    Hey DougGuy,

    What would you say to reaming a K-22 cylinder out to 32 S&W Long? As I've mentioned before, I live "just up the road a ways" in Lynchburg, VA and would love to take the opportunity to come down and try out some of your highly vaunted coffee. How heavily are you backed up these days? Do I need an appointment?

    DougGuy; I have a S&W .45 ACP Brazilian N frame revolver that I want to slick up---shoot better. I don't have any gauges to measure the throats, read
    somewhere to use a sized bullet, which I did. A sized .452 Colt 45 will slip in easily, and even have wobble room, so I guess they are larger than that.
    My question?, how much do you charge to measure and hone, ream, ?, a cylinder, and do I just ship the cylinder without the extractor and star. Please
    give me a quote. Thank you, I remain
    Respectfully,
    Pumpkin aka Marvin Baumann; Stockdale, Tx

    Who will do the centerfire conversion for you? I'm in Virginia too, and always on the lookout for good gunsmiths.

    I just reamed a 357 Beretta SAA cylinder out to 44 Spl. today. Did that the hard way. 5 different reamers in succession for each chamber, then a separate cut made to cut the ratchet pad for rim clearance. Am sure the purists are screaming but you have to use what ya got!
