BBB Disassembly

Finally got around to a complete disassembly and cleaning of my BBB .357.
Pretty straightforward - nothing under any particular 'spring load' to go flying into space on initial disassembly and likewise on the secondary disassembly of the internal components.
About the only 'head scratcher' was with the load tube removal. I punched the pin out of the tube support and I could feel it was loose but would not budge.
Upon closer inspection at the underside of the forward end of the receiver is a small hole with what looked like a possible hex head set screw.
It appeared to be filled with oil so I blew it out and looked at it closely with a lupe and could see it was a hex set screw so I dug out an Allen wrench that fit it, removed it and the tube slid out.
Bottom line is very nicely fitted internals with sharp, well fitting small parts.
Pretty impressed with it overall.
