I posted this at the bottom of another of my posts.. but I dont think anyone saw it...

So..

I took the revo in question to the range. It is much improved, though at first there was still some FtF. I now think that much of the problem may have been due to zero lube in the frame. After about 18 rounds the FtF completely went away. At that point I could not reproduce the problem no matter what.

 

That said there is still fore/aft play once the cylinder is closed. This is unlike all my other 15-2. I can only relate this back to the detent ball and spring ( assuming there is one). I just ordered a complete small parts kit from EWK, and hope fully that will cure that issue.

 

My next step is to actually do the swap all over again. My "second" shooter has a cylinder that does not like 180gr .357, while all other cyliders are just fine with them. The bluing is nicer on it as well. So hopefully in the end my wife will end up with a 15-2 that really only like .38, works well and has good bluing all over. My Second shooter will end up with a poor looking cylinder but at least I can shoot the "bone Breakers" I want it to. The next step will be to get the cylinder protected by something. ALthough it will be doing what has already been done here.. I am thinking of a good hard chrome on it. Its not like I plan on selling it anytime soon.
