2. (Refer to Figure 1, p. 20). Align hammer in frame and insert hammer pivot
with the grooved end of the pivot on the gate side of the frame. (The long
screw, XR01901, when also inserted on the gate side, will intersect the groove
and lock the pivot in place. See step number 11, p. 22).
3. Replace cylinder latch and gate detent
spring as shown in Figure 3. Note that
the lug on the cylinder latch fits
between the arms of the gate detent
spring and that the end of one of the
arms of the spring is formed...

11. See Figure 4, and note the end of the trigger spring (the arrow marked “A”).
This end of the spring must be depressed so that it slides under the rear
portion of the trigger when the grip frame is forward. With all the above
springs and plungers aligned, fully mate the grip frame and cylinder frame
and install the five grip frame screws. Note that the long screw (XR01901)
should go in the grip frame hole on the gate side (Figure 4-B) of the revolver.

Firing a revolver with oil, grease, or any
other material even partially obstructing the
bore may result in damage to the revolver
and serious injury to the shooter and those
nearby.
Do not spray or apply lubricants directly on
ammunition. If the powder charge of a
cartridge is affected by the lubricant, it may
not be ignited, but the energy from the
primer may be sufficient to push the bullet
into the bore where it may become lodged.
Firing a subsequent bullet onto the
obstructed bore may damage the...

Never place or store any firearm in such
a manner that it may be dislodged.
Firearms should always be stored
securely and unloaded, away from
children and careless adults. Use the
locking device originally supplied with
this firearm for storage.
The use of a locking device or safety lock
is only one aspect of responsible firearms
storage. For increased safety, firearms
should be stored unloaded and locked in
a location that is both separate from their
ammunition and inaccessible to children
and any other...

any of these abrasives, proceed with care and use light pressure to achieve a
blending of ‘color’ with those areas that are not discolored.
Exposed surfaces on the firearm should be cleaned and wiped dry after use or
after exposure to adverse conditions. If the firearm is to be stored, coat it with a
light film of oil or preservative. Where the firearm is in continuing use, and the
presence of oil or grease would be objectionable, then the external surfaces can
be coated (after cleaning and drying)...

SIGHTS
(ON REVOLVERS SO EQUIPPED)
ADJUSTMENT –Each click of the sight adjustment screw (either windage or
elevation) will move the point of impact of the bullet appr
oximately3/4” at a
range of 25 yards. The height of the front sight has been set to take advantage of
the elevation adjustment in the rear sight, considering the various ranges at
which the gun is most likely to be used. Barrel length and load used affects
trajectory. Therefore the shooter should determine sight settings by firing...
