Jus' make sure it don't get back off too far as it don't lock up ...I doubt it that will happen and I'm sure you'll set er up jus' fine. Should not need to be more than and 1/8 or a 1/16 of a turn back and you see when it hits the cylinder just right(not hard and not too lite) that's where you'll leave it...

Deburring and polishin' up the innards without removing material smooths up the action alot.
The more ya shoot any of these Revs allows you a kitchen table Gunsmith's Course everytime you clean one...Next thing ya know you had a degree as a Kitchen Table Gunsmith Novice, Intermediate, ... and Pro maybe after a lifetime of learning.
Myself I'm stayin' at Intermediate so I can keep learnin' and live longer. At the rate I'm goin' I'm doin' pretty good...but them hard on the body years keep catchin' up to me and catch me off guard.
I gotta keep learnin' so I can keep a shootin'...
