My first BP revolver was right similar to yours. It was a kit, purchased I believe from EMF through a Shotgun News ad sometime arounf 1974 or 5. In those days, Shotgun News was still printed on newsprint.
I never had a chain fire in it but I did not shoot it as much as you probably did. I happened to be stationed in Hawaii at the time and BP was darned hard to get.
At that time, I did not know enough to keep the loads light and so I have no clue as to what charge I was using. I did not shoot it a lot so it never had the chance to loosen up, but my sense is that it would have.
I had to scoops which I made from a .45 ACP and a 7.62 Nato with the neck and should cut off. I used pure Crisco over each of the chambers.
