Just got my new single six to the range for its 1st rounds. When I got
home to clean it I was surpised to see flame cutting on the top strap.
I have a 686+ in 357 which I expect to flame cut, but a .22?? I didn't
think it generated enough heat and pressure? I wasn't using the 22mags
only Win 22lr hv stuff. Is Rugers metallurgy off somehow, the thing
is built like a tank, so somehow that does'nt seem possible. Its the
Lipsey's only one in stainless, 4 5/8" barrel. The flame cutting isn't excessive
just surprised to see it. OBTW, I checked the gap and it's .004. (not
as tight as my smith but not bad either).
Also is it possible to damage rifling in a steel barrel with an aluminum
cleaning rod. I've been using one on my guns for years but my buddy
seems to thing I should'nt, whats your opinion?
