Hello,
Several times, on this forum and other places, I have read the following statement concerning correction of excessive endshake: "If you adjust your revolver's endshake to minimum spec. you will also set it's B/C gap to the largest measure (you gonna increase the gap)". Like this is something that can be avoided by simply NOT correcting the endshake. I was even explained once that the cylinder, right after ignition, is only dragged forward by the speeding bullet. Well, today I remembered a slow-motion video on YouTube that showed very clearly this exact condition - you can start watching from 0.30 min. mark.
Watch closely the lower back part of the cylinder - the gun fires, bullet drags cylinder forward, but at the instant the bullet clears the cylinder the pressure generated by escaping gasses pushes the cylinder all the way to the back where it stays until the bullet leaves the barrel - i.e., until the pressure drops. So, when it counts - firing - your revolver's B/C gap is always at it's biggest size.
Best,
Boris
