Lubrication

A revolver doesn’t demand the same attention to lubrication that an autoloader does. A few drops in strategic places is more than sufficient to keep your wheelgun running.

For proper ongoing lubrication, you’ll need an oiler with a long spout. I’m not fond of spray lubricants, as they deposit far more material than is necessary and usually just make a mess. A simple oil can with a spout that can deliver a single drop precisely is all that’s needed. I prefer a one-ounce bottle with a needle applicator, which will hold more than enough oil and allows me to quickly and easily lubricate as part of my cleaning routine.

After all the cleaning has been done, there are three points that need some lubrication. First, open the cylinder and apply a single drop to the crane pivot. Open and close the cylinder several times to ensure that the oil is distributed properly.

With the cylinder open, invert the muzzle and apply a drop of oil to the small gap where the front of the cylinder meets the crane. Spin the cylinder to work the oil into the mechanism, then apply a second drop and repeat.
