Sorry for my initial posting being kinda vague.......early today I guess. My particular reamer measures about 1.35" for brass length, and has the sharp shoulder. I see now several versions of the Kay Chuk, such as junior etc. I think I would need the Khornet just because of the blown out brass...

In looking for these Kay Chuk dies.........kinda scarce and $. Anyone have experience in using shortened 22 khornet dies for loading this case. I have the lathe and carbide tooling at hand. Could make a bushing die from the reamer just to bump the shoulder and perhaps constrict the neck with a...

I like the full moon clips for just target/range shooting. The threes are ok for carrying extras, but the two's I have never used. The fired case removal tools are worth their weight in gold. There is always some tension(snap) of the previously fired round out of the moon clip. Works on your...

Just found this thread on the old B&D. Still have lots of reading to do. I have always had interest in the B&D just because a piece of history. So when a PTG reamer become available on their sale rack for 40 bucks, I just bought it. Then bought a preowned 27 cylinder off ebay. I tried the fit...

G.F., I hear you about all the techniques out there in the machining world, some is based on experience; some on philosophy. The forum allowing such threads as to builds to me is a good thing, shares experience/knowledge. You don't have to believe it all the time, but nice it is out there. I...

The thread on reaming K22 cylinders from the front that I saw........the operations from the front of the cylinder is up to 32 cal, nominal 312. The cylinder is turned around for chambering. Just a perspective on what worked out for the poster...........nice thread to ponder. K32 build....

Yesterday was a longish day, but fairly enjoyable. I tried to understand more about why my pinned and non-pinned parts when put together would not allow a full movement of the hammer. I took it to the Saturday sewing circle at the local gunshop, some guys there made some observations that I...

I have been reading about several builds of a K32 clone here, kinda jealous my project is bogged down. I am familar with the little circular shims for the yoke and the ejector rod area for endshake. I believe that the headspace is an established number via the little circle of steel on the...

My old K22 bulged beater barrel's vintage is unknown to me, bought loose fwiw. The cylinder is the old style recessed with left hand threads on the rod, bought loose separately from the barrel years ago. I thought the lack of full movement of the hammer was related to the lack of full movement...

My sincere thanks for all the comments on my problem with my K32 clone project, they are much appreciated one and all........:) I think I can get thru the basic machining operations for relining the K22 barrel to 32 cal, tis done almost other than final trimming. My biggest obstacle that I...

I am hoping for something that resembles the Model 16 when refinished up a little. The original K32's are a bit stout for me $. So I am working with old K22 parts(taken off pinned recessed revolvers by parts vendors) and a newish Model 15 frame I bought locally that is not pinned/not recessed...

I bought a clunker K22 6" barrel with a bulge near the muzzle on the cheap, exterior is nice, but did have the bulge. I used a piloted drill and straight chucking reamers to ready for the liner. I took off the existing forcing cone to allow the liner to feature a short piece of 1/2" that mimics...

I acquired a non recessed, non pinned, Model 15-6 with the heavier barrel. I now have the above model 15's barrel removed and cylinder and crane out. I made up the frame blocks and barrel bushing for the removal, seemed to work ok without any trouble. I would like a 32 caliber K frame revolver...
