Only of you never clean your chambers. This is a non issue if you occasionally cleand the cylinders.



I do clean……occasionally! However, carbon is rather difficult to remove……much easier if it’s never been put there! Why risk carbon, when simply using a case of proper length for the cylinder will avoid this potential issue! memtb
