I still think the Nagant revolver's system of the cylinder moving forward to seal the chamberface against the barrel would solve your problem of trash blast. The Nagant has a small block that pushes the cylinder forward as the hammer is cocked. It's not a complicated system at all.
Might be worth it to you to pick up a Nagant and try it. Great fun to shoot and plink with too.

The worst problem with the early revolver rifles was their use of the Cap&Ball system, making the possibility of chain firing very real! Not a worry with cartridge arms.
