I want to put some info here to help 1909-1917- New Service shooters. If you want a much better double action trigger, replace your main spring with a new main spring from a python. The size is the same, the tension is lighter. Change up the spring, take to the range and run some ammo through it and test for light hammer strikes. Be sure it works.
I received my colt commando last week and I had the time for disassemble it very similar to this m1917. My ejector when I tighten it goes past the lines markings and grooves. When I push the ejector and release it to go back in place it unaligns it self and doesn’t click back in place. Is there a fix to this?
Excellent. Mine had a pretty big dent on the barrel face. If interested, check out the Colt 1917 playlist on my chanel to see how I fixed it. And good luck with your detail strip.
I've watched it all already. My biggest question was about the carding and what that is. Also would you happen to know a good leather holster recamendation for it? I also have a H&R 1887 38s&w police as well it's an auto eject top break that needs to be renickled.
@@HiddeneyeInc Carding refers to using a stainless steel fine (and crimped) bristle brush (I got mine from MidwayUSA) to remove the surface layer of oxide that just sits on the surface and looks like velvet. The brush is called a carding brush I believe. Unfortunately I know very little about holsters.
Thank-you for making this video. I bought one of these and wasn't sure if anyone else had done this yet. I'm cleaning mine up but I'm not sure how far I'll go to refinish it.
Looking for advice. I have a colt 1917. looks just like the one your working on. I paid too much for it on gunbroker. the barrel is shot out!!!! the throat has no rifling for the first inch. it keyholes 5 out of 6 shots at 7 yards. Should I get a reproduction barrel from numeric for $163? I wanted this as a shooter. not a collector piece. its not that nice but it does have great action. or should I look and wait for months / years to find an original barrel? any where I should look? Love your videos!
@@MosinVirus ok cool. The seller offered me 80% value back if I returned. I followed your video and verified everything is top notch inside. Looks like it will be a good shooter. Maybe I will reblue it to match the barrel. Thanks.
My cylinder Latch is broken off , can I just take off the main spring, the hand, the rebound lever , and the firing pin to access the Cylinder latchpin. I can't open or take off the Cylinder. This 1925 Army Colt.38 seems to operate great. Its was put up for 2 or 3 years and actually gunk-ed up, froze and I forced the cylinder latch to free it up, but instead broke the cylinder latch pin. the part that sits in the release. Help! if you can. Thanks for a great VIDEO!!!
Thanks for uploading this valuable video.. got mine have an issue with the hand that turns the revolver... Trying to make it myself.. just need your help pass me hand measurements such total length .. width . Pin exact place.. cheers
Yes, I have later removed the barrel, set the shoulder back, recut the forcing cone, etc. All on video. Go to my channel, click on playlists and find the Colt 1917 one. All related videos are there.
@@MosinVirus , i do it couple of days !! No result ! With CASTROL DWF MULTIPURPOSE. The previous owner had put the screw over the crane lock pin. I was able to remove the screw but without the crane lock pin that stay in the frame.
Thank you. Yes, if you check out my playlists, you will find one for this 1917 revolver. I slow rust blued it, and actually did some major repairs on it after that.
Hello. I was wrong. I need parts and info on a 1892 colt. Especially the schematic . Any info would be awesome. I don't even know what's missing on mine.
Joseph Barnes I would check the same place, and if not, I would start looking at images of the disassembled 1892 or something like that. The parts are going to be familiar or similar to other models for the most part. As in, they will be identifiable.
Absolutely. It is soaking in rust remover right now. There was a lot of rust on it. Then I will figure out how to deepen the lettering and logos, and then proceed to surface prep and then bluing. Hoping to take video of the process.
Sorry to see that. Do you mean the trigger pin in the frame that the trigger sits on, or the small safety lever pin in the trigger? If it is the trigger pin in the frame, you will have to go to a gunsmith that has a press. If it is the small pin in the trigger, you can knock it out from the other side.
MosinVirus it's the pin in the frame where the trigger sits on. But can't I knock this one out aswell? On my Pocket Positive that pin appears thinner on the other side of the frame and larger on the part where the trigger sits on.
von HUEland it is also thinner on this colt. I think they are all like that. I think you will not be able to remove it yourself. They are pressed in using a press, and proper support for the frame around the pin hole. If you try to use so much force to knock it out, and without supporting the frame on the inside, you may bend the frame wall in, and throw everything off. I wouldn't recommend it. Unless your pin is already loose.
von HUEland well, in that case find a good workshop that can do this for you. I would just hate for you to damage the frame. But, if it was me and I had absolutely no alternative, I would do it myself by finding a proper size support block to put under the frame when removing and reinstalling the pin. Heating the frame may actually help too.
TriggerShims Thank you Lance. I did check the end shake, but it is not too bad, especially due to the fact that the full moon clips and rims of cases can sometimes push the cylinder forward a bit. I have actually bought some shims from Trigger Shims dot com for my S&W revolvers and my friend's Ruger revolver. They are great. Thank you for making them available.
Hello i wish to make the same as you did with the barrel and the cylindre for my S&W 1917 - is it the same ? i would need more info. can i write you an email ?
it must be late, because i just nodded off and woke up trying to pick up screws and spring from the gun in the video. dozing during zombie movies could get dangerous...

My apologies, didn't mean it as a slam, just noted its rather frequent use. We all tend to fall into verbal habits that we don't notice ourselves. I'm just glad it wasn't"you know?" I liked the video, you just don't see many on the inner workings of the old Colt DA revolvers. It was of special interest as I need to replace the cylinder bolt of my M1909 US Army Colt in the near future, and it has been several decades since I last did any smithing on a DA Colt. Thanks.
@@jamesnelson7415 Understood. Believe me, I also couldn't believe how much I used it. What is most interesting is that I dont when talking to people, but when talking to the camera it is a whole different story.

Outstanding! Would you please consider a complete disassemble/reassembly of a Taurus 942 22 LR 2" revolver? Thanks.
Thank you very much. If I ever get my hands on one I will definitely make a couple of videos about it.
Very helpful video for hobbyist who want to save money and work on their own revolvers.

I assume it would be easier to remove as many parts as possible so you dont have to wrestle with them during reassembly.
@@MosinVirus thanks for a great quick response, this really taught me a BIG lesson in keeping my guns clean and lubed, even if is put up for a while.
@@sarahgracebrooks2629 yes, crud can really turn a good day at the range into a bad one.

I disassembled mine and it doesn't have the safety mechanism. Now I wonder if it'll work .
You can try locating missing parts at Numrich Gun Parts.
Hey thanks ! Very good video on this revolver

Not sure, but could be the same.

Try Numrich gun parts.
Thank you very much
@@johnmiller4462 my pleasure.
Mine doesn’t have the screws on the opposite side to remove the cylinder. The only screw on that side removes the panel on that side.
Is it a Smith&Wesson?
Great video. Would this apply to the S&W M1917 .45 (Army) as well?
They are different. S&W is also simple though.
How much does it cost to send to Indonesia?
I don't deal with exports/imports. Sorry
why
I am very interested in this item, it is for shooting competitions / sports.
@@vanowarureja2644 understood. But I don't deal with import/export of firearms.
Is the firing pin supposed to be loose on the hammer?
Yes, it has to be able to change orientation when the hammer goes forward to strike the primer.
Any chance the barrel was removed? I have been looking for ways to remove barrel in order to replace with a rust free one.
Yes, I have later removed the barrel, set the shoulder back, recut the forcing cone, etc. All on video. Go to my channel, click on playlists and find the Colt 1917 one. All related videos are there.

Try Numrich (gunpartscorp)
The pin maintain rod barrel is jammed. Do you have a idea to extract it ?
You have to drift it out with a punch. Try going from the other side to the one you have been trying.
Thinks, t’ll try. And the crane lock is jammed too (The screw is over). How can i extract the pin crane lock ?
@@Miguel-Olivier try tapping on it to break it loose.

Where did you learn how to do this. I don’t think I could ever work on such a complex device.
This one was actually pretty easy. I learn by doing - just start removing parts one at a time and see how they work with other parts.
Classical gun and classical shape.
Agreed.
The cylinder in my colt 38 army special will not come out. also the trigger says back and doesn't spring back. Help please Thanks great video!!
I would take it to a smith familiar with Colt revolvers. Or I would need to see more detail on the issues.
Nice disassembly,can you do a video when a bluing is done? Keep up the good work :)
Absolutely. It is soaking in rust remover right now. There was a lot of rust on it.
Then I will figure out how to deepen the lettering and logos, and then proceed to surface prep and then bluing. Hoping to take video of the process.
That would be nice (video of the process) old school gun like that blued,should look awesome.
