louu Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I just got my gun back from Clark custom. I had pretty much everything done and I also asked for the cylinders to be opened all the way up for moon clips only. This is all they did. Can this edge where the arrow is be chamfered? I'm using 38 short colt starline brass and tk clips. Also is the center star thing (that makes the cylinder turn) supposed to be all bear up like that? This gun is brand new, less than 300 rounds.

louu Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 Do you guys just take the dremmel to the cylinder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_B Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I'm sure they did it like that to have the proper headspace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSteel Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 If you start to chamfer the edge your showing it will get to thin and they will break off in a short period of time and cause all kinds of problems. Ask me how I know… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louu Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 That sucks, the rounds get hung up on there. How the heck you supposed to load theses things fast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
practical_man Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Llou, I’m no expert so take this with a grain of salt. I recently had my 686 cut for moons to shoot in Limited 6. I took a small burnisher to lightly break the edge on the extractor. Not beveled, just broken so it’s not a sharp 90. Seems to work ok for me. Granted, there’s a lot more meat on a 6 banger than those fancy high speed 8 shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) That will work fine if you use round nose bullets. They have to be full round nose, not round flat nose or round nose hollow point or anything with a flat end. You can bevel that part if you want to, but then it won't extract loose rounds that aren't in a moon clip and they may break off, as mentioned above. They did the job correctly.
