Did you deglaze the cylinder before you installed the new rings?

You’ll need to, at the very very least, run a hone though it…clean very good…clean very good….clean very good….

I used a piece of sandpaper to give it as good a crosshatch as I could manage by hand.

Moot point, because I actually ended up putting another set of rings in, because it turns out the set I had put in there previously were used.

This time, I found a 3-stone hone and gave it a good cross-hatch before installing an NOS set of standard rings.
