speculatorking Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Mike Carmoney. Go to Vendors and click Carmonize. You will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 If the gun is stock have Mike do his competition package on it. It includes the cylinder and an excellent trigger job. Well worth what Mike charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussB Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 S&W can also perform the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtrooper Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) +1 and the turn around time is the fastest I have ever seen for the quality of the work. Concerning Mike Carmoney Edited April 27, 2010 by oldtrooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcmunson Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Based on my experience, I recommend Mike Carmoney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Smith & Wesson won't get anywhere near what Carmoney will do. They would probably still charge as much or more. Send it to Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg K Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Smith & Wesson won't get anywhere near what Carmoney will do. They would probably still charge as much or more. Send it to Mike. I have seen a S&W chamfer job and you have to look close to see if they did anything. You will be better served by sending it to Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papaw Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Mike Carmoney is top notch. Papaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 You may also want to try Randy Lee at Apex Tactical depending on what side of the country you are on. Randy did a few of my revolvers and I was very pleased with his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resjudicata Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Another suggestion, send it to Mike. Have a competition shooter work on your gun rather than the factory. JMHO. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stradawhovious Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edited) I chamfered both of mine myself. There are two criteria for this if you aren't a gunsmith.... You have to be brave, and you have to be ready to send it back to smith for a new cylinder when you screw it up. Luckily both of mine turned out great! (I have lots of experience with working with small tolerances, and lots of patience so I wasn't terribly worries about it) One was done with the chamfer kit from midway, the other done with a cone shaped grinding stone and a dremel (gasp). I polished up both with the rubber polishing tips and again..... (Gasp).... A dremel. If you have the money though, like the others are saying, send it off to have it done professionally. Me? I have more time than money. Much, much more time than money. Edited May 17, 2010 by Stradawhovious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussB Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Here's the chamfer's I put on my 625. Subtle, but sufficient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cas Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 And on the other end of the spectrum, the extreme chamfer. I've actually done this gun three times over the last few year, more and more each time. That's one of the advantages of the old style ejector on a cylinder that's at about the end of it's service life with nothing to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Halley Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I like it. How'd you do it and where can I get one? How bad is recoil plate fouling on that gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the advantages of the old style ejector on a cylinder that's at about the end of it's service life with nothing to lose. That's the way I do mine. My first gunsmith saw it about 30 years ago and thought I was nuts. Now he does them all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0066jh Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) If anyone can help please do, how much does it cost to have the cylinder of a 625 chamfered and who would you recommend do it? Thanks, Peter. Peter Mike did my 625 as part of his package. Clark Custom Guns (Miculek's in laws) did my 627 and a model 66. I think it was $35-40 per cylinder. That was over a year ago, might be higher now. They both did great work. Joe Edited August 29, 2010 by t0066jh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMM50 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Hi: I also do my own. One thing to consider is that you are chamferring (if that's a word) to overcome the step in the round from the bullet to the case. So depending on your bullets, cases and crimp, the amount of chamfer needs only to be enough to hide this step. Don't forget to test with a full moon clip. Also I polish the cylinder walls with a hone. I've found this helps a lot with the reloads. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezco Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Mike Carmoney did the work on my 617 steel revolver, very nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Xtreme Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I got my cylinders back in the mail today from Mike Carmoney. He did a model 25 and a model 686 cylinder for me. Great job, very reasonable, I highly reccomend him and he did it in less than a week! Thanks, Mike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
