So I bought this used Trooper MK 3. I noticed one chamber is tighter then all the rest. I found this out by dropping bullets down the holes, 5 went right thru and one held up. Is this any thing to be concerned about, should I have it "trued" up. I should have mentioned that I have not shot it yet.

See how it shoots 1st. It may surprise you. If it's not up to snuff chamber reeeming is not a big deal. Then you can go for an action job as well.

I would use that "one" as your carry chamber. I like to leave one empty when I carry it in the field. That one would definitely volunteer itself. LOL

1st new (also 1st "big bore") revolver I ever bought was a 6" Trooper MK III about 30 yrs ago. Don't remember what I traded it off for or even when but I sure miss that gun.
