Anyone have any suggestions, for the proper sequence for stripping and re-assembly of H&R DA/SA rimfire revolvers? Specifically 649, 650 and 676 models.

Nothing is broken in the two that I have. They function fine. The 650 has the .22LR cylinder and the 676 has the .22 mag cylinder.
I was thinking of taking them apart, to check for burrs, rough places, etc. Slick up the trigger pull?
The cylinder on the 650 will turn counter clockwise, with the hammer down. I was thinking of filing the cylinder stop, so that it engaged the cylinder slots, a tad more. Maybe I should just shoot them?

Yes, that's exactly what you should do.
You should not take them apart, and you most definitely should not start filing & polishing parts.
They are what they are, and nothing you can do with a file will make them anything else.

I've got one in a cigar box somewhere that I made the mistake of taking apart 40 years ago. At least I think I have most of the parts. 
If you do it, you might want to go ahead and have a box handy to store the pieces in.

When these guns were assembled at the factory they had specially built jigs to assemble them. If they were assembling them like people do nowadays after taking them apart the labor costs would have forced them to charge three times what they were selling them for. Rule of thumb: any revolver that uses pins as opposed to screws is not made to be taken apart unless a part fails.

But if nothing else, it teaches the value of using slave pins.
