NAA Mini Revolver Complete Assembly !!!

[@phantomshtter]

"Avoid that front hole." The best life advice you will EVER get gentlemen!

[@Ozkr7410]

Holy Crap!!! i was about to send mine in to have them put it back together. Ive been messing with it for the past 3 months.

[@curtisscott02]

I just bought the LR version of this gun. the guy sold it to me broken. The main spring was broke and the hammer has a chunk missing. I went on North American Arms website and purchased the main spring the hand spring a new hammer and without this video I would have been lost completely! The little locking mechanism was unavailable as well a few other parts such as the plate covering the parts.You are the man! Thanks a ton for posting this!

[@Handydandee]

Thanks to both of your vids i was able to take apart my mini revolver which the cylinder would not rotate in. Then after many curse words and failed attempts and flying springs i was finally able to put it back together and now the gun actually works! Thanks dude! saved me like 200 bucks

[@yangjackson5491]

Great vid! Only one i could find for my new Pug. I did find it easier to assemble the gun by assembling the hammer assembly (hand spring, hand, guide pin, pin spring, hammer) BEFORE placing it in the frame for reassembly. At least w/my particular firearm, when the hand and handspring are installed correctly, they will stay in place. And the other thing i did differently was i installed the cylinder spring/arm and pin that keeps it in place after i replaced the hammer. But w/o your vids, i would have been one frustrated garage gunsmith! Especially w/the main screw being a reverse thread screw. Keep em coming! By the way, i polished the trigger and hammer connection points for a smoother trigger pull...

[@butchmannyreiniche5382]

I just wanted to say thank you ! You saved me the pain in the ass of having to send it in. Wait the 2-3 week turnaround. For something so minor. You rock man ..

[@109ethan]

Thanks for the video, helped me take apart and reassemble my Sidewinder. Here is something I learned in the process that helped me out with the hand spring: I found it much better to go ahead and put the spring into the groove off the hand FIRST, then using a brass punch, I pushed the straight end of the spring into its slot on the hammer. Try that next time and see if it's easier for you, it sure was for me. Thanks again for the video.

[@luke197777]

Ive had one of these little guns for a while but it was apart and missing a few things. After watching your video I was able to order the parts and fix it. My aunt had given it to me after my uncle died and it has a lot of sentamental value to me. Thank you for posting this video it helped me fix my gun.

[@oysterfleet5669]

Thanks for that. I took my 22lr version apart years ago and it took me 2 hours to get that little spring and side plate back on.(I remember the spring looking a little different). I ultimately used a feeler gauge to hold the spring in place, but I think your method is the best.

[@jimplatt5815]

Thanks for the video @ChromeFreak123! I wanted to say I fought that little hand spring several times. I ended up installing the hammer in a half-cocked position, then once I got the side plate back on, I was able to release the hammer and put the hammer spring in. It went together fairly easy and all is well again! Great Video!

[@ingohiller3415]

I got the gun back together I took it back out of the garbage lucky some of the little pieces we're still in it unbelievable it's not the sprain it's the problem that played is so tightly fitted you can push it in right and you can pound it with a plastic, you have to use a plastic player to press it in there and that's the way I got it thank you for showing me all that I done the way you said it work!!!

[@javiermedina6425]

Thank you so,so much buddy!! I took my 22 Magnum apart to clean, and everything just fell out. I was going crazy, I did not know where the tiny parts went. And thanks to your video, I was able to put it together. After a few times, lol.. but really thank you my friend. God bless....

[@albikes8484]

This vid may be a few years old. But thank you for it. It made the job of installing a new hammer on my NAA Wasp nice and easy. As of 2018 they will sell the hammer.

[@chickenmaster2134]

late 2020 update, I was also able to order a hammer online.

[@jakmarlin8233]

Thank you for taking the time to put out a VERY informative video. While cleaning my lttie gun, I thought I was snugging up the side plate hammer screw. I was loosening it. As you mention, it's a reverse thread. My gun flew apart like a cheap watch - been sitting in a bag for a year. I will try your re-assembly method. Thanks again!!!

[@ChromeFreak123]

Pretty much all ammo except 9mm in FMJ's and any .22lr are still hard to come by. Good to hear from you brother. I will call you soon. : )

[@southfork67]

Thanks for the video! It came in handy for my first complete disassembly. I found that clamping the trigger down with mini needle nose vice grips with tape wrapped around the jaws takes the pressure off the hammer and made it a lot less difficult to install the hammer and side plate. It also allows the hammer to be installed in a more cocked position with less tension on that damn hand spring. It went into cyberspace on me a couple times before I clamped the trigger. After that it was easy. Thanks again.

[@gs1-j3t]

Great info and help. I could not get the hand spring in on mine though using your method. I had to put the screw in backwards to hold the hammer and then set at full cock put in the hand spring and left the stop spring loose. Then just snapped on the cover, My cover was very tight, and I had to use pliers gently, I'm old and hand do not have much strength anymore. It worked great, I put the screw in correctly and the rest was easy

[@markmcnown6797]

Thanks so much! You really helped me. Could not have done it without your video. That last spring is indeed a bitch. I ended up making a small groove in the backside of the part of the trigger where the straight side of the spring goes in. It would just not stay in, even with your specific holding advice. I'm a jeweler and am used to working with small stuff. This is large in comparison and I still had that thing pop out over and over. Cheers!

[@effyoo6081]

Mine is a naa companion cap and ball that has been in it's case since the little spring on the hammer dropped out and I had no idea where it went. As of today, it's back together. What a pain. It needs a lot more cleaning than a .22 or or mag also. The powder rusted the insides a bit but I was able to get clean and back in business. Thank you sir. 🙏🙏🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@Oberstein1]

Thanks! my gun has been in my safe in parts for a year. It was that dam little spring ! Again thanks. I will try putting it back together tomorrow.

[@ChromeFreak123]

With a little patience, you will get it. Thanks. : )

[@michaelshaffer9051]

ChromeFreak123 I suggest using some hemostats small hold the spring as you put it in that goes on the side there of the trigger.

[@jessecahn8214]

Thank you so much! With your help I am able to fix a broken Mainspring in my vintage 1994 mag!

[@hawssie1]

excellent empt for one thing that wasn't mentioned although I still should have noticed it, and that is to put in the trigger coil spring in! Its the first step and I had to redo the whole thing after an otherwise successful install do to neglecting that.

[@finoman100]

Yeah, I've been going crazy trying to get the sidebplate back on..That darn spring..lol.smdh Thx!

[@treeguyable]

Wedge a small screwdriver between the trigger and frame during the small spring installation, also helps line up holes for screw.

[@phillipbinion7264]

Thanks for the help! I had the index pin on the wrong side of the hammer. Stupid mistake. when I took it apart I lost the index pin & the hand spring. I was able to order both from NAA INC. I live in Indiana, I dont know if there are laws that effect the availability of parts in specific states. None the less, keep up the good how too's.

[@remybutorin2823]

Moving the hammer back in to cocked position while installing the hand spring makes the process much easier. also threading the screw that holds the side plate in from the other side the hammer in place. Install the bolt spring last as well.

[@ChromeFreak123]

That is the other piece I believe they will not sell. I am almost sure but could be wrong. They are great get off me guns. Thanks for watching. : )

[@jonburrows2684]

I'm getting ready to clean and try and fix mine. Wish me luck and thank you for making this video

[@ChromeFreak123]

Thanks Gary. Hope all is great my friend. : )

[@freeruncrazy]

The main spring is by faaaaaarrrrr the hardest part. At least in the lr version. Its stuid how much time I've spent trying to put it in. Probably spent 4+ hours and still cant get it to fit in the proper groove. It always slides forward.

[@treeguyable]

Putting the main housing screw in the back side, actually comes in to the frame a few thousandths, to hold the trigger mechanism in place long enough to pop the plate on.

[@airgunnerperkins6720]

Use a metal pan on top of a strong magnet as your operating table those little parts are no joke I wish naa would make a solid linkage system for the internals instead of a bent piece of wire to control the cylinder hand

[@bristol1312]

Thanks for the idea!

[@Buckuporbackoff]

I can get it back together I just can’t get the main hammerspring back in mine

[@ethanl7618]

This is the biggest pain in the ass to do, you made it look easy

[@ChromeFreak123]

You too. Thanks again and if you ever need any advice, let me know. : )

[@Michael-qn1gi]

Enjoyed the video very much! However, I was able to purchase replacement parts from online without going to North American Arms. the only part I couldn't buy was the frame because of the serial number. The index pin, the hammer, etc. can be purchased from other suppliers.

[@MyPeacock1]

That was much help! Would you happen to have any recommendations for trust-worthy part dealers other than NAA that sell one part other than groups. I guess I don't want to buy half the pistol for a spring I need,,hope that makes sense.

[@eugeneasher3788]

Great video I have a Charter arms version of this little gun, does the hand spring install the same way as the NAAs one? I can't find anything like your video for the Charter arms model, it's made almost exactly like this one, I purchased it about a month ago and it had several parts missing which I now have but haven't tried to assemble it yet, your video is very helpful in me attempting to do this. Thanks again.

[@donpettyandthespacefakers1798]

That last spring is so freaking hard I can’t get it that’s the piece holding me up for about month now lol

[@eugeneburton2356]

on my 22lr there are notches in the handle not a protruding metal piece for the main spring. I'm guessing I use the notch. just wanted to make sure it's supposed to be that way.

[@kevinhuber1522]

very good instructions - can you tell me what to look for if the cylinder dosent advance ?

[@TYOUNG0168]

Nice Job, Pal... Thank You.. Excellent on the details... Blessings to you & the family.

[@AndyTomT]

I got it first try with your help thanks my man!

[@smokey1174]

you can buy all parts on ebay too love this video man

[@saltwaterking79]

I broke the cylynder hand on one a while back. Still a great little piece.

[@emmanueldedios1860]

Great video I have broken my revolver,do you know some person in Miami by fix the sprint problem?

[@matts156]

Hello. I have an NAA Black Widow 22 Mag/22 LR revolver. I recently replaced the hand (Numrich part number 715290), but it doesn't seem to work right. The hand seems to want to rotate the cylinder before the bolt retracts. When I get the cylinder to rotate and the bolt catches the cylinder, I can't pull the hammer back all the way because the hand is still trying to rotate the cylinder. So I released the bolt spring and pulled the hammer back and the hand rotated the cylinder too far and the notch in the cylinder rotates a good 1/8" to 3/16" past the bolt. If I were to guess, it's like the hand is too long. Does the hand have to be fitted to the individual gun frame? I'm thinking that I could file the tip of the hand down a small bit at a time to make it work correctly but I'm not sure if that's a good idea. I can take a video of it if my description wasn't clear. By the way, thanks for this video. It helped me confirm that I was installing the hand spring correctly.

[@edwardleonen1442]

Is that barrel removable and can change into long barrel?

[@airgunnerperkins6720]

Use engine assembly grease to hold that pesky hand spring in place and make shure the spring isn't bent out of align with the grooves.Naa please give us a solid link system,maybe some type of sprockets and gears to make the parts move. Take a look at the double tap pistols mechanisms sturdy internals. I think you all can do better than a hair thin piece of wire to control the line up of bullets to barrel

[@shanetaylor6127]

Just wanted to see if you had a link to order parts??? Mine is missing the spring that puts tension on the hammer while it is cocked back.. Please..

[@ingohiller3415]

I got the note American Sidewinder I took it apart I had a hell of a time putting the big screw out for the Hummer and finally I got it out almost rip that screw it was pretty tight somebody put Loctite on there from the factory now putting it back together I don't know the only reason I took it apart as I buff everything. Customizer than it is worth more money at least I think so hopefully I get it back together

[@freeruncrazy]

You cant put the main spring in on an lr the way you did. I found a way but its near impossible and I need a second person to help and I'm using vice grip as a 5th hand.

[@cowboy7x]

Is it safe to assume that this also works for the 22mag? My new 22mag main spring was broke and I didn't notice it till I got home. Gun store covered it but I wanted to get a spare.

[@EbAbDbGbBbEb]

Can you get a hold of a wilkinson arms Diane? It's a .25 acp. I would like to learn how to fix it up

[@Freedom41269]

Where did you get the folding grip and where do you recommend to order a lost cylinder and cylinder pin from ?

[@billsmopars4927]

Hi, I am trying to reassemble a 22 LR NAA with the fold up holster. For the life of me I cannot seem to get the main spring into that gun. I presume the curved and of the spring goes into the hammer notch and the longer straighter part goes into the handle. Th spring seems too long by 1/8" or so. I'm reasonably strong, but can't bend it to fit into the handle. This gun has notches in the handle, not a perch on the forward side for the spring. Any advice? I hate to send it back to NAA just to install the main spring.

[@MarkBrown5150]

I don't know if you are still monitoring this channel. I have watched your video MANY times. I am still having a great deal of difficulty. I have never before ran into a firearm that I could not disassemble and reassemble - until this little thing.

[@Sinsmauler]

Very good video thanks , great help. Question: everything seems to be functioning on the re-assembly except the cylinder is not turning when hammer is pulled back . Suggestions???

[@Mr45Bullitt]

Excellent video Mike! In my favorites!!

[@justin77782]

I know exactly what you mean I was reassembling mine watched the spring shoot out and I thought I saw it land tried to pick it up and it was gone like a magic trick it made me crazy so I ordered a new one and never saw the old one again. It’s funny now definitely not at the time. 😂

[@teeron001]

THIS VIDEO SAVED ME!!! thank u!!!

[@hoborosser1785]

Thank you much I about gave up with your help I got it back together :)

[@bookie4able]

The 3rd part that NAA will not sell online is the cylinder advance hand...Believe me, I know...I broke one and had to send the whole revolver back for repair...They were great and fixed it for free, though!

[@xodarap37]

Would magnetizing the frame, or the parts, assist in keeping the small bits in place while assembly? Just a thought...

[@burleydad]

thank you very much!!!! you are a scholar and a gentleman!

[@kevorkianlabs6535]

Great video. very nice explanation. Thank you.

[@ChromeFreak123]

Thanks Bill, hope all is great brother. : )

[@ChromeFreak123]

No kick really. How you been bro., good top hear from you. Thanks.

[@RustyGunn7]

Thank you for showing this.

[@juankaulice2085]

Hello Gentleman, a very interesting video for a NAA weapon. But I'm looking for a video of the disassembly and assembly of a 22 LR Freedom arms mini revolver, naturally the disassembly and assembly is much more difficult than the NAA one. It would be a good idea to be able to make a video for KZbin and for people who have a 22 LR Freedom arms mini revolver, of the disassembly and assembly of said 22 LR freedom arms revolver, you could make a video of said disassembly and assembly of the mini revolver from 22 LR Freedom arms ..? I hope so and I would very much like to see it. I hope your vidio thank you very much Gentleman. All the best

[@juancisneros4480]

How much will you charge me to pull one back together

[@markhazel9360]

FYI...Just bought a hammer from NAA online. Delivered to my door. So if they used to NOT sell them...they do NOW. Thats why I'm watching this Vid. So i know what to expect when I go replace the hammer.

[@mercado391]

Whats up Mike love that little pistol,Thanks for posting this video its good info.Ive never shot one does it have a kick to it due to its size.Dam its been so hot lately lol take care dude:)

[@paulx2777]

It seems like you just snugged up the sideplate screw, but forgot to do a final tightening? Mine was screwed in pretty tight from the factory... I noticed that the sideplate screw slot was horizontal before I started, so I know how much to tighten it (within half a turn anyway).

[@paulx2777]

I finally got it together after multiple tries. I found that sticking the grip screw up through the sideplate screw hole (from underneath) located the hammer better so the thing would not fall apart while applying the sideplate from the top. Anything could be used, I just used the grip screw because it was handy.

[@backwoodsboy6006]

I have the same gun but the main spring is broken.. can you pls tell me what to make as a main spring????

[@garyhines9517]

has anyone done a trigger job on the pug? as i've aged this trigger is getting harder to pull

[@Theenemy38]

@ChromeFreak123 I just purchased some folding grips for my mini magnum and I discovered that when I close the grips, they cause the main spring to move out of place. I wonder if I think I should just order a new main spring to replace the current one. What do you think?

[@evanweightman527]

Well done and greatly appreciated.

[@mercado391]

Im doing great dude hope all is well by you.looks like the ammo is returning back :)

[@darealab2980]

great video just recently got one however the hammer is stuck in full cocked position and I can't pull trigger, any idea what's wrong?

[@darealab2980]

@chromefreak123

[@LarryeWhite61]

OMG there just went the hand spring and it's 1:35am. Crap it took me 5 minutes to find it.

[@seeaghost8576]

Thank you for making this video, you saved my ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your right the little springs make all the difference

[@donpettyandthespacefakers1798]

That arm spring keeps popping out of the groove can anyone help with that

[@gerald4888]

You are the man.. Great job thanks for sharing....

[@300zxdriver]

I have a weird question for you. I would like to remove material from the reward portion of the actual trigger (lower part) When I shoot it with preferred high grip,the trigger hits me in the knuckle. Do you know of any reason why the trigger is shaped that way? Or needed?

[@welbydashark2331]

Your video was spot on helpful but I just wanted to inform you, they sell the index pin & spring on NAA.com part#1250 & 1240. They cost me 3 bucks each.

[@cg5grimes]

I got the main trigger clip and can't get it to slide in to operate properly as if I have to try force to get it in can you give any advice

[@ChromeFreak123]

Thanks as always my friend. : )

[@ingohiller3415]

I don't know how the factory you can make that many guns they are so complicated to put them together

[@LarryeWhite61]

Took a break then had no problem getting it back after the ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ last night.

[@ChromeFreak123]

Excellent Gerry, lol. : )

[@GunWebsites]

Great video, thanks !!

[@rebelgunnut]

can you remove the barrel or is it impossible?

[@ChromeFreak123]

Its possible but not recommended. That would be a factory job IMO. Thanks.

[@rebelgunnut]

thanks, I really would like a sidewinder but with a +4 inch barrel(they don't make them). I love the Hogleg NAA (6 inch barrel) it out shoot my Browning Buckmark 22.

[@ChromeFreak123]

I love these little revolvers. They are made very well.

[@JonALewis]

What do you do to lighten the trigger? The thing's way too heavy...

[@toobeer]

I took mine fully apart and very lightly passed the trigger sear and hammer notch where the sear locks the hammer back, over a flat piece of 2000 grit wet and dry sand paper. Then I lubed it with molly grease and put the gun together again. The trigger lightened considerably, but not to a point of being anywhere near dangerous.

[@freshout0548]

What if the take down pin gets stuck ?????

[@stellajay8296]

hello sir would like to ask if you are still active thanks

[@javiermedina6425]

Cool brother, Take care.

[@Tater78HD]

Where have you been?

[@GARYMANDIEVAN]

Great video

[@remybutorin2823]

Numrich sells all the parts, just received them. Numrich is more expensive, so get what you can from them, rest from naa.
