Smith & Wesson 686 Cylinder

[@kenesto]

I needed such valuable tutelage here,because the cylinder has such intricate parts.Putting even one tiny part in wrong or backwards in this machine means trouble! Enjoyed your comprehensive lesson.Thanks!

I learned from In Service Firearm Training Unit to never disassemble the cylinder ejector rod from my S&W revolver as it will cause a possible bent rod causing a problem opening up the cylinder. The proper way to assemble a revolver cylinder requires you to check the cylinder rotation whenever you remove it and torque it to factory specifications. The armory had special tools that was protocol when doing this. It was recommended to only clean the ejector star with a nylon brush to prevent crud from getting under the ejector star. They said it’s possible to damage the threads easily on the rod and cylinder. The reason people experienced a revolver jam is from a loose or bent rod.

I love the look of the un-fluted cylinders. I actually ordered one recently and am going to use this vid to swap it out. Thank you so much 🙏. The 686 is such a fantastic revolver

[@MikeJack]

Good luck with yours un-fluted cylinders, yes the 686 is a first class revolver.

[@Johnsormani]

You can’t just swap out a cylinder

[@dcaonoek]

this its the best disassembly video! no unnecessary talking.

[@MikeJack]

Thanks.

[@The1jonnyz]

And no music blaring either!

[@huyked]

Your dis/assembly videos are very useful. Thank you for taking the time to do this!

[@MikeJack]

Thanks I am glad you like my video.

[@TommyRibs]

Excellent Video, thank you for putting this together. I followed the exact steps today on a 686-3 that was beyond filthy. You could eat off of it now, but I had to break the Cylinder assembly down into all of these parts to remove the lead, powder and scoring. It took Ballistol, a lead away cloth and a brass brush, but I got it.

[@MikeJack]

Thanks I'm glad my video help cleaning your cylinder.

[@FM-Patriot]

I just purchased my first 686. It is a 686-6. Hopefully soon I will have a "-3" or "no dash" to add to my collection! I love this gun! ... This video is GREAT. I also like the complete disassembly and reassembly videos that you made. Can't wait to take the gun down . Thanks again for the video, I learned a lot.

[@ATINKERER]

Hi Mike i’m having problems with my 686 with opening the cylinder when I push the release button it will not release and I have to turn it on its side and hit the cylinder with my hand to knock it free Any suggestions would be much appreciated thank you Love your video

[@MikeJack]

I think the extractor rod is too loose and needs to be tightened more, as I do in the video.

[@RealDaisyDuke]

Hey, on reassembly i forgot the thin rod with tiny spring and now cylinder is blocked and i cannot open it anymore. Any hints? Preferably without complete disassembly?

[@MikeJack]

I think you should go to a gunsmith, the thin rod open the cylinder.

[@RealDaisyDuke]

@@MikeJack This i wantet to avoid but thanks for answer.

[@briandean7381]

Thank for the video question when you take the cylinder off dose it affect the timing on it when you shoot it if so do you have a video that shows how to fix that back to normal

[@MikeJack]

Hi Brian no it dose not affect the cylinder timing.

To unscrew, go clockwise, to screw (reassemble) go CCW.

@@MikeJack I'm putting a titanium cylinder in my J frame M&P 360. I'm assuming it's about the same?

i'm not sure but i think it's the same.

Excellent video how to replace the cylinder on a S&W

[@arvina3782]

I want to upgrade from the 6 shot to the 7 shot. Do I have to replace the hand as well?

[@MikeJack]

I'm not sure, you can ask Smith and Wesson.

[@TommyRibs]

There is some tuning that needs to be done and the hand needs to be adjusted. Smith and Wesson can do it for you. You have to send them the gun, but they can provide the Cylinder and do the tuning for you.

[@you-nh8xo]

Can this be applied to different revolvers?

[@MikeJack]

Yes to S&W revolvers

[@you-nh8xo]

Yes ship made in Vietnam ok no?

[@someguy5444]

Man I hope you got a discount for that unfinished cylinder, why do people pay more for less craftsmanship.. the flutes are what makes the cylinder look good.

[@bellatours9777]

No tienes un silindro de calibre 32 rebolver

I disagree.love the non fluted cylinder
