Picked up a real nice clean 686-4 Snubby yesterday.
Took it apart, Cleaned, Hoppe'ed it, & oiled it up properly. Put it back together. Boy .. it clean. No scratches.. & probably no fingerprints on it. Put two S&W Nyclad Chief Special 38s, 129 grain into the cylinder. The spacing between the cylinder and the barrel is excellent .. can hardly see daylight between the two. Fired both shots. Had black donuts in front of each cylinder hole. This ammo is about 30 years old. Is this particular ammo dirty or a problem exist ? Thanks for your replies and suggestions.
