OCCASIONALLY, and only occasionally, IF no hand can be fitted that will work with all six teeth, I can agree that peening the two small teeth is worth a try. That is the only time I agree with peening teeth- when no hand that will work can be fitted.
In fact, after having shot it, I’m not sure the issue is happening on same chambers. Also, sometimes there is no issue at all. I could shot 20 cartridges without having a bad timing issue.
I should make a mark or something on the cylinder for each chambers to identify if the problem is happening on different or same chambers, but I have currently no idea how I could do that without damage.
