On the flame part, it sounds like excessive cylinder gap. My personal max is .008, but most of my guns are .005 to .006.

You were right about the gap! I went out and got a feeler gauge this morning. The cylinder gap is .013 on one side (goes 3/4 of the way through) and a loose .012 from the other side.
So that's where the flames are coming from? Do you know the specs for the gap on the Model 25? It can't be that much. I'm getting soot and burn marks halfway down the outside of the cylinder!
