After my first outing, firing 350 rounds with my new Single Ten, upon cleaning it I noticed the pawl has worn as shown in this photo. The cylinder ratchet looks to be okay and there were no jams or problems. The gun still cycles flawlessly.
I'm wondering if this is normal "wearing in" of the surface as it contacts the angled face of the ratchet.
As the pawl is machined square and the ratchet angled, when new the top right corner of the pawl first contacts the ratchet face, so I can see why it would wear at this angle
Perhaps I'm paranoid but I have seen a couple ot threads about premature wear on the pawl face on Single Tens.
Anyone have a Single Ten they can compare this to?
