I just acquired a Ruger SP101. I attempted to strip it to get the gunk off and to affix my preferred lubricant. Regardless what I do or what I use as helper, I cannot depress the spring-loaded lock work disassembly pin. With a maximum effort using flat tip screwdriver, I think I detect the pin moving almost imperceptibly. Yes, I did put a tiny amount of Kroil on the cylindrical hole that contains pin and spring.
I have MCTD, a "full-featured" autoimmune illness, whose symptoms include rheumatoid arthritis - among a constellation of others. I cannot confirm whether the problem is my hands, or is it inaccurate disassembly? I haven't disassembled a Ruger double action revolver in I-can-remember-when years. About the only way I can think of to get the revolver field stripped is to drive to Missoula (80+ miles each way) and have a gunsmith do the job.
This should solve the problem this time. But what about the second time?
