Stiff cylinder on Colt Trooper

[cote_b]

I picked up a nice Colt Trooper last fall, and lately Ive noticed that the the cylinder is very stiff when trying to turn it, when its swung out to be loaded or unloaded. It does not spin freely. Ive put about 150 .38's and 70 .357's through it since Ive bought it. Is this normal?

Did you try taking it apart and cleaning it and then lubing it? Is the ejector rod starting to loosen off?

How the heck do you even take it apart? Ill check youtube I guess. Its getting worse every time I take it out. Today, it was so bad that I couldnt even #### the hammer sometimes.

I had that same problem on a Ruger revolver and it was just build up of crud on the ejector rod, as suggested.

I didn't take mine apart, just sprayed cleaner in there and it loosened up.

Yep, that did the trick. Cylinder is nice and loose again. Thanks guys.
