robomanusa Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I used a tapered stone chucked in a dremel to do mine with, turned out great I had the stone cut down in diameter to just miss the ejector star and ended up being a perfect fit for my chamfer job.

spook Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 My smith did mine for $10 and it turned out great. I did the first one myself with a small file. Also good. Go with what reloads best, not what looks fastest Nick, your new avatar is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadHunter Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I bought a chamfering reamer from Brownells. They're pricey (~$75) but I had a lot of wheelguns to do. Very easy to do with the reamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guninhand Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I too used the Brownell reamer with a guide for .40 cal. There were some light chatter marks so I got a bag of marbles from the $1 store and used the ones of the right diameter along with 400 and 600 grit clover compound to smooth the marks out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi guys, what's the part number? I can remember seeing it, but can't find it anymore, not even in a search on their web site ?

ewokUk Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Thanks Nick, much appreciated I had ingored these as I thought they were muzzel only! But...What's the difference between .45 ACP-1 cylinder & .45 ACP-2 cylinder??? Thanks again Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robomanusa Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Your Welcome I'm not sure on the 1 and 2 issue....one of the other revo guys are gonna have to chime in to answer that.....it might have to do with at one point the ejector stars changed profiles and may be a clearance issue but not sure on that and could be totally wrong.......?????

cking Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Right at end of the description it mentions the 45acp 1 and 2 differences. One is smith 1 I think, 2 is colt? Had same question myself. Also I find the 1/2 diameter too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerosigns Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) I went to my local Harbor Freight Store (Discount Tools). I bought a counter sink with three different size bits. Total cost $4.99. The 1/2 size is perfect for doing .38/.357. The 5/8 was a little big for .45 acp, so I turned it down to the right size to clear the star. Still have a spare bit looking for something to chamfer. Took my time, came out nice and smooth. Edited May 17, 2006 by aerosigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killarbb Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 can these methods of chamfering be done on the 325 ti cylinders? Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
