That was well shown and explained. I like that you just simply stated what the purpose of the part was, how to remove, and replace it in clear and not overly complicated way. Kinda takes the fear of screwing up out
That was just what i needed. I needed a walk through on disassembly before i started taking screws out. Perfect camera work. I was able to zoom in and see every step.👍
Excellent video, just 1 suggestion. When working with springs wear some eye protection. Springs should behave but the scratch on my glasses have reminded me otherwise! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the comment. I did this for a great friend and would accept nothing for payment. The fact that it was his dad’s and I could repair it with no problems was payment enough.
Good video Kevin. I love the fact that you spoke in a clear concise manner. You also, didn’t embed background music! I do suggest however, that you do a few more close ups. I know it’s hard to do it by yourself, but maybe someone else can hold the camera while you’re showing us the gun. Don’t take this as bad criticism. It’s just really hard to see what parts you’re showing because the camera was too far away. I’m going to sub to your channel because you seem like a nice guy!
Thank you. I agree the camera work want the best. I did it with my phone and a makeshift bracket to hold it still. Please rest assured future videos will be better, I hope. Again thank you for the comments and for the sub.
You can also put a drop of oil on it and depress it several times working the oil into it. Same for the cylinder release latch and the cylinder ejector rod.
Excellent how-to video sir. I stumbled upon your video because I was planning to buy a taurus 856 and i want to know more about it’s common problems. This will help a lot. Thanks. May I suggest an over the top shot for your future tutorials for a novice person like me. I subscribed. More videos to come. Regards from Philippines.
Thank you for the positive reply and suggestions. I agree, future videos need to be done better. This was my first one and I did it with my phone without any type of holding device. Keep you eyes open for better videos in the future. Kevin
That was useful thanks, I would give anything to be able to own these guns again my Taurus 66 has to have a 12 inch barrel by law but I still love it used to have a chiappa rhino what a lot of crap that was, the frame cracked and they blamed me for it wouldn’t pay on the warranty lost £1500.
I got an 856 the trigger gets constantly jammed. I tried disassembly and clean but no luck. I’ll give it another try, I know what spring you’re talking about.
Taurus has had a bad Reputation for poor quality guns over the years. I really loved the finish on that Taurus, were the older ones better? and do you know what years of Taurus to avoid? I really like the looks of those and have heard many great things about those 85's. I was thinking about buying the 905 to have it in a 9mm..I was hoping you'd give me a little insight on them if you could. Thanks for this great video. It looks well made but it must have gotten pretty dirty over the years from dust and hand oils. That's my guess on it. you did an amazing job fixing that. I probably would have put an upgrade spring kit in it at that point, but you managed to fix it and keep it all original. Great job man, I'm sure the guy was quite happy to have it back 100% again. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Peace..
Thank you for the positive comments. I don't have much info on Taurus firearms other than what I've heard over time. This repair was for a great friend of mine. It was his father's concealed carry and he was so happy to have it working again.
Any reason why you did not employ the use of blue locktite ? Especially on the screw just above the trigger. THAT screw on my Taurus 942 and 905 always needs periodic snugging.
That is a valid question. In this case I didn’t feel the need. My friend does not use the piece often of any and I found no remnants of locktite when I disassembled it. A small drop would not have hurt. Thank you for the comment.
I have a similar problem , same gun , when I pull the trigger or pull the hammer back it stops half way and if I push the cylinder eject button backwards it allows it too fire and rotate ,
I have a Taurus 856 38 special. The cylinder spins nicely if I dry shoot with dummy ammo, but when I shoot live ammo the cylinder gets jammed and the trigger gets stiff. Any suggestions? Nice video, BTW. Congrats!
Thanks for the comments. I suggest disassembling your revolver as I did. It may be as simple as the internals is dirty like the one I took apart and the pressures generated when firing is causing it to get jammed up inside. The other thought is the internals could be so dry depending on age and your climate and it needs to be oiled up. Either way, if you feel comfortable doing it, take your time and care when taking it apart and it will give you a great feeling doing it yourself.
I do apologize, this was my first video and it was done with my phone. I agree not that well. Keep your eyes open for better ones in the future. Thank you, Kevin
I can say I own neither a Taurus or High Point. That's mostly because I have never found anything from them that I like. High Point, I would never waste the money on and would not even accept it as a gift.
@@armageddonoutdoors439 I'm there with you but not everyone is fortunate enough to be that picky. I must admit I did purchase a High Point 45 carbine a long while back. It never failed to fire but due to the poor trigger I could never hit anything with it. Sold it soon after I bought it.

You Sir have a great future in showing people how to do difficult and puzzling things. Thank you VERY MUCH.
Thank you for the comment.

Great and wise suggestion on your part!
For your first video I loved it! I love the blooper part also!
It is very helpful and easy to follow step. I am thankful for the Way you kept it in a fun and easy to follow instructions.
Thank you for the kind words.
I wonder who remembers the American Sportsman sponsor was Falstaff Beer. This was in the late 60s they did some TUFF hunting in Africa.
Thanks enjoyed. I have a Taurus 856 Ultra Lite
Thanks for the comment.
Well done!! Hope to see more...
Great work on an excellent and beautiful revolver. Great heirloom. 🎩☯️♠️🏁
..."excellent" revolver??...nope!
Helluva nice job for your first video. As well, nice work the the Taurus.
Thank you for the positive remarks
Great instructional video! Hope he bought you a steak dinner for the fine work you did.
Thank you for the comment. I did this for a great friend and would accept nothing for payment. The fact that it was his dad’s and I could repair it with no problems was payment enough.
@@armageddonoutdoors439Definitely glad it worked out, pretty awesome you got it back up and running.
Congrats on your first video! Well done!
Thank you for the positive comment. I need to put together another video and hope to soon. Keep an eye out for it.
Good job!!!! Now most people including myself......even watching this video, would never attempt taking all that apart...lol.😁

Great 👍 video thank for your time.
Thank you Theresa.
Taurus have beautiful guts.
Very well done.
Thank you for the positive note Robert.

Ahh
In my Taurus (not SS but black steel) twice I found broken on two pieces the transfer bar. 😬
That was great !

Thanks for the comment.
Do u live in UK? But chiappa rhino has only 4" ?
Good job
Big help im buying the 856 good to know how to work on it without having to take it to a gun smith
Very clever
That looks like a 90's Taurus!

Do you know what size screw goes in the grip
I have a similar problem , same gun , when I pull the trigger or pull the hammer back it stops half way and if I push the cylinder eject button backwards it allows it too fire and rotate ,
Have you tried taking it apart like I showed? It may be gummed up inside like the one I was working on.

@@armageddonoutdoors439 thanks a lot for answering my question. You just gave me the best gift, part of your time!
@@asclepioesculapio3522 I hope it helps. Let me know what you find.
Maybe, you make more videos like this
Your video is very important but I can hardly see the parts you are talking about.
I do apologize, this was my first video and it was done with my phone. I agree not that well.
Keep your eyes open for better ones in the future.
Thank you,
Kevin
Can you help me
When you film with a cell phone the pictures are to small to show the important details.
There shouldn’t have any issue with any gun they sell. Taurus should be stopped making crappy guns. This is a huge safety issue.
Information’s good I just can’t see anything because of poor video size if you’re going to do videos think Full screen !
I would rather have a High Point than a damn Taurus.
