There's a fair set of instructions in the manual

Hi tim56, this may sound a bit lame but it's really not hard to dismantle a Ruger Old Army.
As was said in the previous message the instructions in the manual are there and quite clear.
Being a man, I 'psycologically' (*poor spelling) refused to look at the manual and dismembered my pistol slowly and then re-assembled it in reverse (after cleaning).
I don't think what I have said will be much help but have a little confidence in yourself.

Regards.
Brian


Nice one Roy - thanks

Got to agree with Brian. Stripping down an OA all the way, is really quite simple. As with all my revolvers, they get a full strip down every three or four outings......

The greatest revelation I ever had in cleaning a B/P revolver was the switch to 777. Plenty of running clean water and a tooth brush. Five minutes and it's sorted. A going over with an old hair dryer to dry it off a spray of WD40 into the mech and lighly oil the barrel, chambers and outside. Done.
