![]() They are not binding because of fouling building up on the surface of the cylinder and binding in the gap, they are binding because there is nothing to deflect fouling away from the cylinder base pins. I attribute this to the fact that there is no raised bushing on the front surface of the cylinder, it is completely flat across. These pistols tend to start binding after 2 cylinders full of BP rounds, even with Big Lube bullets. The only revolvers I own that tend to bind up really quickly are my Reminton 1858 New Model Armys, fitted with R&D cylinders. I really don't have plans to shoot them with BP, but I have a strong suspicion that those tight gaps would cause some binding. 002 gaps would tend to bind up from fouling on the cylinder face. I have never shot them with BP, but I have a suspicion that the. ![]() 357 New Vaqueros that have relatively tight gaps, probably down around. As long as I have enough lube on my bullets, I don't get any binding. 005-.008 are fine for shooting Black Powder. My experience has been that gaps running from around. All of them have the factory barrel/cylinder gaps, I have not opened any of them. I have shot Black Powder in my Colts, clones, and Rugers. Needless to say he went out of business and left countless people in the lurch. As a matter of fact, one fairly prominent "gunsmith" in CAS ruined many guns by opening up the forcing cone gap. ![]() ![]() I have never seen any evidence of the forcing cone gap aiding this problem. If neither are available then that is when you get "vapor lock", e.g., Remingtons. If you don't have space for lots of grease on the cylinder pin (arbor) then you need a gas ring. I don't mean to sound contrary but all my experiences speak to the complete opposite of "loose tolerances". The reason why Remingtons lock up is that there is no place to put any lube on the cylinder pin. D.D., I shot a buddy's Uberti Russian Model continuously for NINETY SIX shots after liberally greasing the cylinder pin with Crisco. In essence, a tight gap deflects it like a gas ring. Fellas, what on earth are you basing this on? I have shot BP in revolvers, cap 'n ball & cartridge, since the early 1970's and the tighter the forcing cone gap the better as you don't get all that fouling blowing onto the cylinder pin. ![]()
