First of all I want to thank Iowegan again for the IBOK on the GP100.
The revolver involved is a GP100 161, Blued 6” barrel.
After checking some clearance tolerances with a feeler gauge, I recorded the following:
Barrel to Cylinder Gap .005”
End Shake 0
Head Space .004”
I have never had a problem with cylinder drag but am I in for it in the future?
If this cylinder is too tight both front and back, there is not a lot I can do, correct?
I know I can chamfer the crown to the point of actually sharpening the cone and I know that is not the proper thing to do.
I have never seen a problem with a (clean) revolver being too tight, so this is very unusual to me.
Probably the most rounds I have ever shot in this gun at one time without cleaning is 100 +/- when I changed sights. No problems found at that time. Or at all.
