Yes, interesting. One question; I don't remember what the crown shape on the pre-64 M1 Garand looks like. Mine is similar to this one: (The post-64 M1 is triple angle) This looks promising.... and well within my means & budget, thanks for the input all.

Appreciate the suggestions. This is a Model 88/284, '62-3? vintage w/ pristine, original bluing. Just having it in the shop near machinery makes me nervous. The hand turned piloted reamer idea is clearly the safest IMO, but I'm always open.

I have an older Winchester which has a sizable nick in the crown. Unfortunately, it's rounded and I've not been successful locating a curved reamer to duplicate it. Yes, I have a lathe, but I draw the line at the complex task of separating the barrel from the receiver, so the lathe solution...

Thank you, Old Fuff I never implied that rcmodel was anything other than experienced 'smith. But in alignment with mutual respect, it also goes both ways. Again, thank you

It's easy, just numbers is all I seek, NOT a tutorial on the negatives of amateur gun smithing. Either you know, or you don't know. Pretty simple... eh?

Right question... apparently the wrong forum.

Hummm?.... stumped the Stars... eh?

Re: Single Six, SP101 barrels Are the barrel threads OD & thread pitch the same between these two? And is the .22 included or different? External difference not withstanding - talking only the barrel threading.

http://www.go2gbo.com/forums/index.php/topic,161193.0.html (post #6, about page down) I assume Bob Baker is the FA CEO and developer of the .224-32 cartridge. "Earlier this week we tested 3 new unfired revolvers just to verify the case forming and loading process. 60 cases were fired...

No mention here either: http://www.go2gbo.com/forums/index.php?topic=200418.0 I don't argue that there's likely case expansion, but I'm really curious what FA is doing to alleviate the infamous cylinder jamming? And as noted, the ballistics Jeff stated are in alignment with the Five Seven...

Thanks Dale. I think I can grasp what is being said here, but after a little research, I think I've become even more confused. The image below shows an factory, unmolested 5.7x28 cartridge on the right, and a mystery .224 revolver cartridge on the left. What's intriguing here, is that the...

Just to be clear, are you saying that this is a characteristic of the 'bottleneck' cases in revolvers? If true, then it shouldn't matter if the case was rimed, belted, or rimless (talking ONLY the cylinder jamming issue, not extraction or other issues)?

It's late, and i'm tired. Appreciate all the helpful information.

What is the Overall Cylinder Length? SP101 and the 941

Does the SP101 or the 941 have adequate cylinder lengths? Needs to be at least 1.60" OAL. The OM Ruger is. Also, is the bbl removable on either of these?

Lovely... more OT alternatives.:rolleyes:

Hey, I'm retired, so oops are supposed to be ignored. And again, 'that' cartridge is irrelevant to this discussion, irregardless of spelling, ballistics, cost or availability.

I'd rather not discuss the .22 WRM. The fact that it cannot be easily reloaded eliminates it from the discussion.

So it's because of the bottle-neck case? I ask because i'm looking at my OM 45's ACP cylinder, which doesn't have the problem and it's a rimless also. Of course, the chamber pressures are likely half to a third as much as the 5.7.
