Well done Sir! Bravo 🙂
good morning
Hey there, I have a model 80 identical to the one you’re holding. The trigger locked in the fire position one day and I haven’t been able to restore the double action, if you know the fix would you consider posting a video on how the double action works so that I might be able to remedy this? Thanks!
Sir, thanks for this very informative disassembly video on a Taurus "classic", the early Model 80. Have collected the older Taurus Revolvers for a while and have found these older Taurus six-guns loaded with factory production extras. Those decorative "linear lines" that are present on the early Model 80’s. 82, 84, 65, and 66 are unique for service .38’s and .357’s. Those lines (present on your Model 80) run through the cylinder flutes, the top strap, and front sight were "expensive" to manufacture into production. Features like these linear lines, were present only on the high dollar S&W Model 27 (early models) six-guns. Those 27’s were high dollar six-guns, even in earlier times and Taurus was adding these custom features as just part and parcel of Taurus manufacture. The linear lines were discontinued sometimes in the mid-70’s, due to manufacture expense. Those early Taurus guns (Model 80) were 5-screw copies of the old S&W Military & Police Model of 1905 4th Change revolvers. The inside workings were quite different as Taurs utilized a coilspring instead of a mainspring trigger. The humpback hammer feature of the older S&W M&P was present on these early Taurus Revolvers. The empty weight of the Taurus 80 mirrored the empty weight of the S&W (30.5-oz.) and I really appreciated the silver bull medallion in the walnut grip panels. At the time of their manufacture most South American Defense Forces were outfitted with the Taurus 80 and 82 Models. They came in a beautiful factory blue finish or a bright nickel finish. The 4-inchers in blue steel were the most popular and the subject of large contract orders with police, sheriff’s, marshal’s, Defense Forces in Central and South America, and civilian sales. I didn’t start collecting the older Taurus Models until a few years ago, with my first purchase of a well worn beater Model 80. I got that bad boy home from a local gun show and from there started researching a firearm that I use to turn my nose up at. None of that crap, no sir, not anymore!
Clássico
Great tutorial! Have one of those too and once removed the side plate…and the hand, with that teeny-weenie spring, fell OUT when removing with me NOT knowing exactly how the unit was attached. Devil of a time figuring out how to reattach: I placed the hand where it functions from (not on the side plate where your video depicts) and used a straightened paper clip to hold the teeny hand spring in place via that small orifice whilst pushing the plate back on. Luckily the revolver worked. I was never aware the hand was attached to the side plate! MUCH EASIER I see NOW to reinstall the side plate! 😂LOL! Thank you for posting!
A friend GAVE me the ca. 1980 Taurus in 1995, because it needed a new hand, ratchet, and cylinder stop spring…all performed by a gunsmith. I first tried to “play gunsmith” when I removed the side plate. I capitulated when seeing all of those intricate parts, and called a smith.
Functions flawlessly and is in pristine condition.😃
