I have done many of mine, GREAT results, I have checked my Colts which were all fine, my Dan Wesson 22LR, fine, last but not least, my Taurus, an older one that looked much like an S&W Model 17, fine.
I guess I don't understand why S&W 22 revolvers are like they are, but it sure is easy to fix them. I had some guns that were difficult to even get a cartridge in the cylinder.
I wonder why it was so easy to buy them on GB so reasonably??
As far as bluing afterward, I doubt it matters, but I used a Q-tip and some OXPHO Blue from Brownells, which always works well for me.
Very glad I read about this process on this forum and I have enjoyed shooting my revolvers much more now.
For those that worry, nothing is loose now, just not crazy tight, Dave Manson makes great products, the manufacturer of the reamers I use.
Amazing what came out of some, others just a bit, but all are better for it.
