Great answer. You'll killing me.Plenty of good advice. Make sure your balls are big enough and get shaved. Also consider getting new nipples.
How you guys carry on blackpowder conversations with a straight face is beyond me.

Yeah I have that problem a lot, my new meds make coffee taste terrible, so I can't even drink it.You are right. I miss read or misunderstood somehow. My lame excuse is that it was still before 6:00AM and I must have had a cylinder missing...
Yes, I know this. It was late and I only once referred to a chamber as a cylinder. Give me a break.So you probably don't want me to tell you that the big round thing is the cylinder and the holes in it are chambers, huh?
The holes in the engine block in your car are cylinders.
The holes in the cylinder of a revolver are chambers.
Unless it is a Smith and Wesson, then they are charge holes.
Sorry, couldn't help it, the school marm in me sometimes over powers me.
It was me.Sorry
I saw a few references to cylinders. I guess that was somebody else.
My bad.
If something does not work right I have to know why. Even if it is used as a part gun for your own education and ours find the reason for the malfunction.
It might be just an ornament now.Admittedly, there is something different. I could have sworn the loading arm went further into the cylinder when I first loaded it. Now it only goes in about a 1/4" before it starts to bind. Without the cylinder on, it moves in the maximum distance. This would indicate it is binding on the chambers. So maybe there has been an "adjustment" to the arbor/frame.
Nipples are further out!The dents in the cap retention ring were made by the nipples slamming backwards under recoil. Noz nailed it, nipples are too long. Get ones that fit.
A capped nipple should not contact that ring when the capped cylinder is pushed all the way rearward. That would be an easy test to perform, gently. The cap should just be close enough to that ring on the recoil shield to not fall off during recoil.
I suspect the one chamber that did not fire was at the one o'clock or four o'clock positions (from the shooter's point of view) where the cap retention ring thins out at the capping slot. The chain fire you experienced may have stretched the frame enough that the original conditions cannot be repeated now.
that sure made me chuckle tooPlenty of good advice. Make sure your balls are big enough and get shaved. Also consider getting new nipples.
