    Revolver cyl. timing

    Has anyone out there been successful in correcting the timing in a revolver. I looked down the barrel with a light and see that the chambers are a bit moved counter clockwise. All chambers are out the same amount at full cock. Everything is smooth and locks up nicely. It seems the cyl. stop is a bit loose as I can rotate the cyl. slightly at full cock and almost get a perfect alignment. It is not all that much and the forcing cone will make some correction but it would be nice to get it right.
    Suggestions....

    If all of the chambers are out of alignment by the same amount, Rob Lewis at "Tri-L" can probably fix it for you. However, it is not uncommon in the Italian guns for there to be variations in how much each chamber is out of alignment. Those are hopeless without major work. An 11 degree forcing cone modification will force the bullets over some, but it does nothing for accuracy if the chambers are not aligned with the bore.
