I have some questions about my new to me SBH project.... Here's the problem: my SBH spits a a lot of debris from the cylinder gap, much more than any revolver I own, to the point of causing bleeding on my face.. I did take it in to the local smith and the cylinders line up, cylinder gap is .006, the forcing cone is within spec and timing is fine...
I slugged the barrel and it comes out at .430, the cylinder mouths are in the .433- .434 range by slugging them also.
The spitting is not noticable with .430 sized cast, very bad with
Remington 240's and 240 XTP's..
Do you think this is a cylinder throat issue? would a 11 Degree forcing cone help?
Would Ruger repair a SBH that has the barrel cut to 4-5/8??
I'd Appreciate your thoughts,
James
