Revolver Cylinder Chamfering

[Whiggles]

Got a S&W 929 recently, and getting into revolver competition with it. It's becoming obvious that cylinder chamfering is going to be a must for this though. Can anyone recommend someone in Ontario that does this?

Except that the 929 has a TITANIUM alloy cylinder. Might be a bit more difficult than shown in the video.

Use a Supertanium cutting tool and all is well, not a difficult job.

Any smith with some shop experience should be able to do that work pretty quickly.

I used to shoot ipsc with a 929. Practice your reloads you can throw the moonclips in as is with practice.

Nick at Vulcan Gun Refinish was doing all kinds of DA revolver jobs, don't know if they still play around with revolvers.

Use a sharp cutting tool, keep the pressure on it, it'll cut just fine.

Ti cuts just fine with sharp High Speed Steel tooling. But if you allow the edge to dull, or allow that dull edge to rub on the surface, Ti will work harden worse than a hooker's heart! Then it become some miserable crap to cut!
