Question for you folks who own multiple minis. Have you found a good way to mark the cylinders so you can keep the correct cylinder(s) with each gun? I am thinking of a paint mark or something but where to put it without spoiling the gun's looks?

Just a cheap $12 dollar engraver from Harbor Freight is best unless you want an expensive one .  :)

I use a sharpie and mark the inside of the cylinder area's frame with a small colored line. One cannot see it with the cylinder in. Then I place another small line on one of the flutes. One has to really look for it to see it but it is there and makes matching up the cylinders and frames easy. After a few cleanings the marks have to be redone but it works.

I didn't think the Sharpie would stay on even through one cleaning. That should work then.

The engraver sounds like a good idea too.

Thanks to both of you.
