I have a smith and wesson 66. It's about 10 years old and has been pretty well loved. Cleaned as soon as it was shot. And lives in it's case on the shelf.
But I really don't know how many rounds I've put through it. It's gotta be a few thousand. Most of that was .38 special. But lately it's been spitting grit from around the cylinder. It's more noticable when I shoot .357. Last time I got a little fleck of something splashing back at me.
Could the timing be off? What causes that? What can be done to determine and then correct the problem?
