Hey everyone, I had a guy that had this old hand me down 'S&W .38 Special CTG' It's a really old beat up gun with most of the finish gone. The cylinder would stick when you try to open it. He wanted it cleaned and working well enough to shoot. I took the side plate off, sprayed it with gun blaster, and hit it with a toothbrush. Then I wiped everything down and oiled it up. Put it back together. Cleaned and oiled the chamber and yoke while it was off as well.

Chamber would now swing freely when now when it was out of the gun, but would still stick. I played with it and found out that if I barely pushed back on the cylinder it would come out with no problem. I figure the front of the cylinder is getting caught on the little piece of barrel that juts out. I forget what it's called. Anyway, does anyone have a guess as to what's causing it to catch and what I could do to fix this? I also want to say that when I pushed on the ejector rod instead of the cylinder it also got loose and came out correctly, but I'd have to go do it again to make sure. Thanks for all the help.
