OK, I've got black deposits on the outside of my cylinder, right outside of each of the 5 chambers. They are in-between the "flutes", and only at the very front (towards muzzle) end of the cylinder. I first tried just using CLP, soft cotton brush, and a lot of elbow grease. That didn't work then I used the same method, but tried some bore cleaner for about 20 seconds with the same soft cotton brush, and right away wiped that off and put on more CLP. The bore cleaner helped just a little, and I quit with it because I didn't want to tear up the finish.
Does anybody else have problems like this? Is there anything I can do to remove it w/o screwing up the cylinder finish? I can live with it, they're fairly small spots, but I do like my guns clean. Anyways, its a 342PD if that makes any difference or not, but I have had a 340, and I remember being able to get it clean.
