The scotchbrite will absolutely remove small amounts of metal, evidenced by the new scratches on the surface. These scratches also give a great place for future fouling to accumulate and grip onto forcing one to remove more metal to get into the small scratches where the fouling hides. Whether this metal removed will amount to a measurable increase in cylinder gap depends on how much you do it. I don't care much about removing the rings, but I'll occasionally use a brass brush to minimize it.

A toothbrush style BRASS brush with Hoppe's #9 will take those right off on a stainless or blued revolver, and a brass brush is LESS abrasive than your Scotchbrite pad. A brass brush absolutely will not harm a steel revolver, its too soft, while a Scotchbrite pad is abrasive to stainless steel, it will remove a tiny bit of metal, a brass brush won't do that.

Mothers chrome polish cleans the burn rings on my revolvers like nothing else. It's messy and gets into the cylinder chambers, but I then use a bore brush and it also cleans the burn lines inside the cylinder too. Hose it all out with bore blaster and it's ready for light oil and storage. Makes my revolvers look new and unfired. It also is good on the built up carbon on the frame around the forcing cone/barrel.

Go with Kleen Bore, light years ahead of anything and not abrasive. I break the entire gun down after any rounds fired and fully clean and re-lubricate. In so doing this allows the entire cylinder assembly to be taken apart and with the Kleen Bore cloth cut into small sections, with complete rubbing the front end comes out better than new. Phenomenal product. I use Hoppes for the barrel, as well Kleen Bore. The combination is exceptional.

I'm all for cleaning a revolver. However, I'm not a fan of cleaning the cylinder head. The more you can close the gap between the cylinder and the barrel, the more oomph you will get from your cartridges. Obviously, if it has built up so much as to cause contact...brush/clean a bit off, but just a bit.
@samhouston12888 жыл бұрын
On the cylinder gap, anything under 0.010" is fine. I believe that's what S&W's tolerances are. 0.003-0.005" seems to be the optimal distance, thought if the gun shoots well, it really doesn't matter. Your not going to get that much more oomph from a slightly tighter cylinder gap.
@riverstyxarmory97828 жыл бұрын
going from 0.000" gap to a 0.004" takes a good bit of velocity out of a .357. but 0.004" to 0.006" drops in the single digits which is dismissible as a temperature shift. more than about 0.010" starts to drop worse. 0.004-0.006" is a good gap.

He removed the cylinder & used steel wool on the face. I thought same thing about stray fibers, my next thoughts were compressed air & bronze wool. I've never seen such a thing as synthetic steel wool myself. Scotchbrite has silicon carbide or aluminum oxide grit mixed in the plastic, grit varies with pad color. The pad with which I ruined glass in 1979 was brown, and I've been very careful with Scotchbrite ever since. I have some that is dark green; I would not use it on my gun unless rusty.

A scotchbrite pad is pretty abrasive, a little metal is removed every time it is cleaned like that and it does add up, I wouldn't use it on the cylinder face very often if at all. There is really no reason to get the cylinder face perfectly clean unless it is causing interference between the cylinder and barrel which is unlikely given the fact that hot gasses blow through the gap. A gun is a tool if it's not perfectly spotless does it really matter? Keep your gun clean by all means but it's not worth damaging it for cosmetic reasons, just my opinion but do as you please.

I ALWAYS REMOVE MY CYLINDER AND GRIP FIRST AND AFTER CLEANING MY GUN, I USE SEMICHROME. APPLY A LIBERAL DOSE LET IT SOAK FOR 10-15 THEN USE A PATCH OR OLD T-SHIRT AND SOME ELBOW GREASE TO REMOVE THE BURNT POWDER FROM MY STAINLESS AND NICKEL REVOLVERS AND AUTOS. IT MAY TAKE MORE THAN ONE APPLICATION AND A TOOTH BRUSH FOR THE TIGHT AREAS, I ALSO USE THIS METHOD AROUND THE FORCING CONE AND THE TOP STRAP ABOVE THE FIRING PIN. THEN I APPLY SEMICHROME TO THE WHOLE GUN (STAY AWAY FROM THE BLUED PARTS) AND WIPE IT OFF. LOOKS LIKE BRAND NEW WHEN YOUR DONE. THIS JUST SEEMS LESS ABRASIVE THAN SCOTCHBRITE OR A BRASS BRUSH.

how do you go about it on your 629 performance center?... i just got the 627 pc, so im wondering if the lead remover cloths would work without messing with the matte finish... i normally use mothers polish on my others but.... sure dont want to shine up the matte finish

Flitz metal polish and a soft toothbrush makes them go away in a few minutes. Any tips for removing the 38 Spl marks from inside a 357 Mag chamber easily, quickly and safely?

Nice. Thanks! My GP100 has been afflicted now with those same burn marks for nearly 30 years. Going to be shiny new looking very soon.
