Is there a difference between a 38 special and a 38 auto?
While there ARE specialized target auto pistol that are in caliber .38 Special, they are quite rare. The .38 Auto, and the .38 Super are both different cartridges from the .38 Special, and do not interchange. For everyday purposes, the .38 Special is a revolver cartridge, and the .38 Auto a semi auto pistol cartridge.
How do you tell what kind of frame a smith and Wesson revolver is?
The small frame revolvers, Models 36, 37, 60, etc. were five shot and they were built upon the "J" frame.
The medium caliber revolvers: Models 10, 19, 13, etc. mostly in .38 Special and .357 Magnum were built on the "K" frame.
The larger guns like the Model 29, in calibers such as .44 Special, .44 Magnum, .45 Long Colt, and I believe perhaps .41 Magnum were built on the "L" frame.

How do you take apart a Smith and Wesson model 10?
Smith & Wesson revolvers are not INTENDED to be taken apart by the owners- to clean and maintain the weapon does not require disassembly. Please contact S&W and request an owner's manual- no charge. The cylinder crane and the sideplate cannot be removed except with the use of tools- and the tool must fit properly, or you will certainly damage the screws. The sideplate is made to fit so snugly that prying it to remove will damage it. Would STRONGLY suggest that you take it to a competent pistolsmith if there is a problem with the lockwork. There are spray gun cleaners that can be used to flush dirt or crud from the lockwork without taking the gun apart.

How can you disassemble a Smith and Wesson J K L or N frame revolver?
The Smith and Wesson J, K, L and N frame revolvers share the same basic procedure for disassembly and reassembly.
To disassemble the revolver, first remove the grip screw from the left side of the revolver as the revolver barrel faces to the left.
When the grips are removed the side plate will be fully visible.
Remove the screws from the side plate.
To remove the side plate, hold the revolver to the horizontal position with the side plate facing down. Do not pry off the side plate as that will damage the side plate fit.
Sharply rap the now exposed grip frame with a wood or plastic hammer until the side plate loosens. Continue to rap, and the side plate will fall off along with the hammer block, so be sure it falls on a padded surface.
At this point most internal parts will be visible and accessible.
The cylinder can be removed by sliding the cylinder crane to the left and out of the frame, while holding the cylinder in place.
The cylinder will now be free.
Removal of the extractor rod and extractor will not be described here, but the extractor rod is threaded in reverse to prevent loosening while operating. Caution: The extractor rod assembly is very often damaged in attempts to unscrew it. Also, it is necessary to support the extractor while unscrewing the extractor rod.
To reassemble the revolver, do the above in reverse, making sure the hammer block has been replaced and the side plate seats correctly.
You can tap on the side plate with a wood or plastic tool to seat it properly.
Replace the cylinder crane and cylinder. Be sure the correct screw is used to hold the cylinder crane to the frame.
Replace the remaining side plate screws in the correct place along with the grips and grip screw.
Holding back the hammer slightly, or with the hammer cocked, look in the gap between the hammer and frame to be sure the hammer block has been replaced. If not the side plate must be removed again and the hammer block must be added.
A word of caution here: before making alterations or repairs know exactly what you are doing. Revolvers are delicate and expensive machinery.

Where is serial number on forehand and Wadsworth revolver?
Most F&Ws that HAD a serial number had it stamped on the butt- and stamped on the rear of the cylinder. LEGALLY, the one on the butt is the serial number. Many older guns did not have serial numbers, especially lower cost guns.
.38 caliber firearms have been around for a long time- several muzzleloader, and cap & ball revolvers used that caliber (Colt Navy models). The .38 rimfire was created about 1861, and was followed by the .38 Webley, various .38 Colts, S&Ws, etc. The most common .38 cartridge today is the .38 Special (which is actually .357, not .38) It was created by Smith & Wesson in 1899, and is still in production.
