    Anyone know of a shop I can send my .45 colt cylinder to, to get it reamed? Throats are .449-.450 while my bore is ,451

    Definitely send it to Doug!

    He's done 5 cylinders for me to date...He's fast, inexpensive, and his work is impeccable.

    I heartily concur. Doug's work is superior, his rates reasonable, you can't do better than to have him work on your cylinder.

    I've never used Doug's service but I've asked him some questions and had plenty of good advice from him. If I ever need a cylinder reamed he's the first choice.

    May as well go ahead and send it to Doug.... you’re NOT going to find any body any better, quality wise, timeline wise or price wise!

    Just do it....

    If it's a RBH, send your hammer to him at the same time. It's a quick way to a nice crisper trigger pull.
