If u shake it more than twice u r now just playing with it haha
"alright, three shakes is enough!"
- "oh. why thank you, tinkle fairy."
It seems that someone is an expert on shaking things 🤔. I think you said TMI.
You forgot one of the most critical steps, cleaning under the star extractor. If you don't, powder residue can build up to the point where the cylinder will bind.
This is a big point, especially of the powder you use is a little dirty. Just had that happen at the range on a revolver with tight tolerances.
A S&W trained smith on another channel mentions that the front screw on the side plate is fitted to the shaft behind the yoke knob ("yoke" is S&W-speak for "crane") that keeps the yoke assembly in place. He said it was important to put that screw back into its own hole. It's end is polished, unlike the other round-head screw.
Finally something wholesome and chill after all the recent tension
Yeah, it was a nice change
No kidding! Let's talk about guns and not made-up drama.
"You ain't even my real dad" ending gets me every time.
Finally a gun video, never get tired of seeing revolvers.
A piece of advice for your first time opening a fire arm take a picture , or a few as you go . Place the parts in a line as you remove them , then just reverse the order to put them back .
I always do that with a new gun. The bad part is when pieces go flying as soon as your remove the cover.
@@TheYankeeMarshal NO NO NO just strip the gun down to every last nut bolt and screw, trow all the parts into a bag, shake the bag and then we get to watch a multiple day video series as you try to figure out how it goes back together, complete with multiple cussing rampades as springs go flying and other small parts dissapear never to be seen again, we also get a learning video of where to acquire replacement parts for said AWOL parts LOL, sorry Yankee but that just makes for premium entertainment LOL.
@@TheYankeeMarshal can you use hair clipper oil
Never pry the side plate off. I'm surprised at you Yankee. Just tap teh grip fram with a wooden handle, it will pop off and you won't leave idiot marks in the seam.
"clearly inferior semi-automatics". You got that right. The mechanics and simplicity of a revolver are awesome.
Exactly. If it isn't broken don't fix it.
First invented in 1836 and still being made today for a reason.
@@dljprogun because people like the look? A G20 is the what the Artic Patrols use not some six shooter for a reason.
Hoppe's 9... the sexiest perfume a woman can ever wear.
I LOVE the smell of Hoppes.
Can't go wrong with it been around a long time and it's proven
Oh yes! After cleaning a gun one day my daughter walked in and asked what that smell was. I told her Hoppes 9, the smell of freedom!
Milsurp Mike I use Lucus Extreme Duty Gun oil. best lube ever much better than K-Y
Nah G96 all the way my man.
This is the best revolver oiling vid out right now. Thank you.
He forgot the cylinder star you need to clean that as well
Thanks for validating my lack of gun oil brand loyalty.
I like cleaning my guns so much, that I’ll do a midnight session if I can’t sleep!
Thanks, yankee. This video is essential for any revolver owner. Thank you for such a detailed overview, of effective revolver cleaning and maintenance.
This man's lack of BS pleases me. Lol
Great video Yankee....you have one of the very best gun channels on the Tube...I really look forward to your daily whatever it may be....Thank You, Yankee
"Series of leavers" sounds like the title of a book about the women I've known.
With the short barrel and the competition cylinder release I think you've created the perfect carry revolver !! Thanks for all of your videos !!
0:27 carrying a revolver in anything other than a leather holster just has to be criminal. Great looking revolvers btw
Break Free CLP is my personal favorite. Keeps everything clean and running smoothly. I use it everywhere in my house. You should try it, it'll keep yah from feeling sore in the morning.
Great video! I like these how to videos. They really help us viewers maintain our revolvers. Thanks Yankie Martial!
Me: “Should I use lithium grease inside my 625?” 7:00 Thank God for Yankee Marshall
Very light lithium grease on your semi-auto rails is the only thing you should be using it for. Damn this guy uses loads of oil. I just use a little needle bottle.
The revolver cleaning video was most helpful - thanks.
You're welcome.
Bought a used 686 that has some serious build up in the cylinders, .357 casings are a bitch to eject after firing. Bore brush, bore snake, even tried that Lewis lead remover kit, nothing seems to put a dent in this crud. Saw a couple of vids about using bits of copper wool like Chore Boy entwined around a bore brush but was wondering if you had any advise?
I prefer to use a dry lubricant on the bearing on the cylinder. I prefer this because the oil residue can hold any powder residue that gets in there when you shoot. As he said, oil will attract and hold dirt. My preference is to use a little teflon (ptfe) powder, which is completely dry and does not attract or adhere residue. Hoppes used to sell it many years ago, but it is now hard to find. A number of model railroad shops on the internet have teflon powder. Also, rather than put oil on the outside and wipe it off, a silicon cloth does a great job of protecting the exterior of the gun without leaving a residue to which dirt or body oils will adhere.
Thanks Yankee. I am a bit older than you and come from a time when everyone owned a revolver. People today think you are at a disadvantage if you carry a wheel gun.
You are.
Nope.
@@darrengarcia4937Agreed.
Simple and straightforward... I've never seen anyone oil up a revolver that much though. 👀
The way I was taught to remove the side plate is to rap the frame, under the grips on the plate side, with a wooden or non marring hammer. The plate easily pops free and the risk of bending the side plate is is lessened.
Whoever taught you that worries too much.
Brownells must have made this vid just for YM. ruclips.net/video/NhUHVcVb_V0/видео.html
That is the perfect way to do it, if you want to have to try and reinstall all the parts the come loose with the side plate. It is just a junk suggestion. You will NOT bend the side plate. If it was the hard to remove the banging would not work.
I’m not attempting to call out YM. A careful person will make sure they don’t bend the side plate. I just figured I would share my two cents...
That is total bullshit. You will not damage the side plate removing it. Damage almost always occurs when putting it back. People love to make things seem harder to look like they know something.
That "Marvin the Martian" holster is pretty kickass.
Fantastic! Thank you, great video.
Your video properly lubricating a revolver what was the coating on that gun that was black and grey I like that like to do that to buy Model 28
So much info on this channel. Thanks! 👍🏼
Cleaning your revolver... Yes, It's a very enjoyable experience. Thanks for the advice.
Thank you for taking the time to film and publish this vid.
Nice simple work. Great video. Thanks TYM!
They say more than two shakes is considered playing with it LOL
"..after a few spritzes, give it a few shakes...then wipe it off"!! I love it. thanks for the informative video, have gotten really tired of the RUclips infighting.
I have used motor oil since the 70s while in the Army. What do you think of motor oil and Mobile1?
Ballistol metal cleaner is the best and safest stuff and a little Flitz metal polish with a soft toothbrush for tough stains. Once cleaned and dry use some Hoppe's gun oil on the moving parts. Then wipe down really good and you are done. And clean dripping residue in the morning like Yankee said.
This is how I've done it ever since watching this video. Works perfectly
i must ask why must the wood grips be taken off the gun whilst cleaning.. i imagine something along the lines of preservation but is that really necessary
It’ll make the wood rot
After extensive shooting I always clean under the ejector star I have had in the past unburnt flakes of powder stuck under the star..
I️ use regular 10w30 oil that you would put in your car for lubricant. Doesn’t dry up, stays oily forever. 1qt will last a lifetime.
chevrolet631
When do you switch to High Mileage?
chevrolet631 but where’s the oil filter? I can’t find it.
attracts too much dust
chevrolet631 I use 5w-20
Whatta Joke you change it every 3000 rounds....miles would be ridiculous
Excellent how to vid. I too enjoy cleaning, spending time, and getting a little weird with my revolvers.
A lot of people forget to lube the interior parts I believe it’s crucial to keep the inside mechanisms running smoothly
What do you use to clean nickel plated guns? I've heard Hoppes will damage the plating.
Borh revolvers r beautiful but i really like that blacknone. What is it. Also what would u recommend to put on a front sight? My taurus 605 doesn't have anything on it.
AWESOME CAT PHOTOBOMB @ 7:51 ----- How do you keep all the cat hair off your guns? LOL just kidding don't answer that. Great video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the video. I have semi-autos, but I am really a revolver guy at heart. I have not been running a wire brush down the barrel and cylinders after each time I shoot. I usually just run a patch and some solvent. How important is the wire brush?
i love the smell of hoppes !! grew up with that smell in my house constantly.. my dad was a gunsmith....
Great information I have the new taurus 605 defender 357mag/38 3"barrel Thanks 👍🏿✊🏾
Just get a good cleaner and use motor oil or ball bearing grease for most guns. Many garage door tell you to use ball bearing grease and most garage door get extremely dirty so nothing special is needed unless you gun is super sensitive. All lubricants will attract dirty and dust just clean the gun every time you shoot. It's that simple.
The model 327, hands down my favorite gun to shoot. It's a fine defensive revolver. Ankle carries as well.
Are you talking about the 32 great gun
You should never pry up the sideplate of a revolver, that part made me cringe. You can seriously damage your sideplate and frame that way. There's a very easy way to take it off by firmly tapping the grip with a rubber end of a screwdriver or small mallet. Other than that, great video!
+1
Dude, you are so wrong. If the side plate is stiff enough that you would bend it prying it off then you would also not be able to remove it with a hammer. That is just something people love to say when they don't understand what they're doing. Bashing with the hammer just makes Parts like the transfer bar pop out of place which then causes people to damage their side frame trying to put it back on. Try actually doing something for a change instead of just watching videos on it.
TheYankeeMarshal "a very locked in place, controlled system" that's what you said man! The transfer bar may pop out, but tbats easily popped back in, and everything else will stay put. I enjoy your videos thoroughly, I'm just pointing out something that I think is incorrect. I have just as much experience with revolvers as you do. Would I pry off the side plate of a steel framed revolver? Sure, maybe, if I was extra careful. Would I trust scandium (or whatever alloys they're using for frames now) to behave like steel and hold up to prying? Absolutely fuckin' not. There's a reason why professionals insist that the tapping method is the best way to remove a side plate. Your way may be okay for an experienced person, but I would NEVER recommend prying to a beginner who is taking off a side plate for the very first time.
Yankee didn't even use force when he took the plate off. Plus I don't think Yankee is tough enough to damage heat treated SS ;)
TheYankeeMarshal also, assuming your subscribers and patreon supporters (i.e. me) are stupid and insulting them for calmy disagreeing with you on a certain method in a technical disassembly video isn't exactly a recipe for success :-)
In the army we always do CLP so that's the only one I've ever been familiar with. All of my gun experience for the most part was in the military and I got plenty of experience trust me haha it was like civilian friends would be like oh let's go out to the gravel pit or the range and let's shoot and I would be like I think I'll pass haha I got paid to do that for 3 years I got to see them as tools got proficient with them but yeah we use CLP in the military. I've heard things about hops being bad on certain types of finish is that true?
@3:40 -"There's no real big differences in these lubricants." ......................Thanks for
@5:20 -"This oil won't gunk up on ya like a lotta other oils will." ;D ............... the good video!
Thanks for the lesson, and the follow up video. What type of bore brush do you recommend for the S&W 500 Magnum Yankee? I have heard different opinions between bronze and nylon and would like your opinion.
For me works the best bronze brushes, check on OTIS gun cleaning systems.
I just cleaned my new revolver for the first time, and like you, I put a little oil in the openings by the trigger, firing pin, and hammer...but as you’re a revolver officianado I guess I was much more sparing then I needed to be 😅...but...you did a no-no! You’re not supposed to pry off the side plate, it can dent it-the proper method is to rap on the handle with either a rubber mallet (lightweight) or a screwdriver Handle-and it will shake loose. (I learned this from watching gunsmiths on RUclips) thank you for the demo! Really interesting snubbies!
I haven’t taken my wheels guns apart, but you shared a couple of extra lube spots that will make my wheel guns function even better!! Thank You
I know you are the master of revolvers so I was wondering your opinion on the Ruger Wrangler and the Heritage Rough Rider
The master of revolvers.....yeah...sure...
I didnot see you clean under the extractor my son brought it to my attention. Still good information 👍🏿✊🏾
"I love cleaning my guns, you get to fondle them, and oil them up, and get all weird with them"
Naw, too easy.
Good timing! I get to pick up my 586 next week.
You will love it. I had a 686 but sold it. Have regretted it ever since.
Revolvers are fun, the bell of the ball in my collection is a Ruger GP-100, I do covet YM's S&W's though I will be getting a 686 + or Performance Center.
I like using snakes instead of the brushes jags. Also instead of using a qtip to push the cylinder pin in you can pull back on the cylinder release.
In your personal opinion would you do all the same procedures if you only had CLP break free or would you suggest wiping down the gun and using a straight lube afterward?
Thanks Yankee, I've been wondering about this process for awhile.
Yankee the cylinder on a used Smith 642 I just purchased is catching up when I go to release it. I think it's the center pin of the cylinder dragging across. Sometimes it opens fine others it catches depending where the cylinder is rotated. Any advice for a newbie?
Yankee, I am just getting into revolver's. I saw a video where a dude, did a full field strip of a revolver 💯. I'm not gonna all that. But I did take down the cylinder on my service revolver 🤝. I found a lot of gunk and grease inside where I dissamble the cylinder from 💯. Basically what I am asking is. Brushing 🪥 is still needed when cleaning firearm's ❓Spraying Ballistol, CLP, is just as good 🤔
I have a dumb question. I have bore brushes that are longer than my revolver's cylinder. So when scrubbing the barrel, is there harm in reversing direction without first making a clear exit from the forcing cone?
Wheelguns rock. I own two and they are awesome.
Everything I’ve seen says you should not pry the sideplate off b/c it could be bent/damaged. I noticed you did it gently and wondered if banging the grip frame to loosen it, as shown on other videos, would be better.
Hoppes no. 9 smells better than any of the competitors!
What weight bullet do you carry in .357?
at 0:08 how to "porperly" clean your revolver?...do your guns get alot of pimples from the harsh climate up there in the Pacific NW?
I personally use CLP to clean my semi's ,.but just yes, Hoppes for my revolver a Stainless 686 , 7 shot, in 357 Magnum ! As Yankee might say, Love your wife, love your children, but love and care for you guns and rights. Thanks
Quick question: I'm always afraid of getting oil in the firing pin, since I've had a gun that I bought that had light strike problems due to that. You don't seem so worried about it, spraying oil pretty liberally around there. Am I just being paranoid? I use Hoppe's oil too. Is rem oil less likely to gunk than that.
That is why I always apply the oil and then use the air compressor to blow everything back out.
Thanks for the video, I have a 642 and was wanting to see a proper instruction video on the subject.
No special care needed on a titanium cylinder? I was under the impression, per the manual, that a solvent with ammonia product was not to be used. Any issues with the finish on your cylinder?
I have a new revolver which I haven’t shot yet. Do I need to clean & lubricate it? Also, the cylinder release is very tight & difficult to open. Is there a way to loosen it?
I put hoppes no.9 lube in my s&w 29 down the hammer and around the trigger and it really smoothed the trigger out I could tell it hadn't been lubed in a long time
Lyle Bonney hey
I have a 357 Dan and Western it came in a case and it has four different barrels a 2-inch and 4-inch and 6-inch and 8-inch and two different hand grips and different color sites to put on it I never thought about taking the side plate off I really didn't know how to clean it like that
With guns, I am a clean freak TOO ‼️
Remoil is pretty much Tri-flow. I use it on my RC helicopters and my guns.
I have a similar "quickie" range visit habit but I use my own "homegrown" reloads so it is even cheaper. :)
Same ear protection as me! Love them. You have good taste in ear protection.
How do you clean the burn marks on your Titanium Cylinder ?
Alcsbiker he has a video on this subject. I personally use metal polish and scotch brite pad or cloth.
You sir are the reason i carry a revolver... I grew up on them.. Felt like i was bullied into the semi auto darkside lol... But i am now back to a revolver after i was fireing my carry semi and it jammed on me 3 times out of 200 rounds... It was a glock 43. I sold it and purchased s&w 637... Thankyou for your wisdom lol i can now sleep at night and not have nightmares about my semi jamming haha
John Doe dude ive owned glocks for the past ten years... Glock 17 19 30 and ive never had a problem... These jams happened with hornady critical defense and golden sabor... And one with federal 124 brass... I bought the 43 specifically to carry.. I wanted a pocket gun for work and everywhere else and that little single stack sucks... So i got a j frame... Suck it dude. Glocks can jam.. Get over it. Lmao "hardly" im not gunna have my life on the line when that "hardly" happens haha
John Doe awesome... You own revolvers and glocks... It doesnt mean my 43 didnt jam and that i couldn't trust it..
John Doe is a certified glocktard
John Doe think you are full of shit lol
Thanks for the great video
"Once I've given it a few hard shakes".........."Then I'm gonna wipe it down"...."The next morning, give it a little shake".......heh..heh..heh..
The KISS cleaning process!
Gotta love that gun. Great post, thanks.
people freak out when they see some one with a gun then the cops get called out lol hahah.
???🤨
The white cleaning part is called a MOP
0-20 synthetic motor oil also works really well for cleaning and lubricating.
I bought a Beretta 96 g recently and ordered all the Wilson combat stuff save for the trigger bar .. is there any benefit to the aftermarket trigger bar ?
How often do you lubricate your action on your revolvers? PLEASE REPLY.
Hoppe's and Balistol. Love em.
Ok, so quick video recap. Yankee talks about expensive lubes and how he likes to come up from behind. Also, like his last video the best part of this video is...Mazzy.
Long time subscriber... I’m from Vancouver too and have a membership at Safefire as well. I am a believer in Hoppes and Rem Oil too. Have you tried the Rem Oil Wipes? They last for ever and are not super wet but leaves a really nice thin layer of that teflon. I do my final wipe down with them. $8 for 60 at Walmart. Cheaper than online. Your OCD level is similar to mine so I thought I’d bring it up. Hope the move is going well. 👍
Check out midway USA cleaning video of cleaning a Smith 629. More tips and tricks. But yanks vid is ok.
Sometimes cleaning my guns is the best part of the day. It's the only time I ever mix alcohol and firearms. I never drink when I'm on the Range I never drink when I reload. But I will have a drink or two or three.... While I am giving my guns a bath. It's a good way to relax after a hard day of shooting.
I don't know how other people spend their time at the range but I am very focused and very centered. And if I'm centering a scope on a rifle it can get very tedious. There is also filling out your dope books.... Sorting your used brass.... And storing all your gear correctly. After all that I'm ready for Miller time! I just kick back and have a drink take my time cleaning and enjoy the smell. I know I'm a complete gun nut when I think there should be a cologne or perfume that smells like gun solvents and Gun oil. Lol!
