Need a recommendation for a gunsmith to machine the cylinder on my Judge to accept moon clips.

Thanks for the help!
 
Ten-Ring Precision

Alex Hamilton at Ten-Ring Precision in San Antonio does world-class work from moon-clips to complete weapons. I have had several weapons worked on by him and can attest to the quaility. Check him out @ http://tenring.com/contact2.html (scroll down a page or so for the moon clips) - he is pretty good at answering emails.
 
Thanks for the recommendation.

I'm not for sure if I will pursue this or not,due to the higher pressures of 45acp.
 
45 ACP isnt what I call high pressure and they make plenty of 45acps that come cut from the factory with cuts. They also them for 357s so your good to go-
 
I agree, I don't consider 45acp a high pressure round,but it is higher than 45 Colt or .410.
 
It probably won't.
The AR rim is .090" thick versus the LC at .060" so it won't chamber and let the cylinder close unless rear gauge for the .410 adds a lot of headspace.
 
Thanks, Jim Watson, I see that now. The cylinder would need to be altered to handle the half moon clips and/or the rimmed auto cartridge.

Clip conversions commonly leave enough of the original cylinder rear face so you can still use standard rimmed ammunition. So I doubt even that would let you use Auto Rims. Not sure why you would want to, they are not exactly Cheapmart fare.
