Decided to deep clean my 744 today and took a few pics to help anyone along that needs it.  I usually do this for reference when things don't go back together the way I "think" they should.

Best Regards,

Ron

The second and third pictures show the relation/ positions for the trigger, hand, hand spring, connector, strut, and hammer.  The purpose was to ensure I inserted the hand spring correctly.  Hope that helps.

Somebody needs to youTube an instructional.

Unfortunately, I am not qualified.   Also, I have a face for radio, and a voice for newspaper.

Good vid, but I would have liked to have seen the reassembly also.

HEARD that! Both sets of instructions are just like “rEaSsEmBlE iN rEvErSe”. Not super helpful.
The thread trick was incredible though. Despite having no idea what I was doing, I tied the hand and connector together and was able to get it back together first try then remove the thread.

Guys, please look here... Large Frame Disassembly Tutorial Pic's Reloading, Gunsmithing and Grip Making Forum Dan Wesson Forum

This is a very old thread that has a bunch of great info regarding the large frame DW's. I think I have personally re-posted those photos 4 times now, because that thread is so old, and the interwebs gremlins keep happening! lol2
