Barrel to cylinder gap on FB 715
If .006 is gap for changeable barrels would that also include FB 715 models?
If so, and it measured different what in the world would you do about it?

If you have a problem with the cylinder binding when hot or dirty you may have to wipe the face of the cylinder every couple of loads. I very thin trigger shim in the front of the cylinder may also help. The small frame cylinders have a tendency to expand when hot also. Hence the shim suggestion.

thanks guys,
I have had one or two occasions after cycling 100 rounds or so where the cylinder had to have residue taken off the business end. So with that I feel like I am in pretty good shape. Since there is a varying amount of opinion concerning how clean different powders burn and the possibility of residue forming if the right primer or right amount of powder is not employed then it behooves one to get off his butt, buy a couple of gauges and get the facts.
Think I will do just that.
