Bought a used S&W Mod 58. Gun works fine. Looks to me like somebody beveled the forcing cone a little bit. Theres no flame cutting on the top strap, doesn't look like the gun has been shot all that much. I haven't noticed this bevel on any of my other Smiths, including guns that I have shot the heck out of with hot loads. The edges as they enter the barrel are sharp on my other guns. Was this something that Smith USED to do? A modification somebody else did? Erosion? Doesn't seem to be spitting lead, gap is good. Is this something that is/will be a problem?
