Cylinder End Play - D.A. revolvers?

[Adam Helmer]

Rev,

At the S&W Armorers' School, they called it "End Shake" when the heavy cylinder peens over the end of the barrel of the yoke. An armorer will remove the yoke from the cylinder, insert a liner and gently peen the end of the barrel of the yoke to move the cylinder back where it belongs.

Heavy loads speed up the end shake condition.
