the question is , how much stronger is the cyl after sleaveing down to 38 spl.
the cly was reamed out to .485 and sleved useing grade 8 bolt material. the outside
web thicknes was .070 and after sleaveing is .112 thick. i have another one to do and
now know where to get grade 12 bolts. good idea or stick with grade 8??
i,m not looking for lecture on why am i doing this, just experianced been there,done dat.
thanks
