GunBlue490 is a factory trained, certified Smith and Wesson wheel-gun armorer who studied for two full weeks under the tutelage of S&W's production engineer John Contos during the heyday of revolvers in the 70s. He has spent many years using his skills on official police and privately owned revolvers, using factory techniques and skills that he learned at S&W's manufacturing plant in Springfield, Mass. Learn the basics of proper care, disassembly, and inspection of this most classic of American handguns, and discover what few gunsmiths have ever learned about closely guarded S&W factory methods.

This is not an armorer's class, of course, but during this rare, free lesson, you will learn to open up, disassemble, inspect, and identify proper function and potential problems, and will also learn how to properly lubricate, and maintain your S&W wheel-gun in perfect condition! As with all other GunBlue videos, nothing is left to imagination, and every aspect is covered in extraordinary detail, while he takes you step-by-step through each working part of a beautiful, rare, 1976 vintage Model 25, chambered in 45 Colt. This video is nearly 1-1/2 hours long, so make yourself comfortable and relax. You will want to revisit this video many times!
