Chamfering kit

Hey everyone, I have been looking for the chamfering kit that Brownells Carrys. I am putting together a SW model 10 and am look for this kit to remove a couple of thousands off the forcing cone. Any leads on this kit?
Thanks

You might be able to rent what you need if you can't wait..

That's the "whole 9 yards" kit. I might suggest a more basic kit unless you expect to use all the options. I also note that ALL the kits are currently out of stock.

A caution is in order about using the cutter and chamfer tools. Easy to go too far, creating more problems than one solves. That said, careful use of them gets excellent results in revolvers of need.

I have that kit and it has proven it's worth.

I too have an almost complete "all 9 yards" kit acquired from a friend getting out of pistol smithing. When I discover a need to do a job with the kit and the tool I need is a blank spot, I order it in.

I'm glad I got the whole kit when I did too. Ended up using it for many different projects.

I also got extra bore pilots, so I could have one at each end of the barrel & maintain better alignment, which worked out well IMO.

It cost $256 back in 2014, $390 today!

OP, hope you can find one soon. Put your name on the "notify me" list, you might luck out & get one sooner than you think.

The cutters in the new kits are better quality in terms of the cutting tool geometry than the old ones. They are freer cutting, and give a smoother finish.

I have one from long ago.
Not the complete kit as seen above,

Very handy set of tools.

I've resharpened , actually just touched up the cutting edges was all that is needed on the facing cutters. Easy to do by hand w/magnification.
Using them with a real cutting oil helps tremendously to get a nice smooth cut anf finish.

The bbl facing cutter comes in handy when working on an SAA revolver cylinder fitting it up.
The handle/rod in the kit is a perfect fit through the cylinder bushing and frame.
So you can use it to square up the bushing face(s)
and the inside of the frame where the cylinder bushing seats against to square up that as well.
