I love Ruger revolvers but I swear the monkey on the line tasked with thread-locking their cylinder release screw must sleep through much of their shift. The only consistent issue I've ever had with Rugers is that flipping screw backing out seemingly due to no/not enough goop on the darn thing. Years ago I just started automatically pulling them from new guns and slathering them up good, none have backed out since, but geez

what am I missing here? what screw?

never mind, I see it. its the screw that holds in the cylinder latch/release.

Carmady--thanks for posting the link in #20 to the LCR disassembly/assembly video. I thought it was very cool!

thanks for posting the link

Sure, this one is from the same channel, it shows how the LCR works. I like the part at the end where it only takes three clicks to realize all five were fired.

I just checked my lcr 357 and the screw was backed out almost all the way, probably 10 turns or more. I put a drip of blue lock tight on it and bottomed the screw out again. My screw had no tention on it at all when screwing it back in making me think there wasnt any locktight on it at all before.
