I am pretty new to revlolvers, after firing about 350-480 or so rounds my Dan Wesson model 15 revolver does not want to swing the cylinder back in place. Looks like the face of the cylinder is hitting the barrel.
The rounds were lead reloads .38 spcl cases 158 semiwadcutters over 3.8 grains of bullseye. Is it too dirty from all that shooting? ( No I have not cleaned it in over 400 rounds) |

Almost certainly a combination of two issues:
1) Needs cleaning, lots of crud on the cylinder face 2) Barrel/cylinder gap too tight. Factory spec was .006", in a clean well maintained DW you can run as tight as .002", BUT DW cylinder face is not always square. You need to check B/C gap on all 6 chambers, and gap to the tightest one http://www.danwessonforum.com/forum/ |
