Apologies for bringing this Zombie thread back to the top, but it has been very helpful to me and I wanted to send it up so others might see it as well.

I stopped shooting one of my BP revolvers a few months ago after noticing this same damage. It had upwards of 500 rounds through it and has given me many afternoons of fun, but I was afraid to continue shooting it because of this wear pattern.

Now I know what it is and why it happens. I'll be taking it out again tomorrow.

This is a great forum.

And btw, this thread ought to be a sticky.
