Awesome video, best video I’ve seen on a j frame, clear and completely absent jumpy editing. Was worried about breaking into mine but this really made it clear.
Thank you very much for the detailed dis + reassembly! Saved me sending mine back in to smith or going to a revolver specialist gunsmith. My shop didnt have anyone who knows revolvers, so I choose to learn to deep clean mine and go into internals on my own. You really mean it when you say "take great care not to lose this spring" because every part and spring matters. I found that out the hard way 😅 lost my cylinder stop spring on removal, but called s&w and they sent me 2 in the mail free when I explained what happened. I was much more careful and better setup with my new spring and with some slight fumbles and fighting springs here and there, got everything back together and functioning perfectly. Cleaned all my internals up, and now my revolver functions better then new.. clean, smooth and springs broken in. Your video gave me the confidence needed and allowed me to learn more about and take better care of my j frame. Thanks again, so very much!! Many other videos just say "reverse the disassembly process" you didn't skimp on explaining important parts of checking along the way to ensure its done proper. 👍👍 if I could double thumbs up this video I would but I'll settle for a like and a long comment 😂👏
Literally saved my a**! Fantastic tutorial. I preferred tobre assemble installing the 16# spring last. My pistol is one of the '92 model 042's. Thanks again
I have a 442 no lock model, I put crimson trace laser boot grips on it, great gun, my only complaint about the j frame airweights is the finish wear, it's like it just rubs right off.
It's clear you know what you're doing but the video would be more helpful with some better lighting. I'm watching it on a 55 inch TV and couldn't see what you were doing at all. A simple desk lamp would allow us to see how and what you are doing. I do appreciate the time you took to make this video. One question, during the entire assembly process you never placed any oil or grease to anything, is there no lubrication needed at all? Seems hard to believe, but I am ready to assemble my Model 649 and I want to do it right the first time. Would a thin coat of gun oil cause any issues? Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
I asked the same question. Not a single drop of lubricant on anything. I'm hoping he replies to my question, I have 649 taken down and want to know before I assemble it. If I don't reply I will email S&W and ask them, or apply a very thin coat of Mil Comm oil to the components. This pistol is carried in Temps of - 25 to 115 degrees, God Forbid if I have to use it, it needs to work. Thanks
Thanks for the honest feedback. We will try to do a better job on the lighting next time. Or, we will use a weapon that isn't as dark in color. Again, thanks for your comment.

Thanks for the feedback. We are glad it was helpful.
You are a very good teacher - excellent approach, explanation, and clear video. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I now know what California screws are and I feel forever indebted.
Glad we could help!
Why does Smith & Wesson have such complicated locks ? What causes lock

Thank you very much sir, this video was exactly what I needed and very easy to follow.
Not sure I want to attempt this but nevertheless fascinating. Many thanks! 🙏
Thanks for sharing.
Sure thing. Thanks for watching!

Good job. Thanks
No problem 👍 Thanks for watching!
Very thorough, thank you.
Thanks!
You’re video was really good but , it would have been perfect , and one of the best on TH-cam, IF you would have had better lighting .. thanks 🙏🏿
My side plate near the trigger doesn’t completely close, any idea why that could be? Gun works fine and Ive tightened the screw near the trigger.
Is it needed to lube internals for revolver care and what is name of that tool you used on rebound spring? New revolver owner here

Thank you for vid but it was really hard to see what you were doing on a gun like that how on heck would do a tiger job
Thanks for the honest feedback. We will try to do a better job on the lighting next time. Or, we will use a weapon that isn't as dark in color. Again, thanks for your comment.
Yeah those tiger jobs are difficult. Dangerous even
