I've taken apart quite a few Six guns. I did not take the cylinder apart. I have the cylinder out of the gun and was cleaning it and the cylinder latch plunger, the little rod that has a spring with it and depresses fell out. I picked it up and it looks fine, but it has never fallen out of any other Six I have. Does it thread back in? I don't see how. I can put it back in and the spring still works with it. Is it simply held in place by the cylinder being put back into the gun?
Also, when I put the hammer strut pin back through the hole in the hammer it doesn't sit 100% flush. With gun back together everything works, but pulling the trigger with the grips off, the hammer strut wants to walk out. With the grips on the gun that is prevented but I don't think it's supposed to do that.
I just got this gun. It's a PD trade in and it was filthy. I took it apart and soaked it in automatic transmission fluid for 5 days. The light rust that was in it is gone and gun looks much better, but I'm wondering about the two issues.
