Hidalgo Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 wondering if anybody polishes the cylinder chambers? and if so, what/ how do you do it? Thanks Hidalgo 57046 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tequila Shooter Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 On my cartridge pistols I hone the chambers, not required just helps them come out easier at the ULT. I use Flex-Hones from Brownells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 If I have a chamber that is misbehaving (sticky ejection, etc), yes. Haven't had to do that to any of mine. I do have a chamber scraping tool since I use Cowboy .45 Spl cases in my .45 Colt chambers. I do try to remember to scrape the carbon out in case I want to ever shoot .45 Colt cartridges. I have been known to polish the throats if they are a little tighter than I like, though. Especially on Rugers. Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeaconKC Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Whenever I will get build up from .38s in .357s I just wrap some bronze wool around an old brush, chuck it up in a drill, put Hoppe's 9 on it and run it through the cylinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaukValley Sam, SASS # 66557 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I use Go-Jo gritty hand cleaner on a 45 C mop and use a portable drill to polish cylinders. At the unloading table I just rotate cylinder. tip barrel up and the spent shells fall out, no ejector rod needed (unless a split case). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 NO. Atz what ejector rods are for. Waste of time and effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder SASS #13056 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Long ago, we used to have pistol reloads on the stage, so many of us polished the cylinder and very very slightly polished the edge of the chamger to help reloading. Haven'd seen the need now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Cut the cylinder 0.005 over diameter of a cases and there is no need to polish them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
