Cylinders & Throats
Drove to Wake Forest this wknd & spent a nice but cool day with DougGuy & we fixed my cyls. & throats on 5 revolvers all had uneven throats (different sizes)& the usual ruff throats, not no more.
I disassembled & DougGuy worked his magic !! not really as he has a bench full of the correct tools to do the job with!!
All came home with matching throats & smooth forcing cones!!!
Here`s a pic of my blued GP100 throat, he cleaned it up nicely with a few turns of a 5degree cutter.
The throats he cut then polished to exactly the same thing (the best I could feel with the pin gage)enuff typing , I`ll let the pic say the rest !

Ifin ya thinkin of doing it yourself like I was there`s no way to afford all the pin gages,bushings & pilots to do it RIGHT.
Looking forward to range day!!!!!

He is great to deal with my gp 100 cylinder is on its way back to me right now

Very nicely done. I wish DougGuy were close enough for a road trip.
Thanks especially for the pics. They tell the story.
Bravo Zulu guys....

Yep good work from the sound of it and the pics here and there. He's done a bunch of work on the forum here.
-
Please tell me how that goes.
I have several revolvers that have me wondering if I need to work on throats. It may be too late but if you have before and after groups that would be enlightening.
Thanks,
dilly

Range trip pending , hope I can shoot 1/2 as good as I hope these revolvers do!
Gotta work this sat for sure .
But what I was really after was that tad bit of leading in the cone.
& now that`ll be a lot easier to taylor to now that all the throats are the same & the cone slikened up a bit

Wish I was closer also, so I could watch and learn as he's working on my three cyl. Hope they will be back soon, but looks like another cold week in Central IL so no hurry yet.
