Is the cylinder "locked" in any way to avoid accidental rotation?
What safety measures are in place to stop cross ignition between the cylinder tubes?
How does one demount the cylinder for cleaning?
It would be interesting to see some "exploded" pics of the pistol if possible.

As you assumed Stu (AKA kahnjar1), there is a button on the bottom which unlocks the cylinder so that it can be hand turned. There is an index mark on the cylinder that gives the user an idea which chamber is in use and the depressions in the cylinder help easily locate the next locking position. The chambers are loaded and can be cleaned via and opening in the stock in front of the trigger guard. The locking button, indexed depressions in the cylinder, and loading access can be seen well in the second photo.
