Taurus 692 question

[212Josh]

I recently picked up one of these on a trade. I have a few other Taurus revolvers but this one has interchangeable cylinders. The screw that would normally hold the spring and detent for the yoke had nothing under it. Is this correct? Any help would be appreciated and thanks.

maybe check on you tube for reviews or google for schematics and such. Nobody on here can help they are Toreass snobs

There are not many videos of the 692. The only schematic I saw looks like there is no spring and detent, I‘m just not sure.

Do you mean the front cover screw that holds the yoke in? The 692 should have a push button release to remove the yoke and cylinder. I guess I am not sure what you are referring to. Got any pictures?

Yes the front plate screw. It’s larger and hollowed out like it should hold a spring and detent. Yes you are correct about the about the push button to change cylinders. It does appear that a spring combo would not engage the yoke but seems odd to still have the hollowed out front plate screw and no detent and spring.

What purpose would the detent and spring serve?

I believe he’s talking about the forward-most sideplate screw. On many revolvers, it has a spring and detent in it that engages the groove in the crange yoke to retain it in the gun, but allow it to rotate.

In a S&W it’s called a yoke retention screw.

That is what I figured but in this particular revolver it does not use that screw to retain the yoke. The yoke is much shorter and used a spring loaded pin to hold it so it can be quickly changed to the other caliber.

This is where I’m at this point. It doesn’t need the spring/detent. I guess I was just hung up on forward most screw that holds the side plate is hollow, like something is missing. Thanks for the input.
