Model 66 Cylinder Issue

[Kmrere42]

Hi,


Not sure where this belongs,




I have a new model 66 7-shot revolver.  I wasn't happy with the accuracy so I started going through it to find the problem area.  I took a brass tube .346" dia which smoothly slides down the barrel and if I hold the cylinder against the stop in the direction of the hand, the tube rubs lightly against the side of the chamber.  By my calculation, the mis-match of the chamber to bore is about .013"  (chambers are .359) 

I do have new parts on the way from Taurus so I have replacements if I mess this up. 


Should I :

1) shave .013 from the cylinder stop

2) shave .007 from the cylinder stop.

or

3) open the port through which the cylinder stop extends by either amount


The reason for doing this is that when the bullet moves through the chamber and enters the forcing cone,  the cylinder will attempt to align itself with the bore.  The cylinder stop is preventing this and I am starting to see a slight peening of the slots on the cylinder.

Geeeze Paul, I dunno...    With that large a fault I probably would have sent it back to Taurus.  At least to see if their customer service has improved any.

I have been known to take a Revlon nail file to a Taurus which fixed the problem but I would just send it back to Taurus. That's a big mis-match. I agree with AtLaw.
