I believe I asked you this before but well lets say it got deleted before I read it, OK I forgot. I have a old SW 66 in stainless. When I look down the cylinder it appears that there is a bevel about 3/8 " before the cylinder ends. this is on all 6. I origionlly thought this might be too much 38 special but they look uniform and equal. I don't see this on any other revolvers I have. Now this isn't a big bevel. I looks to be in thousands and is nice and shinny. Is this a normal thing.

buckhunter,

I will go check some of my .357 Smiths. I would use a brush and scrub the chambers, dry the chambers and see if factory .357s chamber and fire. Since it appears to be uniform in this old gun, it may be that was how it was made.

Thats what I'm thinking. Doesn't seem to be pitted or anything like that. My others are clean but this one has a bevel. Works fine so I will just keep banging away.

I scrubed it pretty good and its still the same.

buckhunter,

I checked my S&W M65 (circa 1982) and M28 (circa 1970) and both have that bevel gizmo near the front of the chambers. Thus, I guess it was factory done and is OK.

I happy to hear that. I had visions of someone saying the cylinder was no good. Thanks
