Rocky Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 What does the gunsmith actually do when he repairs the timing for a revolver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tupperware Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 What sort of revolver are you talking about? Gunsmith procedure varies a bit by brand and action type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bountyhunter Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 "Timing" is often used as a catch-all phrase to cover a number of problems a revolver can have. Most common are "carry up" problems where the cylinder doesn't always rotate far enough to align with the bore when the hammer falls (usually caused by wear on the hand or star). Timing issues can also be when the cylinder stop bolt (underneath) isn't releasing or returning properly. Hard to say, but what exactly was wrong with your model 27 that made it need it's "timing" fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
