Guys, after reading your answers and viewing some videos, I came to the conclusion that I have a very bad and problematic Dan Wesson 732 revolver and maybe without repair or with a difficult one
In the end I have two problems:
Timing problem (slow) and misalignment cylinder/barrel problem...
Now I see why I have a lot of lead debris coming from the gap cylinder/barrel and lot of lead on the top of the barrel (no photo) and in the forcing cone. When I push the hammer back, the barrel rotates but sometimes do not engage in the cylinder stop, so I shot many rounds with the cylinder a little to the left of the barrel, where the lead accumulates...
On the other hand even with the cylinder docked in the cylinder stop - I do not have a light to put inside the chambers - if I introduce a brass rod inside the barrel it touches the left side (viewing from front)of the cylinder, in all the chambers, what do not happen on the top, right and bottom of the barrel...
So, I have a slow timing revolver and a misalignment cylinder/barrel
About the misalignment I don't think I can do anything unless open a little the forcing cone, correct?
Now, regarding the timing, I notice that the hand has a recess near the tip, where it touches the ratchet in the cylinder, I don't know if that recess is from factory or is wear - the revolver is like new, only a total of maybe 400 or 500 shots - but I think that is the problem, as it turns when it reaches the middle of the ratchet it doesn't touch it anymore so the movement is not enough to reach the cylinder stop...
Must I buy a new hand? Can I adjust mine?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Mike
