It is causing some leading in that area of the bore. I know it can be fire-lapped out, but I lack the time, experience and inclination to do it myself. Plus fire-lapping may take some serious time as S/S Ruger barrels are notoriously tough, so I've been told. Who would you men recommend to throat it or remove the constriction themselves? I dearly love this revolver, so I want it done right. Thanks, SG Last edited by SGalan; 06/08/2018 3:55 PM.
