I have not bought primers in a long time. Holy fecking poop that is bad.
-
What do you mean catch? I just dump mine directly into the bucket from the cylinder.
-
Got my cylinder back from Toolguy! Now the barrel and cylinder gap is perfectly square and consistent.

A knowledgeable revo smith will square the cylinder between a mandrel and a center in a lathe. Then set the barrel back enough to be able to square the end of the barrel while establishing the proper gap. Find somebody that can do it.
Already have the cylinder taken care of. The guy who did the revolver conversion is knowledgeable too probably just a small missed detail as most PPC conversions are done on old pre lock model 10 and new smith and Wesson's are made out of a mixture of s#!t and butter.

The cylinder face was off by 0.004.

I just use the built in brass catcher that comes with my pistol you filthy bottom feeders...

New barrel. Maybe the forcing cone needs to be squared?
I had the same problem with the 1st dun I had cut for moon clips. About the 3rd clip the action would begin to 'freeze up' as I called it then. My gunsmith took about .004 off the forcing cone, back to square with the cylinder. Gun shoots great to this day. Almost 20 years later.
No the cone SHOULD be fine. The gap grows and shrinks as I turn the cylinder.

On a closer magnified view your gas ring looks off? Any chance you could put the bolt back in that the ejection rod rides on?
Gas ring? Bolt back in?

how does the rear of the cylinder gap look top and bottom?
Looks identical

So this revolver was a tuned ppc job and you put a new barrel on it and now the cylinder is rubbing the forcing cone on 50% of the cylinder?
Just about.
I just shot it for the first time. It jams up on the tight spot after firing about 18 rounds and I need to pull the trigger REALLY hard to get it to cycle.

Bent ejector rod?
No everything is straight, I had a gunsmith convert this thing to PPC rig and do crane ball lock.

This is not the "right" fix but if you can add a couple of end shake washers they might move the cylinder back far enough to eliminate the drag.
There isnt any drag right now but I am a lazy bastard and hate cleaning so the drag will be there from powder.

Should have between 6 & 10 thousandths between barrel & cylinder. It is highly unlikely your cylinder is not flush...
The barrel forcing cone is soft enough to run a good file over to open the spacing within parameters of the mfg to achieve a better fit.
That would be an obvious and easy solution why did I miss it?
-
It was way off before but it was such a loose factory gap it didn't matter, now it does. Cant see daylight through the top of the barrel cylinder gap and there is daylight on the bottom.

The hard part is you want to be spinning about the cylinder axis not the OD of the cylinder. If I didn’t have a lathe and wanted to try doing it I would put a best fit piece of threaded rod through the renter of the cylinder and spin it in a drill against a 1” belt sander. The more pressing question is why is it touching all of a sudden?

New barrel.
-
I dont have a lathe so... Is there a tool that squares off the front of the cylinder? Half the chambers are catching the barrel. Local machine shops dont want to be bothered and local gun smiths are sight installers and not gun smiths.
-
Wait what? 85 bucks for DOT insurance? How much does it cost to ship primers now?

I do not know but tightening the barrel and Blue Lock Tite solved my issue with the TRR-8.
Too bad DW apparently couldn't compete for what ever reason. I understand they were bought by CZ and make 1911's.
Wish I would have bought one when they were available.

They were niche silhouette guns with mediocre DA and excellent SA and accuracy. Mine makes ragged holes at 50 yards in a ransom rest.

how come my Dan Wesson doesnt come loose after thousands of rounds?
-
Speaking of PPC things. What was the original intent of heavy barrels? To reduce recoil or to reduce sight picture disturbance when pulling the trigger in DA?

I think Mojo said he might be done building PPC guns in the future, I would certainly message him and ask. I would also give Clark's another call, you never know what might happen to an e-mail. I know as of 2 years ago Alan Tanaka was still taking work, but he was running a year backlog then.
Mojo stopped making them like 2 months ago
I was told to email clay at clarks for PPC work.
Any way clarks doesnt seem to have 38 special n frame barrels. Where would I buy a good barrel blank for wad cutters 148 grain or so?

Try Pinnacle High Performance Custom, Mark Hartshorne. Hard to get in but well worth the wait
That gentleman is not taking any orders. I also emailed aristocrat guy he gave me some names.
Nobody wants to touch the n frame it appears. I have emailed clark and have not heard anything back for several days now so Im assuming that is a no go too.
-
I spoke with Glenn maybe 30 minutes ago. He didnt want to touch the N frame.
