Doug commented on a post I made a bout 45's and "li'l Gun" powder... in the exchange, cylinder dimensions came up since he does that service to folks.
I sent him 2 Ruger cylinders...one out of a brand new NMBH blue'd gun and one from a used SS 45 I picked up local shop.
They got there yesterday and he had them done and back out the door today! :bigsmyl2:
I'm headed out mid week next week and was hoping they'd be back...which they hopefully will.
Big story is that the used SS 7.5" gun had issues. Someone tried to monkey with the gun before. My gunsmith who doesn't do revolver cylinder honing and stuff, noted that some frame screws were hogged up, and some crappy trigger work was done which he was easily able to reverse.
however, Doug found that one of my 6 cylinders has an actual HOLE at the throat... and had been badly done resulting in an oval chamber. He marked it for me so I can by pass that chamber.
I do mostly hunting with my 45 colt revolvers, so loading 5 like the old Colt will be no problem.
Such helpful exchange over load data, then he directed me to a great "group buy" on a sweet mold I will surely like, and then to be so expeditious as to have the cylinders arrive Wed and back out today!
Customer Service the way it was once!
Thanks, Doug!!! Anyone needing a good "reaming" :razz: should give Doug a shout
