shooterbenedetto Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Are there any advantages to either one? for a hobbyist gunsmith, nowlin will be better since you can order the frame cut and we can save tools and time fro this step. Why para ramp cut? What tool do you use to cut it and guide line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cheely Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Clark/Para. You can easily cut it yourself with a 3/8" endmill. Then you know it's in the right place. Who knows where it will end up when you get a W/N cut from the manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIIID Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Nowlin cut is my choice 99.9% of the time. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radical Precision Designs Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I have never had a problem with a factory cut Wilson/Nowlin ramp from STI or a Clark/Lissner from SVI. When given a choice I will do the Clark/Lissner ramp cut, as I consider it to be stronger/superior, but have no real aversions towards the Wilson/Nowlin and can do/cut it just as easily.

trickpony Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 More surface contact area with the Clark/Para cut. With the Wilson/Nowlin you can cut a Clark/Para if you ever need to... Both are good, I prefer my 'smith do Clark/Para on my guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediwarrior Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I have seen more broken barrels with the Wilson/Nowlin ramp design than the Clark/Para/Lissner design. Generally, I prefer C/P/L design on STI/SVI frames with long dust covers. It's much easier to cut since you mount the frame horizontally on the vise. For frames with standard-length dust covers, I use W/N so I could interchange easily with other brands of barrels. Although the C/P/L design is much stronger, the only disadvantage is the hand filing of the radius on the frame to match the fillet radius on the barrel. Use lots of Dykem Blue. Make sure you follow instructions on the measurements, removing too much or too little will cause problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistral404 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 My Clark/Para ramps have never failed. 2 W/N ramps have resulted in broken barrels. I try to stick with C/P/L in all my future guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
