1917 Cylinder Swap

Published: February 13th 2022, 4:55:11 pm

More going on to swap cylinders than you might imagine. The idea was to substitute a cylinder that could run 45ACP, without moon clips, properly headspaced. OH, and you cannot change the length of the arbor, or the star, or the chambers. And all 6 chambers must be in correct headspace, and it cannot shave lead, and the finish must match......

What could possibly go wrong? Last note, don't screw up a 120 year old NOS cylinder.
