Model 66-4 and flame cutting

[copasj]

I know the info is out there, but I haven't been able to find pictures that I could decipher =p.

Exactly what is one looking for as far as "flame cutting" or other damage from lightweight .357 ammo in K-Frames?

The underside of the topstrap, just above the B/C gap will have metal burned out of it, & the barrel forcing cone will be eroded.
