Amen, Mikey. I am not one for excessive worry about endshake, but I sure don't want to shoot a revolver with .066" of it! I agree that whoever gave her the info was thinking of headspace.

If there is zero end movement, and depending on the gun design, cylinder heating can cause binding, just as too little barrel-cylinder gap can. Tolerances have reasons, believe it or not.
