Interarms Virginia Dragoon

My son just acquired an Interarms Virginia Dragoon in 44 magnum and as it turns out the cylinder doesn't. Well, that it, it doesn't usually turn when the hammer is cocked. I suspect it's going to turn out to be a spring issue, because on occasion it will turn when cocked. I'm planning on taking it apart to see if I can determine what the problem is, however I'm wondering if any of you folks can shed a bit of wisdom on what I might run into in terms of disassembly/reassembly?

Revolvers are not very easy to work on. They're easy to get apart but getting every thing timed can be a chore. The first thing is see if you can find the armors manual for the gun. Try here http://www.stevespages.com/page7b.htm

Take plenty of pictures as you take it apart.

Do a close inspection of all the parts to see if any need replacing, hopefully you want need any.

Blue,

Thanks for the tips. I've taken apart plenty of rifles and semi-auto pistols, but I do not believe I've ever disassembled a revolver. I believe parts are just about non-existent for this gun, so I'm hoping its something simple.
