When I took my Taurus 66 revolver apart to clean it I lost the little plug and spring that goes inside the end of the set screw that holds the cylinder assembly in the gun. I am not very good at finding what I need in the exploded view in the manual but I think it would be the Yoke Retaining Pin and Yoke Retaining Pin Spring. The little thing went flying and it's so damn small I can't find it.
My questions
1) Are the names above that I think is the proper parts correct?
2) Is this an item I can get locally?
3) Why and I such a clumsy jackass?
Sure hope I can get these parts before 4/1 or I'm going to be miserable.
ACK!!! I lost a part

1) yes
2) not likely, I have spring and pin stock
3) here you go
Those are not parts you need to remove to clean a wheel gun.
Lesson learned.

Re: ACK!!! I lost a part
I should have said "try guncrank." oops
I had to take the sideplate off my 66 once when the ejector rod backed out a little and cylinder release latch would not push it far enough to open. Was not too difficult, but I would not do it unless necessary.

Cutting grass is the price I gladly pay for not being cold.

Re: ACK!!! I lost a part
Thanks Cranky.
I guess I misunderstood. You do or do not have the parts I need?
I will call Taurus in the morning if needed. I'm sure I can order them now that I've confirmed I have the right names.

See I said I got free stuff from the bull.KYgundude wrote:Yoke screw assembly (screw, pin, and spring) on the way. No charge, courtesy of Taurus. I'm impressed with the service.
Except when I called there was some much construction noise at Taurus I had to call back.
