Help wanted with Ruger Bearcat cylinder
My Father-in-law passed along his Bearcat to me when he passed away many years ago.
I rarely shoot it, thinking it hasn't that accurate.
Well, I took it to the range yesterday and found out my opinion of it was wrong, real wrong - it shot good.
Here's my problem. Some of the "chambers" in the cylinder are tight, some are not. I mean, in some, the new round just slips in and in a couple of them I had to really push to get it in.
I came home a cleaned the cylinder, ran a copper bore brush through the six chambers, especially the tight ones and though it's a little better, the rounds don't go in as easily as they do with, say, my big Super Blackhawk.
Do you have any suggestions on how to "loosen" the chambers in the cylinder?
Oh yeah, stupid me, what I thought were bad scratches on the cylinder turns out to be pretty etchings. I could always feel them, but took out my magnifying glass the discovered the etchings.
Here's the etching
