Has anyone had a revolver where some chambers are more accurate than others? Could this be a timing issue?
I have a well-used S&W 34. I was noticing a lot of 4+2 groups. 4 clustered holes very near point of aim and two flyers. So I marked the cylinders, did some testing, and confirmed that 4 of the chambers in this revolver consistently shoot well, and two cylinders consistently send out flyers.
I checked timing as best I could with the "rod through the barrel and chambers" method, and couldn't see any differences.
Has anyone else seen something like this, or is my revolver just weird?
