Make sure you pull the side cover and clean inside the gun as well. Pay attention to the screws and make sure they go back into the same holes they came out of also. Spray the internals with Gun Scrubber or something similar, let it dry and then lube it before you put the cover back on. Once it's clean and lubed, take it to the range and run a few hundred .357 mag rounds through it! You'll probably need to clean it after 150 -200 rounds. Otherwise the build up crud may cause the cylinder to bind a bit. Keep it clean and lubed and it will run like a dream. I've been shooting mine for several years and enjoy it a lot!Hi folks. So what is the best way to break in my new 608? This is my first revolver.... 6.5 inch barrel fresh out of the box.
Thanks

Thanks! I just placed a 608 6.5inch barrel on layaway! I just had to do my home work before I took the plunge! This will go well with my two S&W 629, 4" & 6".Absolutely! It's reliable, a good fit for my hands, has very little recoil, and is about as good looking as you can get!
Really like those Hogue grips BigSkiff. I ordered a set of Rosewood Big Butt grips for my 608 a couple of weeks ago. Hogue said 45 days to ship them as they are special order.Make sure you pull the side cover and clean inside the gun as well.
