Take a good picture of the ratchet/star extractor/lug (the back of the cylinder), and post it here. If all the chambers align correctly when dry-firing except one (the same one each time), the problem almost has to be a lug problem. A picture should show if that is the problem.
File on nothing, make no attempt at repair until the problem has been correctly indentified.
