I have a ruger security six that binds the cylinder up when it gets hot from firing. When it's cool it shows no symptoms. I measured the gap with a feeler gauge and with the cylinder being pushed forward I can BARELY squeeze a .002 in there. With it pulled back I can fit a .004 but not a .005. There are circular scrape marks on the cylindar face in the buildup between a couple bores. This lead me (haha) to believe that the cylindar to barrel gap is the problem after everything gets warm.
I read that a knife sharpening stone or fine file can be used to carefully take a thousandth or two off the barrel end. Is this ok to do?
