Cylinder mark...

[vega]

Is it normal for the bolt to leave marks on the cylinder between bolt notches. What should I do to correct this?

BTW, I own a Taurus M827.

Thanks,

Look back to March 7th and you'll find this topic in this forum and in The Smithy.

Short answer, yes, it's normal.

There's pretty much nothing that can be done about it short of redesigning the internal mechanisms of your revolver.

I'm not a big revolver owner, I only have 2 right now. Neither has a cylinder scratch, and I shoot them pretty regularly. I was told long ago that the scratch is caused by free-spinning the cylinder (pulling the hammer back just enough to unlock the cylinder and then turning and/or "spinning" the cylinder). So I don't do that.

FWIW-
