I have a 38 revolver that I keep loaded for protection. Today I take it out to look at it and the cylinder has rusted shut with the ammo still in it. What should I do?:confused:
 
soak it good with Kroil and it should come loose.If it still frooze push the latch and tap it with a dead blow hammer.
 
Wow. Must be very humid where you live.

If you soak the gun with oil throw away the ammo loaded in it as the primers may be dead.
