Hello,
have a .357 and a .2bod then from Monson, both blued. I scrub them clean with over bore brushes, but they only release the spent casings the first few rounds, after 5 or so they start sticking again and have to pushed out. The .357 has visible rings from .38. Anyone els have this issue?

Use a little Chore Boy bronze pad on a jag to get the lead out of the cylinder and you should be good to go! Welcome to the Forum; lot's of great information here and even better members.

If you got a visible ring in the chambers of the 357 is it fouling or a cut in the chamber wall?
I had the same problem with 22 revolver a couple years ago. I had just bought it (used) and when I shot it the first 10 or twelve would eject with finger pressure after that it took a smack with me hand. I took a 25 caliber nylon, chucked it in a variable speed drill, dunked it in a bottle of Butch's Bore Shine and turned it back and forth in each chamber for about two minutes each wiped them clean and no more problem. If that gets your ring out problem solved if it doesn't you'll need a new cylinder 'cause you've got flame cutting. My bet is on dirt.
Just had a thought: are you having trouble chambering the ammo?
Good luck and let us know.

Good evening Boca and Welcome to the DW family.
Nothing I can add about the cylinder except I would think it is just left over residue.
While you are at it check your barrel cylinder gap. So previous owners thought the wider the gap the better things would be. Barrel nuts can also be loose.

I had this same problem with a 14-2, previous owner had shot too much .38, and cleaned too little. I used a .40 bronze bore brush, loaded with CLP, chucked into a cordless drill. Slow and easy, run the brush pretty wet and just keep scrubbing. 30 minutes of work and .357's dropped right in and fell right out.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Had virtually the problem with my 715. Used virtually the same fix. I think one of the keys is the over sized brush. If your careful with the cordless and don't got wild in high gear, it makes pretty short work of the problem.

Definitely scrub your bores clean, because gunk in the cylinder bores can easily cause sticking issues.
Are you using reloads or factory ammo? If you're shooting reloads, heavy crimping can also cause ejecting issues in some DW's.

Hey, just in case i missed it or nobody answered it- There are rings in each of the cylinders about 3/4 the way down that are purposely there from factory, you will not scrub them out, and the shoulder/rings are permanent .

Thanks for hints and tips. I shoot only factory loads, and I scrub by hand with oversized, larger bore brass brushes. After a good cleaning the first 5 or so cylinders empty easily as expected, then some sticking, then soon I must use a tool to knock out the spent shells. It limits range time and happens on each revolver. I use hopped #9. So cleaning helps but only for limited time.

By chance, are there black streaks down the side of your cases after you fire/ eject them? Are you firing 38 or .357? Factory or reloads?

Hello,
no reloads, all factory, mostly .38, less frequently .357, I never noticed black streaks, but will look for that.

No need- I was just thinking of another problem. The reason you get a few cylinders through without experiencing the problem is probably that as the cylinder heats up, the steel expands. At first there may be some wiggle room when its cold.
