I have a 629-6 and the cylinder rubs on the back of the barrel when closing and there's no gap between the cylinder and the back of the barrel (cone?). I have turned the cylinder six times when closing it and it rubs every time. (Please forgive my terminology, etc., as it's early and that's my excuse for now!) there is a very small amount of cylinder play back & forth and if I push it back it doesn't rub. I was wondering if thin shims (.001) are made to put between the extractor rod and the collar? I have an extractor rod removal tool on its way from Brownells. I was first going to unscrew it a little, spray some quick evaporating cleaner (circuit board cleaner I used when I was still working commercial HVACR service) on it and screw it back in before I do anything first in case there's a tiny something in there.
Or, do I take it to a gunsmith and let him/her do their magic? The cylinder turns fine when I shoot it, dry-fire it, single or double action, and it doesn't spit anything out the side when I shoot (probably because it's so tight between the two areas.) I bought the gun used before end of 2020, but I don't get it out to the range very often, so I just recently noticed this. I did have a couple light strikes in double action (maybe 5 at most) shooting .44 Specials, but I found the tension screw wasn't turned in all the way. Any thoughts, etc., appreciated.
Thanks, Jeff T.
