A revolver is made up of four main subsystems: (1) frame;

(2) cylinder; (3) barrel and sight; and (4) trigger, trigger
timing and hammer.
The Overall Process of REVOLBER

1. Forging - This is used to make the majority of iron and steel parts.
2. Casting - This process is often used to make small parts, especially those of complicated shapes.
3. Machining - This is a process that uses machine tools to finish parts that were made using forging
and casting processes. Rifling is also made by machining processes.
4. Stamping - This is a more modern technology and is used to make parts out of sheet metal, e.g.
trigger guards, parts of sights etc.
5. Woodworking - Used to shape stocks for firearms from raw wooden blanks. In modern days, stocks
are also built of other materials, so this is no longer as important as some of the other processes
above.
6. Metal treatments - There are many types of metal treatments. Applying protective coatings to
various components, rust proofing, heat treatment hardening of certain components etc. all fall
under this category.
7. Assembly - Taking all the components and putting them together to build the firearm
8. Testing - All reputable manufacturers perform testing of their products to make sure that they are
reliable and can withstand normal usage. In some countries, proof testing is mandatory by law

Forging the components


 1 The major components of most revolvers begin as a group of steel or stainless steel
blanks that are forged into close approximations of the desired parts. The basic shape of
each part is formed by placing a heated blank of material into a forging press and impacting
it with several hundred tons of force. This impact forces the metal into the forging die, a
steel block with a cavity shaped like the part being produced. Sometimes, multiple strikes
by the press are required, each with a more precise die than the previous step. The
resulting part is both extremely strong and very similar to final shape.
Cyclinder :- it is manufactured by process of casting or by drawing
process. By using Casting process firstly mold of a desired shape is
initially prepared, then molten metal is poured into the mold and allowed
to solidify. After getting the cyclinder shape drilling or milling is done to
creates holes in solid cyclinder.
