Not at all, I asked as I don't know what the score is regarding being granted a firearm certificate in the UK nowadays.
In Canada you need to pass a proficiency test. When I took the test I just challenged it, now attending a course is mandatory.
Yes you have to prove you have good cause to have a firearm, being a member of a shooting club or having permission to shoot on someone's land ticks this box. In order to prove you're proficient with firearms you have to pass your probationary period at a club, at which point you'll be offered full membership. Only after being offered full membership are you allowed to apply for a firearms certificate. You don't have to prove you're proficient with a specific type of firearm in order to apply for one, although it may help your application if you can prove you gained experience during your probationary period.

You can also take the cyclinder off by undoing the ejector rod, ejector rod comes off, pull off star then cyclinder. The reason the cyclinder gets stiff to turn after so many rounds is because the gas ring on which the cyclinder sits on get clogged up with carbon and lead due to over large cyclinder gap and to crap design. You have to clean this gas ring regualry to avoid this. I clean my revolver every 100 rounds and I remove the cyclinder. Also give a squirt of gun scrubber on the inside of where the cyclinder stop come up.

I spoke to Valmont Firearms yesterday about a new spring, so hopefully he can source one for me.
Thanks for the info.

it sits in the undercu on the yoket, which allows the yoke to rotate open, but not move laterally.
and reading simg's instructions, if the bit that went in first, came out last and vice versa, it would be assembled correctly, or am i missing something?
When guns are outlawed, only Outlaws will have guns
It's currently sitting in the hollow screw on the right hand side of the frame (wrong place) and everything's working as it should, but I will put it in the right place when I take it apart over the weekend.
It came out last from the hole in the frame that accepts the yoke, spring and plunger. i.e. the yoke came out of the frame, then the spring/plunger and then behind that was the "pointy bit", which is why I thought it had fallen through from the right hand screw hole.
