I've opened up several S&W revolvers in recent years...
Some for a friend, others of my own, including my own Model 638-1 that I carried extensively, and I have yet to find any untoward 'crud' inside a one of them.
No lint, no dead insects, no nothing.
These guns were otherwise properly maintained but had never been detail-stripped or -cleaned.
Actually, none of them really needed it, not even after years of use.
