Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA
Can begin by checking the gap between the cylinder and the forcing cone. There's an acceptable range but its less than a spark plug gap, that's for sure. There will be some gas pressure that escapes there, just want it to be minimium.
Using a spent cartridge or dummy can check for how well the cylinder is locked up when the hammer is falling.
The timing itself probably best dealt with by a gunsmith. AFAIK they don't sell timing lights for this
Not my area of expertise but if the timing is correct the bullet will enter the forcing cone without shavings.
