Just bought my first revolver. a Taurus model 85 Ultra-Lite in .38 special...

I have many semi auto pistols but this is my first wheel gun and I have no idea on how to clean it besides the obvious barrel cleaning...

What should I oil on this gun and what needs to be cleaned???

This was a used gun and didnt come with a manual....

Does anyone know a phone number so I could talk to Taurus about aquiring a manual for this gun......Thanks! drf

I very much like what this chap has to say.

After perusing the numerous cleaning solvents, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Cleaning Your Revolver (http://www.geocities.com/kemays/cleanrev.html) link. (Or click right there)...

There ya go!

Drf, manuals are available in pdf format from the www.taurususa.com website. Specifically:

http://taurususa.com/products/gunselector-results.cfm?series=SF2

The above link should take you to a list of revolver models. Just click on yours and at the bottom of the page is a link to the manual.

By the way - congrats!!
