The 552 has standard chamber , it's the 550-1 that has floating chamber.

Re: 1886 TD mag hanger help
Sounds like someone tried to drive it straight out. They are radial dovetails. You pull tube part way out and use tube as a turning aid. To rotate out.
Round barrels are worst for wear to dovetail ,once damaged going oversize and or tig welding is about all you can do.

Re: Interesting question for black powder shooters
The burn ring of discoloration you see on all cartridge revolvers .Which is a result of carbon . I've never noticed it on any cap n ball revolvers after cleaning. Never fired black powder cartridges though and was wondering if it gave same effect as smokeless.

I picked up a really nice 38 break top Iver Johnson owl head .
Trying to figure out model and if it's blackpowder only.
It may be unfired as bore and cylinder show no signs of being fired.
Charcoal blue is flaking and corrosion from being stored on holster maybe .it's like new.
