylinder is different from the other screw that is the same size. It might just be as simple as switching screws

PS sorry I misread....nevermind about the screws
