So I bought a used Rossi (Taurus) .22 revolver. The cylinder locks in place when the hammer is back. The problem is two chambers can be reversed with finger pressure with the hammer down. It is not a free roll after closing the cylinder. Again lock up is fine with hammer back. Hearing that Taurus is infamous for over lubing everything, I want to just remove the grip and give it a good degreasing. I don't want to remove the side plate if possible. This gun looks barely used so it could have been shot without a through cleaning beforehand.
I am not sure Rossi would fix it for free since it it is bought used.
My question would be what cleaner would be best that wont hurt the blueing? Since lock up is fine with the trigger back, is it still safe to shoot this way?
Would appreciate any experienced advice please. Thanks
